I had a great stay at The Avenue. The receptionist was very friendly, made me feel welcome, and handled my additional requests perfectly. The room was modern, stylish, and I really liked it.

The property was ok, the owner is still fixing it up from old owners. But cannot complain about the customer service. They were amazing and really went out of their way to make sure everything was sorted. For the price that we paid and the service will definitely stay there again.

    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.

    Whanganui is warm.

    Whanganui is warm. The city centre is flat for older folk to walk around as is the interesting cemetary at Aramoho. There are the beach, the river, parks and gardens. Also the museum, art gallery and shops from several op shops through to a huge The Warehouse.

    Whanganui is a beautiful place.

    Whanganui is a beautiful place. People who like the outdoors and nature would love to go to Whanganui. The botanical garden is amazing. What I did not like in Whanganui was all the beggars in the streets. There were many of them, asking for money.

    The best place to stay in Whanganui! Super accommodating hosts who have thought of absolutely everything you'd need for a wonderful stay. The space is lovely with an amazing garden and the service from Stacy was phenomenal. We requested another bed to be set up in the spacious lounge and there was still plenty of room. Excellent coffee and granola available for breakfast at your leisure. Cannot recommend highly enough!

    It was absolutely lovely to spend a night at the Whanganui Seaside Holiday Park. The small cabine and its tiny but private bathroom was extremely cozy and warm for us: my partner, our puppy, me and the baby to be. Cabine and common area were spotless cleaned, and the bedsheets were smelling just great! On top of it all, the friendly staff made our staying even more fortunate. We’ll definitely be back:)

    I liked the flexibility of check in and prompt communications with staff. Loved that there was a spa at even though it wasn't working. Having option of electric blanket and heater in each room was great. Having parking was also great and plunger coffee option was a bonus too. On arrival our host was very friendly and helpful. A great start to our break in Whanganui.

    Lovely hotel. Staff were great nothing was too much trouble. We had a problem with our car and a flat battery. A lovely young man who worked in the hotel came to our assistance and was able to get the car started. Thank you so much. We loved Whanganui wished we could have stayed longer.
