Although we dont stay in too many motor lodges - we were really impressed with the quality of this one. The room was capable of sleeping fopur, together with a nice kitchen area and a large bathroom with a huge spa bath. Strongly reccommend this lodge. Also, dont believe what peple say about Wanganui - it is lovely!!!!

Our apartment here was spacious, spotlessly clean and well serviced. It had very good furniture and extremely comfortable beds and we really enjoyed the magnificent double spa bath -would be good for honeymooners -even better when you had it to yourself! There were very good lights -good for those who like to read in bed -and was very quiet (apart... More

The motor lodge provided a very good base for staying in when in Wanganui. The short walk to the city centre is not a problem (so you get a great choice of places to eat and explore). The reception staff and the cleaning staff were all very friendly and helpful, and there is a laundrette on site which is relatively... More

Aotea motor lodge was very conveniently located in Wanganui- walking distance to shops and supermarkets, the staff were very friendly and it was very good value for money. The only reason not to give it 5 stars is that the beds were too soft- I have back problems and was in some discomfort after two nights. Teenage kids appreciated the... More

Aotea motor lodge is a very nice motel on Victoria avenue. It is a 15-20 minutes walk into the city centre. The rooms are spacious and you have a balcony. The views from the room are not special. You can have breakfast in your room, but there is a very good cafe Parnell 200 metres away.

We stayed a couple of nights here and found it excellent. Very comfortable and good to have air conditioning in a hot summer. Very helpful guy on reception when we arrived. We found the beds very comfortable and free Wifi appreciated. Excellent bathroom - we found the double spa bath a little too daunting to use but would be great... More

Modern, stylish and well decorated interior but in a poor position with not much natural light. Other reviews warned of too soft beds and large spa baths in the bedroom, which turned out to be true on both counts - the bed slumped in the middle and the spa bath dominated the room. Staff were friendly but we won't use... More

Was really excited to stay here the one night especially to use the spa - not at all disappointed here - just fabulous; bathroom is so ultra modern - wonderful. Kitchen facilities adequate for the 2 of us. Spaciousness abounds room is well designed. Unfortunately whilst the bed looks absolutely fabulous it was just way too soft for either of... More

We stayed one night after a very long trip down from Auckland and found the room to be excellent. The bed was very comfortable, the room clean and well appointed. And we made use of the double spa which was brilliant. The staff were friendly and helpful so overall we thought the Motel was excellent value.
