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 a bit of a hidden gem!
Whanganui is a bit of a hidden gem! Excellent dining spots and cafe's. If you are an art lover then it is the place for you. Lots of Galleries and local art collectives to meander through. The river walk is a great stroll and older buildings to admire.RexNew Zealand - 10Scored 10
Easy access to the main shopping area.
Easy access to the main shopping area. It was a public holiday so few places were open. So didn’t experience all what was on offer. Also there is 15% surcharge on top of what you buy when using your credit card ! Pay by cash ! Lovely walk along the river. I-site is an information centre which is really helpful. Travel up on the oldest elevator on Druie Hill amazing views

Whanganui is not a place we have spent any time at.
Whanganui is not a place we have spent any time at. As one of NZ’s few riverside cities, we enjoyed the differences that such locations offer. Whanganui has a rich history both Maori and Pakeha which we enjoyed learning sbout

- From $88.78 per night9.3Scored 9.3WonderfulRated wonderful· 38 reviewsA great place, very peaceful. The grounds are beautiful. The unit is immaculately kept, very comfortable, and the hospitality was great. Home baked goodies, freshly squeezed orange juice from the orchard, and very generous hosts. Plus, a really gorgeous part of the country which is truly worth visiting! Although this site says there's no Wifi, in actual fact, there is. It can be a bit intermittent at times, but it's a small price to pay for the beauty of this location on the Whanganui River.LucienneNew Zealand
- From $56 per night8.3Scored 8.3Very GoodRated very good· 36 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

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. Stacy was warm and friendly and provided a few fruits from her organic garden. Would highly recommend.
