The daily servicing of the room was beyond what was expected. The location of the motel was quiet, comfortable and convenient.
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!

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.

Whanganui is one of the most pleasing towns in New Zealand: visually and culturally.
The Quartz ceramics museum is the real jewel in the crown of the town. Rick Rudd the creator has produced a world-class showcase collection of the best in this, the oldest of human art forms.
We 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.
Suite was sparkling clean and fresh, quality linens, comfortable bed and pillows. Beautiful, modern large bathroom with double shower. Alka provided lots of options for breakfast, including bread, cereal, milk, yogurt, tea and coffee and fruit. Dishes and cutlery for two was included. Beautiful view to private yard. Large windows with plenty of sunshine. Private access path with lights activated in the evening. Excellent property that we would highly recommend! And a wonderful host family!
The 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.
No breakfast offered as it was winter low season. We were happy to self cater using the attached hostel common area.(which by the way had comfortable sitting area with television, as did the gracious formal lounge reserved for B&B guests.)A really nice , grand and gracious old property undergoing renovations. Warm, spacious bedroom with french doors out onto balcony.
Wonderful location with large deck to peaceful view over lake towards the mountains. Only minutes from town but you're in the countryside! Clean, warm, spacious, apartment with comfy beds. Friendly, accommodating host leaving thoughtful touches like bottle of bubbly. Would definitely return here when staying in Whanganui.
Liked the atmosphere of the English style pub down below the accommodation and we enjoyed dinner in the restaurant. Also a good breakfast was part of the package. Enjoyed an overnight stay in Whanganui on a road trip between Wellington and Auckland and loved the pub!
We thoroughly enjoyed the rooms, they were very comfortable and the decor was delightful. It was a very quiet location and we were close to where we wanted to be in Whanganui. The breakfasts were delicious and there was plenty of choice.
Great decor, just loved the wood and all the framed pictures, it was a real treat to stay here, definitely a memorable experience. The room just above the street provided a nice view of Whanganui too.
Beautifully appointed and spotless. It's clear that a lot of thought has gone into its operation. Friendly welcome. Very convenient for the amenities in Whanganui but not troubled by road noise.
Fabulous B & B - very comfortable, yummy breakfasts, stunning vistas, friendly and interesting hosts and smoochy pets. I will return when next in Whanganui.
Double bed was comfy, the whole place was spacious and better kept than the photos suggested as it looked a bit tired on them, so was pleasantly surprised.
