Peaceful location surrounded by the host’s beautiful garden, serenaded by bellbirds as we relaxed in the private spa. Very nice continental breakfast. Attention to detail, even providing charger cables for iOS and android phones. Easy drive or pleasant walk down to the river market (would be a fittening walk back up the hill!). The hosts were friendly and generous with their help and advice. Loved this place. Excellent value.

It was worth staying here, very nice rooms. If you love classic but still modern, this is the place to be and sleep. Nice shower good beds (mattress was not too hard not to soft just perfect) I did love the classic lounge that was taking care off nice and tidy. You can have a nice walk outside. There are some funny (jersey) cows. Nice host very friendly

Sarjeant Gallery and café are well worth a visit.

Sarjeant Gallery and café are well worth a visit. The café salads were delicious & different and very well priced. Have recommended to others since then. Durie Hill elevator also a worthwhile & fun activity.

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”.

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.

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.

A bit off the normal tourist track - but well worth the stop over. Great coffee and toasties at Franks restaurant. Lovely Main Street to look at the shops. A large variety of antique shops. The river is very nice to walk along as well.

The Whanganui Museum and the Sergeant Gallery are both worthy of extended visits, they are a highlight for any visitor to the area. The small arts and crafts galleries are interesting and innovative; some very fine and quirky cafes enrich the experience - for any visitor, Whanganui is now one of the most satisfying cultural locations in NZ.

This property is very clean. All amenities were in the unit for us. Washer/Dryer/Airfyer The kitchen had everything you will need for a short or long stay. The beds we're comfortable. The bathroom was well stocked with bathroom supplies. The unit had a lovely smell to it. Clean and crisp. Good location. Great hosts. Very friendly. We Will definitely stay at Birch court Tui, next time we are staying in Whanganui. Pity it took us so long to find this place.

Sitting high on the hill gave us great views over the suburb and out to sea. Easy to get into Whanganui and very close to Virginia Lake which was a lovely walk. House had everything we could have wanted - would recommend to any one wanting to stay at Whanganui but not in the centre
