Marja

It was very spacious and wonderfully accommodating to me and my dog, with a lovely grassy area for a quick doggie pee. I also loved the privacy created by the large plant boxes, and atmosphere created with fairy light, especially at night. Receiving a newspaper at my door in the morning was the cherry on the cake. I also booked an extra night to stay which was very easy.

I was amazed at the character of the city and the lovely heritage buildings, also the beauty of having a river flowing through the city and the ocean also in sight. It was my first time in Wanganui and I loved it.AAnonymousNew Zealand - 10Scored 10
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

- 9.2Scored 9.2SuperbRated superb· 49 reviewsWe have stayed here previously hence the reason for our return. A wonderful location, quiet and peaceful yet only a short drive from the city proper. The fireplace, the little things such as the slippers, snacks and drinks for sale at a very good price range, the outdoor setting and deck plus space inside for several people. The hosts are absolutely lovely as are the neighbours!! There are recommendations for things to do, pamphlets galore set out for you to peruse. If you want a home away from home then this is for you.BruceNew Zealand

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.

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.

Classic bathroom with claw foot bathtub and cubby space under the sink. Decorative touches, porch seating, and a rare screen door for front door to let the air in without the pests.
