Whanganui is a great place to visit.
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.
The room and the bathroom were large and spacious. The beds were surprisingly comfortable. 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.
This was the best holiday park we’ve stayed it. The cabin was nice and clean and bigger than we expected. It is located very close to a large playground and the beach. Check in was easy. We called ahead because we were later than expected due to the ferry problems, our key was left in the cabin for us in case we arrived after 7.30pm. We would definitely stay here again.
We had just received some family news that was not good and the management was so very supportive. When we had to change plans they were most helpful and caring. The facilities are modern and the units have everything needed. Even though the complex is close to Whanganui's main Road it is quiet, A most pleasant place to stay
Was our first time in Whanganui and we enjoyed our stay! Very Clean , Tidy warm and comfortable room , Spa Bath was great!, shower had amazing pressure! Staff were lovely and helpful. Looks like we chose the best accommodation option in Whanganui would recommend this place to our family and friends , was also very affordable.
The room was spacious and easy to accommodate everyone when we all gathered in one room. The bed was very comfortable and the room was very clean. Also liked the laundry facilities available for guests. The motel is laid out in such a way that you don't hear noises from other rooms.
Very well located in the centre of Whanganui. A very pleasant room, with lots of space. Bathroom was fine. Restaurant (dinner) very good value for cost and food excellent. Breakfast was adequate. Overall good value for the cost and great to see an old hotel rejuvenated
The location is just perfect. Close to Victoria Street with cafes, restaurants and shops. We did not have breakfast at the hotel but the bakery is just around the corner and they serve really good breakfast. The bonus is the Irish Pub on the ground floor of the hotel.
Never had breakfast but for the price I would stay there everytime I visit whanganui
Awesome customer service, the hotelier was very pleasant I thought even when we had to wake him up early so we could pay for our room.10/10👍👍👍
Wonderful location a wee way from town but very walkable. Had a wonderful walk along the Whanganui River across 2 bridges Maggie and Grant our hosts were extremely helpful in allowing me to use the washing machine and dryer
Whanganui Birch Court - Harakeke was the perfect stop and provided a warm welcome. The hosts were gracious and the accommodations were comfortable and inviting. It was an ideal place to relax and unwind during our trip.
This property is beautifully presented. It’s comfortable, homely with all mod cons. Super helpful owner with excellent information provided. Whanganui is a very special place and so is Smith House 🩷
This is a family-run business, operated by a couple who are very enthusiastic. When we made a booking mistake, they helped us switch rooms. The hotel is clean, tidy, and well-equipped!
