Great location right downtown in the heart of it all. Great Onsite Irish pub. This hotel may be old but it’s full of so much character, charm and history! I even had a view of Mount Ruapehu from my room with a balcony.

Serenity will be found at this relaxing accommodation. The landscaping and natural beauty encompassing the setting, the private and comfortable flat at the back of the property, the affable and knowledgeable host Tony, and his wife Jill working behind-the-scenes in perfecting the stay—all combine to rank this a 10+ experience. It is a pleasant walk into town from here – ask Tony for his spot-on recommendations for area attractions. Be sure to visit the understated Whanganui Regional Museum! Bring and exchange a book in the room’s collection. Leave the windows open to hear the birds. Enjoy the swimming pool.

This is absolutely one of the best lodgings we stayed at in New Zealand! The host, Julie, is absolutely warm, helpful and friendly. She stated that the lodge is 'her baby' and it shows. The bed is one of the most comfortable beds we've ever had and the room was furnished with such care and class.

The signal box was everything we had hoped for and better. Peaceful and well appointed. Overlooking gardens and the River Whanganui. Chickens and ducks roam the garden. A lot of thought had gone into furnishing this place. I wish we had booked longer here.

    We went to a roast place for dinner on Saturday night, got a large and shared it, it was ample for the two of us. We were for a Dog Agility event so did not do any sightseeing, but when visit I always think the place would be a great place to live.

    I really like Whanganui & have visited often.

    I really like Whanganui & have visited often. The city centre is lovely & there aren't food shops all over the place. This time I bought stuff from the supermarket to eat but I know some of the cafes are good. There should be a register of decent New Zealanders who respect motels so that they are looked after properly when they book for a visit. Some of the reviews appear to be vetted to show only good stuff. Unfortunately, the motels I know are good are usually booked out. There are now 2 in Whanganui I won't be going back to.

    I like this old heritage town.

    I like this old heritage town. It has some lovely parks and grand old buildings. Walking by the river is pleasant and Bushy Park is an enjoyable visit. I enjoyed breakfast at the Orange cafe in town. I wish I had more time to explore further afield. Hoping to come back and enjoy the mountain to sea cycle trail.

    Whanganui is warm.

    Whanganui is warm. The city centre is flat for older folk to walk around as is the interesting cemetary at Aramoho. There are the beach, the river, parks and gardens. Also the museum, art gallery and shops from several op shops through to a huge The Warehouse.

    Peace. Serenity. If you were Jamie Bennett (Colin Firth) in Love Actually, this is the kind of place that you’d go to write your book! Oodles of natural light, birds, trees, nature and the occasional passing paddle steamer on the river. Pleasant stroll to the excellent cafe at Upokongaro and close enough to Whanganui for a short drive in for supplies. Hosts were responsive to messaging but left us to our own privacy.
