The rooms were clean and very comfortable. Everything we needed was there and the staff were incredibly friendly and personable. When we arrived the owner was incredibly welcoming and told us places to visit, things to do and where to eat dinner. She was an exceptional host. Would definitely stay again!

Water has no strong smell of Chlorine which is very good. Spacy room and it is just the corner of my son's boarding school. Right on the main street of the town. Supermarkets are just next door and across the street.

So much to see. The architecture is beautiful.
So much to see. The architecture is beautiful. Old buildings lovingly painted in pastel colours , a superb playground for the children , a paddle steamer riverboat which cruises the Whanganui river . A very pretty city with lots to enjoy. Great art shops and the best farmers markets ever . Fab restaurants to name a few The Rutland Arms , and the Castlecliff cafe/restaurant “The Citadel”.

We were quite surprised that the town was looking so deserted compared to just couple of years ago when we last visited. Many of the shops on the main street (and just about all the ones on the side streets) were unoccupied and boarded up.
Having only stayed one night, we didn't have much time to do more than walk up and down the main street to see the shops, but the town has quite a run down feel to it.
The activities run by the Forgotten World Motel were mostly not operating at this time of the year (September). If you plan to do the adventure activities offered by the Motel, then visit from mid-October onwards when they are fully operating.

I love Whanganui and have always enjoyed my time there — I have family in the area.
Momiji was a lovely place to go for dinner, and Caroline’s Boatshed is always a favourite for a meal.
The Saturday market is also a great place to visit and never disappoints.

My connections with Taumarunui are mostly through the Tiger Moth Club which was formed there in 1969 and returns every October to the best grass aerodrome in New Zealand. We always get a great welcome from the townspeople - and the weather is (usually) ideal for open-cockpit vintage biplanes.

Beautiful river city.
Beautiful river city. You can bike safely along designated roads or try the mountain bike parks.
You can surf at the local beach.
Gardens are magic, and the town bustles.
Fab cafes all over.
Brilliant arts centre, local artists everywhere, and the Sarjeant Art Gallery is sublime.
Try the Riverside Markets
Kowhai Park also, is a fantastic spot for young and old, to play and picnic.
Easy to get around the city.

went on the forgotten highway rail trail adventure trip, which was awesome, all their staff are great, a fascinating trip.
Taumaranui itself is a bit grotty, but have a great Thai restaurant and good golf course.
