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.

The square in Palmy is great. Have a good explore around.

The square in Palmy is great. Have a good explore around. If you can, go to a show at the Regent on Broadway. It is a beautiful theatre. Popeyes is now open on the way out of town, it is delicious. EB games is in one of the malls and well worth checking out if thats your sort of thing

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.

A quaint yet spacious castle hotel that was a pleasant stop for the night in Palmerston North, on our drive from Rotorua to Wellington. The staff were friendly and gave clear instructions beforehand (when we called ahead to say we would be arriving late), to facilitate easy entry to our rooms. Bathroom and shower were good, with consistent hot water. We had booked 2 rooms, 1 of which was the larger, 'tower' room for 4 people. It was very large and comfortable.

If you are driving back to Auckland from Wellington or vica versa, this is a great place to break the journey. Quest hotels are always clean, modern, comfortable, 24hr access and well equipped. The Quest Palmerston North is nice & central and easy to find after a long drive. The off street parking, washing machine & dryer, plus a kitchenette is an added bonus. Have stayed here several times. Always convenient - thanks.

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.

This motel represents very good value for money. A big space at 44 sq metres and cheaper than smaller studio units at other motels in Fitzherbert Ave. Great location - just over the road from the Botanic gardens.
