Whanganui, New Zealand, is a place steeped in history, art and culture. Big enough to draw crowds and small enough to be intimate. There is something here for everyone! We are surrounded by mountains, Mount Taranaki, Mount Ruapehu and Mount Tongariro, a beautiful natural landscape, dramatic west coast beaches and unspoiled native bush for tramping and wilderness trips. Our vibrant community prides itself on its parks and reserves, cycle and walk ways and an abundance of creativity. Don’t be surprised to find an immediate sense of connection, an unexpected little slice of heaven, and real New Zealand authenticity. Enjoy our manaakitanga – our legendary hospitality. We look forward to welcoming you to our part of the world. Visit our website www.visitwhanganui.nz for accommodation, things to do in Whanganui, events, places to stay, attractions and bookings!.
