Relax in the Wanganui Dunes

10/10 Excellent

"Really enjoyed our stay. Awesome view from the lounge looking out to the ocean.Spa was tops.Clean and tidy inside and out.Easy to communicate with host.Would highly recommend this property."

151 on London Motel

8/10 Good

"The compact studio room was perfect for a single traveller and very quiet. Netflix was a bonus. The shower's water pressure was great and there were plenty of towels, flannels etc. Good selection of coffees and teas. Only a few minutes walk to 3 supermarkets and a bottle store, plus takeaways if needed. Didn't use the adjacent Thai restaurant but it was very busy which is a good sign. Will definitely consider Motel 151 when back in Whanganui."
