Evelyn

Even in the rain it was perfect for our stay. The kitchen was well equipped to allow us to make a pasta dinner complete with garlic bread and a breakfast of French toast using the fresh farm eggs and milk along with the orange juice supplied that tasted like fresh squeezed. So delicious!
We really appreciated that there was also a washer plus dryer to refresh our limited clothing supply!
The house was spacious and comfortable. In nicer weather we would have enjoyed sitting out on the deck for our meals. It was close to the city but also was rural so very peaceful and private. Definitely an incredible bargain in today’s market. Thank you!!

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.chrisNew Zealand - 10Scored 10

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 $56.13 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very GoodRated very good· 39 reviewsThis is truly character villa and Debby has done a splendid job to preserve the character and experience of living in a villa from a different era. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would certainly stay here again the next time Im in Whanganui. The self check-in technology Debby is using makes the entire experince from start to finish a breeze - no hassles at all looking for keys in lock boxes or hoping someone is home to let me in.MalcolmNew Zealand
- From $65.21 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very GoodRated very good· 495 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

The small cabine and its tiny but private bathroom was extremely cozy and warm for us: my partner, our puppy, me and the baby to be. Cabine and common area were spotless cleaned, and the bedsheets were smelling just great! On top of it all, the friendly staff made our staying even more fortunate. We’ll definitely be back:)DeiseBrazil
