The service at Rutland Arms Inn is exceptional. Every member of staff we encountered during our stay were warm and welcoming. The love and care taken into restoring and updating the Rutland to still reflect its heritage is evident in every detail. The room we stayed in was lovely and spacious, we found the photos actually made the rooms look smaller than they really are. The surrounding areas are beautiful too.

Braemar House was a great place to stay, with friendly staff and chickens. My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

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 bed was lovely and clean and comfy. The staircase as you enter is stunning. It's a lovely space, just wish it was done up a little. I got what I paid for though, it was cheap especially for a last minute hotel. A weird thing I liked was being able to control the lighting from bed with light switches connected to the bedside table.
The room was huge and well laid out. It was very clean and well maintained. The bed was comfortable. The property is situated next to a New World supermarket and across the road from a Pak n Save and Countdown. It is very convenient to the road in from Wellington and the road to New Plymouth. Victoria Ave is Whanganui’s main street.
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.
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.
This is a low cost hotel but the wifi worked well , the beds were comfortable and the showers functioned well.
We selected this Motel for proximity to our destination and it worked well for us.
Not a place for long term stay-due to minimal in room cooking and cleaning facilities
Everything about this property was excellent. The room was spacious with an outdoor sitting area, the bed,pillows and linen were top notch. It was in a quiet neighborhood location with a back gate to the beautiful Virginia Lake walking paths. The host was friendly and informative.
As a truck driver I am used to motel overnightings. For my holiday we chose this for our week-end in Whanganui.
This is by far the best place I have stayed. Would recommend to anybody if you are looking for a tidy and spotless place
Immaculate and large apartment right in the Centre of Whanganui. Car parked outside the door. Very quiet with lovely owners. 5 minute walk to the main street and excellent craft beer and food in the Rutland Arms
A really cool historic Mansion in a nice quiet part of town. The rooms were spacious with high ceilings. The staff was super friendly and even gave us free lemons and plums growing right on the property!
