    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.

    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!

    Our experience staying at 151 was fantastic, management and staff were so helpful and accommodating. The room was clean the beds were comfortable. And the facilities were great, bonus was the Thai restaurant right next door with amazing food so we didn't have to go far. Tho shops and supermarkets just around the corner. Definitely recommend 151 as we will certainly be staying here on our next visit to Whanganui.
