What Guests Said About Whanganui:
- 10Scored 10
Whanganui is a great place to visit.
Whanganui is a great place to visit. Friendly, great vibe, lots to see and do and not very expensive. I have never had a bad coffee there! Saturday market by the river is a must, as are the parks and gardens, a trip on the Waimarie, the tunnel and elevator, arts trail, beaches, bike trails, museum and restaurants. Heritage Weekend and Christmas Boxing Day are REALLY busy with a ton of stuff on. The Boatshed in Aramoho was our favourite restaurant this trip. Only negative in Whanganui is the AWFUL driving - and we are from Auckland!Tania50New Zealand - 8.0Scored 8.0

The history of the city is clearly evident in the retention of a lot of charming century old buildings which have been carefully maintained on the outside with appropriate interior upgrades. A ride on the river steamboat and a unique in-ground lift which takes you from near sea level to the top of a hill suburb are other attractions.

Whanganui has a wealth of history.
Whanganui has a wealth of history. Like many modern day cities/towns around NZ, Whanganui had its hey day at the turn of the 1900s, and as the river became less important for transport and access, the local economy went into decline. However, many aspects of this affluent past have been preserved. Highlights for us included the trip aboard the paddle Steamer (1912 restored) Waimarie, taking the elevator to the top of Durie Hill and climbing the 176 steps to the top of the town's WW1 memorial. Walking around Majestic Square and the modernist War Memorial Hall, made us feel transported to Brasilia, as this style of architecture was lauded by Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer. We attended The Whanganui Opera House's Repertory Theatre production of Titanic Letters which was a lovely finale to our stay here.GianlucaNew Zealand - 10Scored 10

Great area, near beach and a nice little holiday park with good amenities. Swimming pool close to kitchen, BBQ and covered area with tables, fab for families. Our small accommodation looked like a playhouse from the outside with a veranda to sit on, but provided tv, shower, toilet, kitchenette and double bed. Fine for the 1 night we stayed.

Our church group members went to Whanganui, some stayed at Coachmans Lodge Motel and some stayed at Burwood Motel. We did not really going around Whanganui as we were there for an event for our church and we had our lunch and dinner at the church hall. We find it very easy to get around Whanganui and we will visit other places next time we go there. We really enjoyed our trip.JokapetiNew Zealand - 8.0Scored 8.0

Whanganui is one of the most pleasing towns in New Zealand: visually and culturally. The Quartz ceramics museum is the real jewel in the crown of the town. Rick Rudd the creator has produced a world-class showcase collection of the best in this, the oldest of human art forms.

- From $107.96 per night9.4Scored 9.4WonderfulRated wonderful· 77 reviewsOur stay at Shuringi was simply delightful! Andrew and Penny were the perfect hosts, warmly welcoming us and providing us with an enjoyable and memorable experience. We had originally planned to explore Whanganui during our stay, but were so taken by the stunning views from the property and the delightful company of our hosts, that we ended up spending most of our time at the property. It was an experience that far exceeded our expectations!
LeonieAustralia - From $116.35 per night8.9Scored 8.9ExcellentRated excellent· 1,076 reviewsEasily the best appointed motel we have ever stayed in. The Reception building and Rooms were all very nicely decorated and the rooms themselves felt like something from a decent hotel - Living room area, large tv with group Netflix access, very nice bed, decent size kitchen area with breakfast bar sitting area and good bathroom. Very nicely decorated - you wouldn't know you were in a motel unless you opened the door.
Damo2876Australia - From $65.97 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very GoodRated very good· 497 reviewsThe booking was last minute so I was surprised they had any cabins still available, especially as it was Wellington Anniversary weekend as well as Whanganui Vintage weekend. They are so accommodation here it was fantastic, so much so we are already looking to book in again but for a longer stay this time. With the beach just round the corner and a great cafe/resturant up the road it was the ideal location.
PaulNew Zealand - From $50.98 per night8.6Scored 8.6ExcellentRated excellent· 513 reviewsWe stayed here because we had never been to Whanganui before so made it a stop over on way to New Plymouth. We researched the accommodation and Braemer came up the right fit for us. Absolutely so happy we did, lovely home and garden with chooks free ranging, and the hosts Alice and Calvyn made us so welcome. We are definitely coming back and we can't rate this place highly enough.JennetteNew Zealand
