A nice clean motel, friendly staff. Slightly away from the main drag which makes it quiet overnight. But still easily walkable to the centre. Recommended.

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.
