Top Watt Fountain Hotel Reviews

'The Dogbox' Architectural home in Central Whanganui.

10/10 Excellent

"I've been wanting to stay in the Dogbox for a while – it did not disappoint! Clean and thoughtfully decorated, with very comfortable beds. I slept like a log. Listened to some records, stared into the fire. Very relaxing. All the stars."

151 on London Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Great to have the Cafe next door. Close to the main road. Plenty of parking. Well appointed room."

Anndion Lodge Motel and Function Centre

8/10 Good

"Large unit clean and comfortable outside could do with a water blast and a bit paint maybe there waiting for better weather.Probably wouldn’t stay there again ."

Riverview Motel

8/10 Good

"Great location but not a happy reason for staying- I was pallbearer at my partners funeral, which was at the very nearby funeral home. Very handy to the city where my friend (who had brought me up from Kapiti) and I had dinner on the Sunday night. Good parking right by our rooms. Very friendly, helpful reception staff member. Good amenities- mine recently refurbished I think. Excellent colour choice for decor and a very comfortable bed. Thank you."

Burwood Manor Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Parking easy, location handy"

Riverside Townhouse with room for all the family, great location & WIFI

8/10 Good

"Excellent location, clean and comfortable. Cons - we were unable to connect to wifi (we're not very techie though) and twin bed was a bit short for 1.83m adult but this would not put us off recommending this choice to others. Lovely river view just across the road and walkable to town."

Kings Court Motel

"Very clean and tidy. Good location. Quiet."

Te Awa Motel

8/10 Good
