The rooms were spacious, comfortable and private which made my stay perfect. The bathroom facilities were clean and well maintained. There was no breakfast at the hotel, however, the venue was central of all convenient stores along with restaurants within walking distance. The beds were comfortable too; this allowed me to get more rest in peace and feel more rejuvenated. The venue provides a pool directly outside the room which was therapeutic. Parking was conveniently outside my room and. the venue provides a laundry facility. Just like a home away from home I would recommend this beautiful haven to anyone who prefers comfort.

When you pull into the drive of the Signal Box, you'll see a house under renovation to your left. Pay no attention to that, but look straight ahead; the unit above the garages is the large, lovely room you'll have all to yourself. Enormous windows look over the bucolic property, which gently slopes down to the Whanganui River. It's really like a mini paradise and owner Renee couldn't be nicer or more helpful. Highly recommended!

This is nice home, beautifully decorated and a wonderful place to stay! Our hosts were very friendly and helpful, we enjoyed our conversations. the home was perfect for our needs and would be great for anyone traveling one night to one week or a month. They have thought of everything here and we didn’t lack for anything. So comfortable, we were immediately put at ease upon arrival and after checking in to the home. Lovely outdoor deck where we enjoyed breakfast and one of the tasty oranges from a tree in the front yard. This is a special place to stay whether traveling solo, as a couple or a family as there is plenty of room to spread out and even games for kids of all ages. The kitchen has all you could need to cook several meals and the laundry has supplies. We would stay here again given the opportunity. Thanks much for a delightful stay!

So much to see. The architecture is beautiful.

So much to see. The architecture is beautiful. Old buildings lovingly painted in pastel colours , a superb playground for the children , a paddle steamer riverboat which cruises the Whanganui river . A very pretty city with lots to enjoy. Great art shops and the best farmers markets ever . Fab restaurants to name a few The Rutland Arms , and the Castlecliff cafe/restaurant “The Citadel”.

I love Whanganui and have always enjoyed my time there — I have family in the area. Momiji was a lovely place to go for dinner, and Caroline’s Boatshed is always a favourite for a meal. The Saturday market is also a great place to visit and never disappoints.

Beautiful river city.

Beautiful river city. You can bike safely along designated roads or try the mountain bike parks. You can surf at the local beach. Gardens are magic, and the town bustles. Fab cafes all over. Brilliant arts centre, local artists everywhere, and the Sarjeant Art Gallery is sublime. Try the Riverside Markets Kowhai Park also, is a fantastic spot for young and old, to play and picnic. Easy to get around the city.

A bit off the normal tourist track - but well worth the stop over. Great coffee and toasties at Franks restaurant. Lovely Main Street to look at the shops. A large variety of antique shops. The river is very nice to walk along as well.

The Whanganui Museum and the Sergeant Gallery are both worthy of extended visits, they are a highlight for any visitor to the area. The small arts and crafts galleries are interesting and innovative; some very fine and quirky cafes enrich the experience - for any visitor, Whanganui is now one of the most satisfying cultural locations in NZ.
