FAQs about hotels in Whanganui
What Guests Said About Whanganui:

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!Tania50New Zealand - 8.0Scored 8.0

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.GianlucaNew Zealand - 10Scored 10

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.JokapetiNew Zealand - 8.0Scored 8.0

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.

- 9.2Scored 9.2WonderfulRated wonderful· 52 reviewsWe 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.BruceNew Zealand

The room was quite large with a kitchenette, living room that had a dining table four chairs, two single beds. There was a separate bedroom with a queen bed. Nice touch with mints and a welcome on the table. Parking right outside. The motel is in a good location as easy to get in and out and drive to town easily. Pet friendly made this a great choice for us.YvonneNew Zealand

We researched the accommodation and Braemer came up the right fit for us. Absolutely so happy we did, lovely home and garden with chooks free ranging, and the hosts Alice and Calvyn made us so welcome.
