Friendly and helpful owners

We were pleased with the accommodations at Cook Gardens in Whanganui. Great facilities in the units with kitchenette and dining table & chairs, couch in lounge area with Netflix & Sky on the TV. A separate bedroom and large bathroom with small spa bath and separate shower. Area to sit outside the room and free parking. We didn’t have a car but found it easy to walk around the town. About 20 mins walk to the river and less to the town centre. Owners were very friendly and gave us a lift to the riverside a couple of times. Easy to find out way around and mainly flat.

Excellent choice for 2brm apartment

Great motel, very spacious 2 bedroom apartment. Beds were comfy, everything was clean, kitchen was well stocked. Heatpump was great but a little confusing, on a relatively noisy road but earplugs solved that problem.

The new owners have updated many things with quality products. For example, heatpumps and beds/linen. Makes for a very comfortable stay. The high reviews that the motel has got, is certainly well deserved. I definitely recommend staying here.

Well located motel and comfortable apartment

Has become our motel of default when staying at Whanganui. Everything we need and well located for town centre, river and restaurants. A friendly reception and having the heater turned on a cool evening a nice touch.
