Great place with excellent facilities, lots of space, and beautiful animals all around! It was a bit confusing getting there but I think that might have been my fault for being tired. It was a great place to stop for the night, but I think it'd be even better for a longer stay so we could enjoy more time with the animals and make use of the space. My favourites were the cat and the ponies, but the cool black goth chickens were the most impressive.

Jenny and Doug are exceptional people! they‘ve made sure everything was alright for me. Everything was truly impeccable. Breakfast was very nice and the homemade cookies, granola and jams were a lovely touch! If you’re looking for a place to stay in Palmy, look no further, could not recommend them more enough 🥰

    We were in PN because of treatment at the hospital for recently diagnosed cancer. On discharge from the hospital we choose to go to the cafe Thyme and Fig. We spotted a car park right outside the cafe. Perfect as my wife had a catheter in tow and was wearing her pyjama bottoms. When we had hydrated we decided to head home to Greytown. You guessed it- we got a parking fine. I'm afraid that soured our stay in PN. We were frassled and never thought about a parking infringement. There are no parking meters in Greytown so it certainly wasn't on our radar. I'm astounded that the fine is $70. That is steep for pensioners.

    Palmerston North, known to other New Zealanders as 'Palmy'...

    Palmerston North, known to other New Zealanders as 'Palmy' in a mildly disparaging way, is a surprising inland city. One striking thing is that nearly every street is tree-lined, with a range of beautiful mature trees. (Would be nice if more of them were native species though). This is because the local council has undergrounded all the services. Parks are great. One has an impressive miniature railway which kids love to ride (even if their parents/grandparents look a bit overscaled!) Massey University is in a beautiful setting, like a botanical garden, with many interesting buildings. I was there on a site visit as architect of the two major bridges on the soon-to-open Te Ara a Turanga 4-lane highway, SH3, which reconnects Palmerston North with Wairarapa/Hawkes Bay, after the old highway through the Manawatu Gorge had to be abandoned in 2017. The bridges and the shared walking/cycling path over the Tararuas is sure to become another tourist attraction in itself.

    Palmerston North has no night life.

    Palmerston North has no night life. Climate is windy and cold but can get some nice autumn weather . Has some street beggers who can be threatening. The malls have great shopping but are spoiled by nasty youth gangs who want to beat you up if you don't have smokes for them. The Square is nice but again ruined by teenage thugs and boy racers. Stay away from The Square after sunset. Great art gallery.

    Still nice shopping in the Mall and surrounding streets.

    Still nice shopping in the Mall and surrounding streets. Love KMart being open until midnight. Some empty shops, but that is everywhere at present. Square still looking nice with gardens, mature trees, nice grass areas. Good restaurants, lots of variety. But they need to keep their prices as they are or face going bankrupt. They cannot just keep putting up meal prices. People just won't go out. The Rose & Crown are a good restaurant and bar. They've kept their prices fair. The steak house (name not given but they specialise in steaks in the square) with the best steaks is just too expesive for ordinary people to eat there. Wonder if they'll last much longer... Other bars and eateries are all pretty good. Usually go for a walk along the riverside which is always nice. Didn't have time on this visit. Enjoyed the visit overall.

    I was there to catch up with family and we spent a lot of our time at the Esplanade, as the weather was great and we could participate in the activities and walk around the gardens etc. Cafe was great, mini golf and train etc.

    We had a wonderful stay here. I was driving and got stuck in traffic, so we didn’t arrive until 11:40 pm. The receptionist kindly waited for us and reassured me not to worry, which made me feel really welcomed. We were traveling with our dog, and this pet-friendly hotel arranged a very clean and comfortable room for us. I also really loved the scent of the hand wash they provided. Next time we come to Palmerston North, we’ll definitely stay here again!

    Hand location to CBD, hospitals, restaurants, cafes, shops. Had little kitchenette with microwave, fridge, jug and toaster. Very clean. Bed and pillows very comfortable. Good pressure in walk in shower. Room compendium had good information about places to eat and how close they were. Free wifi. Extremely quiet, which we loved. Would stay here again should the need ever arise and will recommend to family and friends.

    My partner and I were attending a festival in Palmerston North and weren't able to check in until later in the evening as our room wasn't going to be ready which wasn't an issue, but the staff were super lovely and actually had our room ready by the time we got there! the place was very tidy and the staff were very welcoming. Would defiantly stay again and recommend to family and friends.
