Latest Wanganui hotel reviews
salisbury3933 Says: The riverboat cruise is apparently well worth doing, but it pays to book, as we found out when the cruise was booked out, with no room for us. There's always next time, I suppose.
salisbury3933 Says: The tower on Durie Hill gives excellent scenic views of the Wanganui area. You can get the elevator up the hill, but you'll need to climb the 100 feet or so of the tower.
salisbury3933 Says: This museum, in Queens Park near the Sarjeant gallery is an outstanding museum, with much on the history of the area, both of the local Maori, and also the settlers that came to the region.Of particular interest are the paintings by Gottfried Lindauer, as well as some...
salisbury3933 Says: This Gallery in Queens Park in Wanganui is one of the better regional art museums you will see, with some excellent exhibitions. A must see if you are in Wanganui.

Boxing Day Motorbike Street Racing
jono84 Says: Every Boxing Day, the streets of Wanganui are awash with motorbike fans from across NZ and abroad. This is when the roads are shut off for the day, on Taupo Quay and other neighbouring roads, and you can hear the screaming of engines as far as the outer reaches of the...
jono84 Says: Cooks Gardens is the base for Wanganui Rugby Club, and also has the velodrome next door which plays host to many world cycling track events. Unfortunately however, Wanganui do not give you the free-flowing, free-scoring rugby that you may have been expecting having seen the...
jono84 Says: The Opera House stands as a bit of a relic in Wanganui, but from the outside you wouldnt believe just how old it is! (Early 20th Century so im told). Its been kept in very good nick, and regularly stages large events and packed crowds in its fragile main hall. Ive already...

salisbury3933 Says: We stopped in here for dinner as it was a short walk from our hotel, and we were not disappointed with the quality or the price.The mains were all around $10-15 with good volume, and including drinks we ended up paying NZ $56 all up. It was cheap, but also good quality.

"Slippery Saddle": The "Slippery Saddle"
jobaby Says: The "Slippery saddle" in Wanganui is probably one of the best renowned nightclubs, especially on a Friday and Saturday night. This club caters for all ages from the age of legal drinkers to the oldies........it appears that if you are 30 or over, you are an oldie....lol.The...
jobaby Says: An Urupa is the Maori name for a cemetary and on your visit, you may go for a walk around one.You may notice that there are bottles of water at the entrance or just inside the gate. These are not there for you to drink but are there for a purpose.When you leave, please use...
jobaby Says: If you have the chance to visit a Maori marae (pronounced ma-rye and is a meeting place), protocol expects you to remove your shoes before entering the house. This is so that you pay respect to the tipuna (the deceased ancestors) and that you dont carry bad omens in.Please...
jobaby Says: If you are cruising past Wanganui with your boat and want to test the waters out, then please get advice on crossing the Wanganui Rivermouth bar. This can be treacherous at times and you and your boat may end up getting gobbled up if you dont do the right approach. Better...

John96nz Says: The Flying Fox - boutique luxury getaway within an hour of civilisation.

We spent an enjoyable 24 hours in Wanganui, enjoying what the city has to offer. It's a pleasant place to visit, with enough attractions to keep the visitor busy for a day or two.
