Wondering what to do when
Wondering what to do when you're in Whanganui? Here are ten of my favourite activities that you can enjoy while you're in 'The River City'.
The heart of Whanganui is the Whanganui River, and it's the perfect place to start your exploration. Try renting a couple of electric bicycles and cycling past the beautiful Upokangoro bridge to Mosquito Point, the best place to swim in the river. If you don't feel like getting wet, try taking a ride on the Waimarie - New Zealand's only remaining coal powered paddle steamer.
Another iconic location in Whanganui is the Durie Hill Memorial Tower and Elevator. Take a walk through the long tunnel that leads to the elevator, ride up and then enjoy the views from the tower!
Next, spend some time in Rotokowau / Virgina Lake Reserve, where you can feed the ducks or take a look at the Winter Gardens.
If it's a Saturday when you're visiting, be sure to experience the River Traders Market where you'll find food stalls, crafts and live music every weekend. The market is also a good place to set off from on a tour of Whanganui's many murals and street art.
A little outside of town you can find the extensive Paloma Gardens or the fully predator fenced Bushy Park, depending on whether you prefer your nature wild or tamed.
Whanganui has lovely black sand beaches to visit too - try the Castlecliff Beach in the suburb of the same name, or drive a little further to Kai Iwi Beach, with its impressive sandstone cliffs.
Last up, spend an afternoon or an evening in the Drews Avenue precinct with its colourful buildings, streetside seating, gardens and cafes. Drews Avenue is also where you'll find my favourite bar in Whanganui - Porridge Watson!
