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!

    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.

    Loved Whanganui - wonderful galleries, Saturday market, cafes with excellent coffee, locally owned independent shops, friendly locals and so much history. Great river walkway/cycle path. Lots to see and do in Whanganui and local region.

    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.

    Whanganui is a beautiful place.

    Whanganui is a beautiful place. People who like the outdoors and nature would love to go to Whanganui. The botanical garden is amazing. What I did not like in Whanganui was all the beggars in the streets. There were many of them, asking for money.

    Maryann is a fabulous host, I cannot recommend Gumnut House too highly! It is beautiful, high quality relaxed accomodation 15 minutes walk along the river to the centre of the lovely city of Whanganui. Easy parking, pleasant veranda to sit out on in the evening, comfortable large lounge and dining area at our disposal. Aircon is really quiet. Great bathroom with separate bath and shower.

    Beautiful location next to the Whanganui River on the very edge of the city. Great to be up among the birds and watch the canoeists go by. Fantastic conversion of the former signal box into accommodation and very nicely done. Well appointed, loved the bedding and ingenious the way everything needed has been fitted into the space.

    The location suited our own personal needs for travelling by car in Whanganui, but generally too far to walk to facilities like cafes, restaurants, etc. Parking good. An older style of timber construction, but room very comfortable. Had spare bedroom we didn't use. Small practical kitchenette.

    Handy to Whanganui, you could walk into town in about 10 mins probably. We loved the window seats in the bedroom - a lovely place to read in the sun. And the living room was spacious and comfortable, and full of books.
