Whanganui Bason Botanic Gardens Hotels

"Brilliant stay at Kai Iwi. Rugged beach on a wild weekend of weather looked great out the window. Fantastic communal areas and kitchen. Easy access to Whanganui for some great beers and bike rides on the river "

"Rooms are very spacious and extremely well decorated. No lift but the barman assisted us with luggage. The room attendant is 75 but she is an absolute gem and very thorough with the room makeup. Bar downstairs is not noisy and has great food BUT I didn’t like the vanilla rice pudding. "

"Very clean and tidy with great indoor outdoor flow and fabulous view. Great spa "

"Absolutely amazing staff!! We had a flight delay from Auckland and found ourselves arriving after the check-in desk closed. We contacted the motel and they were incredibly kind and efficient, getting us set up with our room still and saving a trip up the river the next morning that would otherwise have needed to be delayed or cancelled. Can’t say enough how great they were, and so kind the next morning too. Room was well outfitted and very comfortable, with everything we needed. Right next to a walking path on the river and maybe 10-15 minute walk from the main couple of blocks of town where restaurants and other shopping/mail/atms/etc are."

"The comfort and convenience of our unit, the Garden Suite, was very very much better than its street apeal. My partner has trouble walking, she has had a stroke, but the parking next to the step free food and the very convenient layout and comfort of our unit made our stay a real pleasure. "

"Fun, quaint little spot right next to the beach and a fantastic park and playground. Quiet neighborhood that is reasonably close to everything we wanted to do!"

"A beautiful scenic location. Perfect for 2 people.Some special additions left for us, like fruit in the fruit bowl, milk, tea and coffee provided.Also I really appreciated the sofa bed being made up for my daughter for when we arrived.Thank you so much for the lovely place to stay."

"Room was clean and comfortable. Other than a laundry no other facilities available. Happy with our stay and would stay again. "

"Very comfortable with EV charging. Some road noise with windows open but quiet when closed."
