It's very easy to find your way around Whanganui, while there were a lot of cars in the city on market day, it's still nothing compared to the bigger city traffic! Great food places and had most of the usual retail shops.

We enjoyed Whanganui town, but since we were there just to attend a wedding, we didn't get to view a lot of different places.
Where we stayed, he wahi pai na te mea he tata ki nga whare kai, close to eating places and supermarkets.
Once we got to learn how the streets connected with each other, we could navigate better.
We enjoyed Trafalgar Shopping mall, the new Farmers walk-through in town centre, and the look-out at Castlecliffe.

Whanganui is an ol'River Port town that still carries that ambience. If you were comparing ol'Paddle steamer towns with an Australia vs NZ type contest, you'd have an Ecucha Victoria or Morpeth NSW vs Whanganui match-up.
Whanganui has the ol'Paddle Steamer "Waimere" still in operation & a Waimere Steamer Museum. Don't miss out on the War Memorial Tower & look-out, it's a musta, you can even get an elevator there.
All the shops are here for the gals & of course the wife bought a new dress for the Whanganui Races. We spent 2 nights @ the Riverview Motel in a self contained Garden Unit, serenity abounds at this establishment, it's old but still gold.

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.
The Klein House is an amazing place to stay! We really enjoyed everything! Everything is super comfortable, feels really like a home away from home. Gus is baking rye sourdough bread and a lovely breakfast provision is in the fridge. Kitchen is well equipped. A choice of different teas, capsule machine, and should you be a pro even a proper espresso machine is available.
Well, we will be definitely be back! Thank you for providing such a cool space, guys!
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.
King exec suite perfect for family with seperate bedroom that can close off- great if you’ve got kids needing to go to bed earlier. Sound proof, clean, excellent shower and amazing huge spa bath. Loads of extra pillows and blankets, and portacot for baby. Felt cosy and lush. Offered milk for free on arrival, quick easy check in. Balcony with outdoor seating. Plenty of parking.
The room was very modern and very clean. Felt like a 5 star hotel. Everything you would need to feel like you were on a holiday with privacy. Rory was an excellent host who we felt genuinely cared about our stay in Whanganui. Thank you Rory. Will definitely book again at the Smith House.
Great service .excellent greeting. Room top stuff modern clean roomy it had 2 chairs where you can sit down and watch TV. Spa bath awesome. . Highly recommend Aotea Motor lodge whanganui . We travel quite bit stay in motels lodges this is one of the best 5 star rating.
There was plenty of space, the room was quite luxurious. It was nice to be able to come in from the car park at the back. Apart from some noise on Saturday night, it was incredibly quiet which is amazing for a hotel in the centre of town.
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.
Everything you could need and more! Best accom in Whanganui for groups. Great to have separate bedrooms and a proper lounge and kitchen. The garden and deck is really lovely - plus the snack bar is a massive highlight!
Wonderful accommodation! Totally loved the pool and outdoor area - definitely a resort like vibe! So much better than any motel or hotel accommodation available in Whanganui - absolutely recommend!
