    Decent base for discovering Whanganui with extremely friendly and outstandingly accommodating staff that bend over backward for a request. Location - handy and absolutely perfect near the river and the CBD, and a decent coffee shop. Also, near the bridge close to all amenities😃

    Beds were not so comfortable.

    This place has a great location with a view of the garden. 🌿 It's only a short 15-minute drive to the airport. the studio suite comes with all the basics you'd expect, like climate control, multi-channel TV, and a microwave for your convenience.
