Top Ward Observatory Hotel Reviews
Anndion Lodge Motel and Function Centre
10/10 Excellent
"Loved the charm of the suite, wish we could have spent more time there."
Riverside Motel
10/10 Excellent
"This is a classic Kiwi motel, complete with original 1970s features. I hope they never change it. The owners are lovely and kind. The rooms are spotlessly clean, with everything you need for your stay. It was quiet and peaceful, in a great location, looking out at the river yet very close to the centre of town. I’m so glad I stayed here. "
