The accommodations were well-maintained and the bedding provided a comfortable experience. Regrettably, the quality of the pillows did not meet expectations. The en-suite facilities were clean, and the shower offered excellent water pressure. The staff demonstrated a high level of professionalism and provided exceptional service.

Marc
It was a fantastic place to stay, owners were very professional in all aspects of the motel. Best place in town.!!!!!
Paula
Outstanding all round. Would recommend.
Erin
Very friendly owners/ staff and helpful, everything was absolutely perfect... apart from the beds.... too soft, and pillows too hard, this is of course a personal preference and not the motels fault!!! However, none of us slept well unfortunately.... we would definitely return but bring our own pillows next time.
Nigel
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.
Colin

Brenda

Jason

Yvonne
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.

This was a great place to stay for our family of 2 adults and 3 little kids. Good space, and very helpful management. Would stay again!

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.
DAVID J
Comfortable, well-appointed and located
Has become our home from home on visits to Whanganui. The apartment has everything we need and is well located near the centre of town. It's nice to get a friendly welcome too with the heater turned on pre-arrival on a cool evening.
Ari
Check in was a pleasure. The owners were very friendly and helpful. They even offered to drop us off for dinner. The accommodation was very clean and beds were comfortable. Location was within easy walking distance to shopping and dining. I would stay here again if I was staying in the area.

The owners were lovely and welcoming. They made sure you had everything you needed. Its walking distance to town. The room was just what we needed. I recommend the Asure Cooks Gardens Motor Lodge to anyone that need a motel to stay at.

Steve
Great location, close to the main drag. Perfectly clean and tidy. Good value for money.
Wendy
Great friendly welcome
We had a great two night stay in a one bedroom unit which was nice and roomy. It was a nice touch having chocolates in the fridge as a welcome treat. We had friends who wanted to leave their car at the motel while we went out to dinner and sightseeing together and Daniel and Carla said it was no problem for them to be allocated a car park next to ours which we appreciated. Would recommend and stay again.

Love staying here, staff are always so friendly and best part is the little chocolates they have in the fridge ☺️
MAREE
Although quiet, the bed was so hard we had a terribly broken sleep, the shower leaked, and so did the toilet. In addition, the shower silicone was grotty and there was a big hole in the gib wall. The room's facilities were fine, and it was good to have Netflix and Sky movies. Two little chocolates in the fridge are a nice touch. With some basic maintenance and improved bedding, this place would represent value for money.
Lachlan
Property was very basic and lacked any type of service. They even forgot to service our room for basic items like towels… they make a big deal in the room information sheet about daily room make up and cleaning. Rooms are very noisy, can hear what the room next door is saying and doing very clearly. Heating is poor and very noisy, no heat pumps or any form of cooling. Clean but wouldn’t stay again.

Disappointing
I booked this room after seeing the high ratings score, so was expecting a great stay. Unfortunately that was not the case.
The room was a decent size and and was reasonably well equipped. The kitchenette area had enough stuff to allow basic meal preparation. That’s where the positives end though.
The bed was quite uncomfortable with pretty hard pillows. The room wasn’t very clean and had a bad smell. Floors, in the bathroom, were dirty as well as the surfaces not having been cleaned very well. The toilet had a ‘seal of hygiene’ ribbon but was not very clean. The shower was the same. It looked like it had been cleaned, just not very well.
I ended up cutting my stay short, driving home in the late evening, rather than staying an extra night and setting off in the morning as originally planned.
I wouldn’t stay here again.

Well appointed, well located and comfortable
The motel has much going for it, located close to the city centre and not far from SH3. And if you wish to break Snell's mile record, Cooks Gardens is close by too.
It is well equipped with unlimited wifi, full sky channels, a second independent TV in the bedroom, parking outside and a couple of nice touches, e.g. plunger coffee and welcome chocolates.
It was a cold, wet weekend so heater and electric blankets were welcome.

Comfortable bed, fast free WiFi, and conveniently located less than 10 minutes walk from the CBD. However, if you are over 1.7m tall, you might have trouble getting your head under the shower head, which is fixed way too low on the wall - I have a bad back, and found having to crouch underneath it difficult. Noisy mini fridge in my room too. Friendly and welcoming hosts.

One night in Whanganui
This is an above average motel - somewhat older in style and fittings but which the owners have done much to update it. All the crockery etc for those catering to themselves was of good quality. I was impressed by the information for visitors book which indicated that the owners were doing the most they could do to be environmentally conscious. Walkable to town, shopping and gallery.
