A bit off the normal tourist track - but well worth the stop over. Great coffee and toasties at Franks restaurant. Lovely Main Street to look at the shops. A large variety of antique shops. The river is very nice to walk along as well.

The Whanganui Museum and the Sergeant Gallery are both worthy of extended visits, they are a highlight for any visitor to the area. The small arts and crafts galleries are interesting and innovative; some very fine and quirky cafes enrich the experience - for any visitor, Whanganui is now one of the most satisfying cultural locations in NZ.

We went to a roast place for dinner on Saturday night, got a large and shared it, it was ample for the two of us. We were for a Dog Agility event so did not do any sightseeing, but when visit I always think the place would be a great place to live.

Loved Whanganui - wonderful galleries, Saturday market, cafes with excellent coffee, locally owned independent shops, friendly locals and so much history. Great river walkway/cycle path. Lots to see and do in Whanganui and local region.

I really like Whanganui & have visited often.

I really like Whanganui & have visited often. The city centre is lovely & there aren't food shops all over the place. This time I bought stuff from the supermarket to eat but I know some of the cafes are good. There should be a register of decent New Zealanders who respect motels so that they are looked after properly when they book for a visit. Some of the reviews appear to be vetted to show only good stuff. Unfortunately, the motels I know are good are usually booked out. There are now 2 in Whanganui I won't be going back to.

The Riverside Motel has plenty of space, retro charm and a great location. The site beside the river allows for a short walk across a bridge to Whanganui’s acclaimed public play park (look out for the Moa), and a slightly longer walk along the river to the town centre restaurants. The business is for sale and we are hoping that new owners will appreciate the cool-ness of the Riverside & not contemplate too much modernising.

Always stay here when we come to Whanganui either for business or personal trips. The staff are awesome, all the rooms are excellent, and many have the added bonus of a large spa bath. It's a great location to get anywhere, lots of parking, it's clean, tidy and comfortable. Can't recommend it enough.

Great quiet, warm and very very clean house. Family of 6 adults stayed and we found it very comfortable. The heatpumps were great for a Whanganui winter and the view was outstanding! would stay again.
