Outstanding all round. Would recommend.
Paula, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Comfortable, well-appointed and located

Has become our home from home on visits to Whanganui. The apartment has everything we need and is well located near the centre of town. It's nice to get a friendly welcome too with the heater turned on pre-arrival on a cool evening.
DAVID J, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Check in was a pleasure. The owners were very friendly and helpful. They even offered to drop us off for dinner. The accommodation was very clean and beds were comfortable. Location was within easy walking distance to shopping and dining. I would stay here again if I was staying in the area.
Ari, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The new owners have updated many things with quality products. For example, heatpumps and beds/linen. Makes for a very comfortable stay. The high reviews that the motel has got, is certainly well deserved. I definitely recommend staying here.
Anthony, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was a fantastic place to stay, owners were very professional in all aspects of the motel. Best place in town.!!!!!
Marc, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very friendly owners/ staff and helpful, everything was absolutely perfect... apart from the beds.... too soft, and pillows too hard, this is of course a personal preference and not the motels fault!!! However, none of us slept well unfortunately.... we would definitely return but bring our own pillows next time.
Erin, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A nice clean motel, friendly staff. Slightly away from the main drag which makes it quiet overnight. But still easily walkable to the centre. Recommended.

Brenda, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Friendly and helpful owners

We were pleased with the accommodations at Cook Gardens in Whanganui. Great facilities in the units with kitchenette and dining table & chairs, couch in lounge area with Netflix & Sky on the TV. A separate bedroom and large bathroom with small spa bath and separate shower. Area to sit outside the room and free parking. We didn’t have a car but found it easy to walk around the town. About 20 mins walk to the river and less to the town centre. Owners were very friendly and gave us a lift to the riverside a couple of times. Easy to find out way around and mainly flat.
