Lovely kiwi town. Good food, galleries and nature.
Lovely kiwi town. Good food, galleries and nature. We highly recommend the amazing Quartz Museum (NZ largest collection of NZ ceramics and also some cool international work). We stayed at the Braemar House B and B. Spotless, good value, charming building and lovely friendly owners. Even the owners chickens were friendly!

It's very easy to find your way around Whanganui, while there were a lot of cars in the city on market day, it's still nothing compared to the bigger city traffic! Great food places and had most of the usual retail shops.

We enjoyed Whanganui town, but since we were there just to attend a wedding, we didn't get to view a lot of different places. Where we stayed, he wahi pai na te mea he tata ki nga whare kai, close to eating places and supermarkets. Once we got to learn how the streets connected with each other, we could navigate better. We enjoyed Trafalgar Shopping mall, the new Farmers walk-through in town centre, and the look-out at Castlecliffe.

Whanganui is an ol'River Port town that still carries that ambience. If you were comparing ol'Paddle steamer towns with an Australia vs NZ type contest, you'd have an Ecucha Victoria or Morpeth NSW vs Whanganui match-up. Whanganui has the ol'Paddle Steamer "Waimere" still in operation & a Waimere Steamer Museum. Don't miss out on the War Memorial Tower & look-out, it's a musta, you can even get an elevator there. All the shops are here for the gals & of course the wife bought a new dress for the Whanganui Races. We spent 2 nights @ the Riverview Motel in a self contained Garden Unit, serenity abounds at this establishment, it's old but still gold.

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.

- From £46.01 per night5.6Scored 5.6Above averageRated okay· 1,147 reviewsWe were delighted by the character of the hotel, and the displays of items of historical interest. The thoughtful addition of a 'coffee-table book' on the city of Whanganui in the room was welcomed - I read it while having a cup of tea, and learned a lot about the city and was able to work out which tourist attractions I would like to go to. The room was large, as was the bathroom. I felt like I was getting a luxury stay at a reasonable cost. We also enjoyed our dinner at the Irish pub downstairs.CoralieNew Zealand
- From £53.27 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very GoodRated very good· 499 reviewsIt was absolutely lovely to spend a night at the Whanganui Seaside Holiday Park. The small cabine and its tiny but private bathroom was extremely cozy and warm for us: my partner, our puppy, me and the baby to be. Cabine and common area were spotless cleaned, and the bedsheets were smelling just great! On top of it all, the friendly staff made our staying even more fortunate. We’ll definitely be back:)DeiseBrazil

Overall was good.
sarah-anneNew Zealand - 9.4Scored 9.4WonderfulRated wonderful· 45 reviewsVery clean and spacious with parking available. A quiet unit. About a 20-25 minute walk into the town center but a pleasant one. We had originally planned to arrive late and the host was happy to meet us then. The unit is suited for a long or short term stay. We appreciated the washing machine, for example, not usually found in a regular motel.
