We were told on arrival that they were fully booked and the manager didn’t know how we were allowed to book the stay through Booking.com, we are so glad and grateful that the manager was able to shuffle some other guests around so we could have a room

Beautiful, quiet location with friendly hosts and a generous breakfast. The guest house is behind the host's house at enough distance that you have privacy. The spa tub was a nice bonus.

I am not one for lengthy reviews however there are many things that I would like to comment on. This was a last minute booking for the Vintage weekend in Whanganui (? spelling) the Town was very busy with the majority of good Hotels and Bach's booked up, Fordell is a couple of miles out of town. But this was easily compensated with the Hotel’s location, appearance and the Hosts Stephen and Annette. An 1860’s ranch house which burnt down in 1997 ( I believe ) but rebuilt to the original construction with beautiful “Rimu” orange wooden floor, doors and cupboards.everything authentic, but with some modern extras. A sight to behold. The House with 3 rooms at the moment, is set in very well maintained beautiful grounds and gardens surrounded by Palm Trees and woodlands, almost picture postcard views facing the road. The house has history shouting out from every corner. We stayed two nights, which allowed visits to the weekend activities (vintage weekend is recommended) but also allowed time for a tour by the obviously proud owners S and A , both knowledgeable about their property and it’s history. 3 rooms at present one en-suite, offering a hearty welcome,

The property is in excellent condition and the room was spacious. We can confirm all the other reviews that say the bed is very comfortable :-). The area is very quiet and yet within walking distance from the main street, where one can find decent restaurants and a couple of nice coffee shops (the mischief café is highly recommended). Best of all, the couple managing the motel are extremely friendly and helpful, and we had a couple of very pleasant chats with them. Thank you for making our stay all the more pleasurable!

The staff were very friendly and helpful. There was dedicated parking behind the hotel. The room was very pleasantly furnished and decorated. It was clean and quiet. Check in was smooth. The hotel has a great bar/pub adjoining, where breakfast and dinner was served. It's an old hotel with great routines and processes in place; all in all a professsionally run hotel. It was a great stay.

There was a large spa in the room that looked very nice, but we did not use it. There was a nice shower in the bathroom and we were given towels. In addition they had a free washing machine with a coin dryer--very convenient.

The lady at the reception is so kind to give us the room overseeing the Rotorua River. Bed is comfortable. The heater helped us to better cope with the cold evening. A lot of parking space.

A bit off the normal tourist track - but well worth the stop over. Great coffee and toasties at Franks restaurant. Lovely Main Street to look at the shops. A large variety of antique shops. The river is very nice to walk along as well.

My connections with Taumarunui are mostly through the Tiger Moth Club which was formed there in 1969 and returns every October to the best grass aerodrome in New Zealand. We always get a great welcome from the townspeople - and the weather is (usually) ideal for open-cockpit vintage biplanes.

The Whanganui Museum and the Sergeant Gallery are both worthy of extended visits, they are a highlight for any visitor to the area. The small arts and crafts galleries are interesting and innovative; some very fine and quirky cafes enrich the experience - for any visitor, Whanganui is now one of the most satisfying cultural locations in NZ.

Due to a flooding warning, I canceled my trip. Unfortunately, the motel did not meet expectations. I was told by the staff not to come again because they "don’t like my type." I will certainly not be staying there in the future.
