“You must Stay here”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012

This is the best motel in Wanganui. What makes this amazing is the warm welcome you receive from Mark and Karen and little Jimmey. Only 4yrs old but will sell you a room. Karen has the Irish charm that makes it feel like you are arriving home for the night. The best rooms are down the back but my room upstairs had a great river view and spotlessly clean. Great beds to. Had a great nights sleep. Stay here.

“Good, clean accommodation at a reasonable price”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 December 2011

If you're looking for a base in Wanganui for a few days, this motel is in a good location just a few minutes from town and opposite the river.

Our room was clean, we had fresh fluffy towels each day, and the shower was always hot. There is wi-fi internet access should you need it, and the owners are very friendly and helpful.

“Great place to stay, very friendly hosts”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 November 2011

We recently stayed at the Riverview Motel for 1 night. A last minute booking. The owners were very pleasant and helpful. We stayed in a small studio unit, which was very clean and tidy. Lovely location across from the river. Great walk along the river, in either direction. Only a few mins walk from town. Free wif fi. Only downside was an unpredictable shower head. Water fluctuating from hot to cold, but other than that a great place to stay.

“RocknRoll Nationals”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 October 2011

Our RocknRoll Club booked accommodation at River View Motel for the long weekend as Nationals were held in Wanganul. Our bus was greeted by the hosts Mark & Karen and farwelled by them and their children who were fascinated by all these people turning up in a 48 seater coach. Nothing was a problem for them and we are very comfprtable and handy to our venue. The rooms were very clean and comfortable and lovely grounds. Would recommend.
