there must be two different sections of this motel & we stayed in the old part. a long narrow unit, you needed the light on in the Kitchen so that you could see. Bed was comfortable but area was small. the morning we left I was packing the car & left the door open - a staff member walked straight... More

We stayed at the Riverside Motel and found the Motel very smelly and dated,when I got an extra pillow out of the wardrobe it had long black hairs on it, when I posted a review to their site about it. The reply was full of lies.This is not good on the part of the owners.The Motel is close to everything... More

My husband and I made a fleeting visit to Wanganui and wanted somewhere clean and reasonably priced for our overnight stay. We were pleased with the Riverside Motel.Our unit had a separate bedroom, as well as a queen bed in the lounge. The kitchen was pretty well set up although we didn't cook. A coffee plunger with coffee was available.... More

Staff were friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean and comfortable, with well appointed kitchens, so we could eat in. No traffic noise despite location on a busy street. Yes it has dated decor and fixtures - but all as clean a as whistle and all worked as they should - so no complaints there! Great value for money. More

This was a simple, straightforward no fuss Motel to stay in, situated on Somme Parade right by the Wanganui River and looking over towards the Durie Hill and Bastia Hill Towers. It was also an easy walk into the city centre and its associated attractions. I was travelling with my elderly mother and was delighted to find it was built... More

Only stayed one night could have easily done more. We had the 2 bedroom units. Just what we needed with 2 kids, still gave us time out by our selves. Lots of space in bathroom. Little things like soft soap a great idea. Forgot my bedside clock, was all packed up with name and unit on it and able to... More

We where looking for a one night motel and looked around. Indeed few others recommended on this site are more recent with that asceptic look but their price is also 40% higher. This motel is situated just beside the Riverview Motel, opposite the river, near the old bridge to the Kuwai playground. It's not very modern deco, but it's clean,... More
