Coachman's Lodge Motel, hotel in Whanganui

Offering free WiFi and free parking, Coachman's Lodge Motel is located 5 minutes' walk from the Whanganui River. All accommodation offers a kitchen, a dining setting and a flat-screen TV.

It was very spacious and wonderfully accommodating to me and my dog, with a lovely grassy area for a quick doggie pee. I also loved the privacy created by the large plant boxes, and atmosphere created with fairy light, especially at night. Receiving a newspaper at my door in the morning was the cherry on the cake. I also booked an extra night to stay which was very easy.

    I was amazed at the character of the city and the lovely heritage buildings, also the beauty of having a river flowing through the city and the ocean also in sight. It was my first time in Wanganui and I loved it.

    Lovely kiwi town. Good food, galleries and nature. We highly recommend the amazing Quartz Museum (NZ largest collection of NZ ceramics and also some cool international work). We stayed at the Braemar House B and B. Spotless, good value, charming building and lovely friendly owners. Even the owners chickens were friendly!

    It's very easy to find your way around Whanganui, while there were a lot of cars in the city on market day, it's still nothing compared to the bigger city traffic! Great food places and had most of the usual retail shops.

    We enjoyed Whanganui town, but since we were there just to attend a wedding, we didn't get to view a lot of different places. Where we stayed, he wahi pai na te mea he tata ki nga whare kai, close to eating places and supermarkets. Once we got to learn how the streets connected with each other, we could navigate better. We enjoyed Trafalgar Shopping mall, the new Farmers walk-through in town centre, and the look-out at Castlecliffe.

    Whanganui is an ol'River Port town that still carries that ambience. If you were comparing ol'Paddle steamer towns with an Australia vs NZ type contest, you'd have an Ecucha Victoria or Morpeth NSW vs Whanganui match-up. Whanganui has the ol'Paddle Steamer "Waimere" still in operation & a Waimere Steamer Museum. Don't miss out on the War Memorial Tower & look-out, it's a musta, you can even get an elevator there. All the shops are here for the gals & of course the wife bought a new dress for the Whanganui Races. We spent 2 nights @ the Riverview Motel in a self contained Garden Unit, serenity abounds at this establishment, it's old but still gold.

    Whanganui is a great place to visit.

    Whanganui is a great place to visit. Friendly, great vibe, lots to see and do and not very expensive. I have never had a bad coffee there! Saturday market by the river is a must, as are the parks and gardens, a trip on the Waimarie, the tunnel and elevator, arts trail, beaches, bike trails, museum and restaurants. Heritage Weekend and Christmas Boxing Day are REALLY busy with a ton of stuff on. The Boatshed in Aramoho was our favourite restaurant this trip. Only negative in Whanganui is the AWFUL driving - and we are from Auckland!

    The Klein House is an amazing place to stay! We really enjoyed everything! Everything is super comfortable, feels really like a home away from home. Gus is baking rye sourdough bread and a lovely breakfast provision is in the fridge. Kitchen is well equipped. A choice of different teas, capsule machine, and should you be a pro even a proper espresso machine is available. Well, we will be definitely be back! Thank you for providing such a cool space, guys!

    I loved the service from the owner. What an absolute pleasure it was to be greeted with warmth, positivity, and the greatest smile. The recommendations for restaurants were a win as well and very much appreciated. The room was also spacious and great. Loved the location, so close to all arterial routes. I took videos opposed to photos of the room, so I can't share them, but we were more than happy. We will definitely stay here again.

    I liked the flexibility of check in and prompt communications with staff. Loved that there was a spa at even though it wasn't working. Having option of electric blanket and heater in each room was great. Having parking was also great and plunger coffee option was a bonus too. On arrival our host was very friendly and helpful. A great start to our break in Whanganui.

    The spa bath was lovely and the main reason I specifically booked this room. The room was a good size and the hotel room had great kitchen facilities. I really loved the added extra of a lovely dressing gown for after the bath. The room was heated in preparation for my arrival on a cold wet afternoon. Very comfortable bed and pillows. I would definitely stay here again.

    Beautiful location next to the Whanganui River on the very edge of the city. Great to be up among the birds and watch the canoeists go by. Fantastic conversion of the former signal box into accommodation and very nicely done. Well appointed, loved the bedding and ingenious the way everything needed has been fitted into the space.

    This is a low cost hotel but the wifi worked well , the beds were comfortable and the showers functioned well. We selected this Motel for proximity to our destination and it worked well for us. Not a place for long term stay-due to minimal in room cooking and cleaning facilities

    What a great hotel! It looked like an average spot upon arrival but the room and desk staff were really special. And the in-room spa tub was quite a treat after driving 8 hours ! Comfortable and clean. Wish we could have stayed longer.
