    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.

    I like this old heritage town.

    I like this old heritage town. It has some lovely parks and grand old buildings. Walking by the river is pleasant and Bushy Park is an enjoyable visit. I enjoyed breakfast at the Orange cafe in town. I wish I had more time to explore further afield. Hoping to come back and enjoy the mountain to sea cycle trail.

    Maryann is a fabulous host, I cannot recommend Gumnut House too highly! It is beautiful, high quality relaxed accomodation 15 minutes walk along the river to the centre of the lovely city of Whanganui. Easy parking, pleasant veranda to sit out on in the evening, comfortable large lounge and dining area at our disposal. Aircon is really quiet. Great bathroom with separate bath and shower.

    Spacious house across the river from the town but most central f or most of Whanganuis activities. Great upstairs bedroom and bathroom. Kitchen excellent but larder needs sorting.. Spacious and comfortable for just 2 of us. Laundry facilities good. Parking on the street below the steps easy.. Great views over the river.

    From the room, bed, spa bath, kitchen, lounge area to the location, everything met my expectations. We arrived in the afternoon; the receptionist was very kind and welcoming. When we entered the room, it was nice and warm. Great way to start our first time in Whanganui.
