Graeme was there to meet us and was friendly and helpful with a vast knowledge of the area and history around Whanganui. Loved the art and photos and all the interesting books. Comfy beds, well equipped with tea and coffee and extras like lollies and biscuits. Beautiful surroundings with old established trees with Tuis and Fantails. Gorgeous!

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.

Whanganui has a wealth of history.
Whanganui has a wealth of history. Like many modern day cities/towns around NZ, Whanganui had its hey day at the turn of the 1900s, and as the river became less important for transport and access, the local economy went into decline. However, many aspects of this affluent past have been preserved. Highlights for us included the trip aboard the paddle Steamer (1912 restored) Waimarie, taking the elevator to the top of Durie Hill and climbing the 176 steps to the top of the town's WW1 memorial. Walking around Majestic Square and the modernist War Memorial Hall, made us feel transported to Brasilia, as this style of architecture was lauded by Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer. We attended The Whanganui Opera House's Repertory Theatre production of Titanic Letters which was a lovely finale to our stay here.

Great area, near beach and a nice little holiday park with good amenities. Swimming pool close to kitchen, BBQ and covered area with tables, fab for families. Our small accommodation looked like a playhouse from the outside with a veranda to sit on, but provided tv, shower, toilet, kitchenette and double bed. Fine for the 1 night we stayed.

Our church group members went to Whanganui, some stayed at Coachmans Lodge Motel and some stayed at Burwood Motel. We did not really going around Whanganui as we were there for an event for our church and we had our lunch and dinner at the church hall. We find it very easy to get around Whanganui and we will visit other places next time we go there. We really enjoyed our trip.

- From £52.42 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very goodRated very good· 494 reviewsThe booking was last minute so I was surprised they had any cabins still available, especially as it was Wellington Anniversary weekend as well as Whanganui Vintage weekend. 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.

The spa bath was easy to use and comfortable to sit in. The kitchen had everything we needed. The lounge area had two comfortable chairs, one was a recliner. even though we were booked for several days the rooms were serviced every day. The laundry was clean, reasonably cheap and both machines were industrial-size.SStephAustralia

It's a lovely space, just wish it was done up a little. I got what I paid for though, it was cheap especially for a last minute hotel. A weird thing I liked was being able to control the lighting from bed with light switches connected to the bedside table.AAnonymous
