"Absolutely fantastic staff, friendly and willing to help. Our room was spotless and staff that cleaned it went above and beyond, we will definitely be staying there again."

"Clean rooms, good staff."

"Brilliant stay at Kai Iwi. Rugged beach on a wild weekend of weather looked great out the window. Fantastic communal areas and kitchen. Easy access to Whanganui for some great beers and bike rides on the river "

"Staff really friendly; unit very comfortable with excellent facilities. Would go back."

"Rooms are very spacious and extremely well decorated. No lift but the barman assisted us with luggage. The room attendant is 75 but she is an absolute gem and very thorough with the room makeup. Bar downstairs is not noisy and has great food BUT I didn’t like the vanilla rice pudding. "

"Great room in a classic old building. Shared bathroom might not be for everyone, but for 1 night and for the price, it was great "

"Absolutely amazing staff!! We had a flight delay from Auckland and found ourselves arriving after the check-in desk closed. We contacted the motel and they were incredibly kind and efficient, getting us set up with our room still and saving a trip up the river the next morning that would otherwise have needed to be delayed or cancelled. Can’t say enough how great they were, and so kind the next morning too. Room was well outfitted and very comfortable, with everything we needed. Right next to a walking path on the river and maybe 10-15 minute walk from the main couple of blocks of town where restaurants and other shopping/mail/atms/etc are."

"Great location for us to stay as we were visiting Bushy Park and Bason Gardens. Lovely bunches of daffodils in cottage was a nice touch."

"This is a charming little place by the shore. Rugged little exterior, with lovely interior and great amenities. The warmest welcome in Whanganui. "
