Looking for a motel?
Both travellers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help to make check-in quick and easy.

    During his stay at the motel while working in the area, our data technician highlighted several positives: a good sense of safety and security, a comfortable bed, and the host's exceptional accommodation by allowing an early check-in for rest before his late work hours, as well as a convenient late check-out. He said he would be very happy to stay there again in the future.

    Durie Vale is close to Whanganui. The property is down a steep driveway. It is best to park your car on the road and walk down the drive. The owners were in the adjoining house. We liked that the heat pump had been turned on to warm the house before our arrival. The beds had electric blankets which were appreciated.

    The host had endeavoured to give us a quiet room. We also had an allocated car park. Another bonus and the reason we had chosen the motel was that it is beside an EV charger.

    You could call the style of motel as 'retro' but it is well equipped and comfortable and an easy walk from the town centre. We had the front unit with a great view of the river. There was a fair bit of traffic on the road in front during the day but at night it was quiet and we slept well. Steve, the host was really friendly and helpful with local info.
