    Clean and tidy cabin with en suite. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Small but that's what it's described as so nothing unexpected. We didn't use any facilities as we're only there a night and were out until late.

Company info

The only place in Wanganui where you can hire a kayak and get out on the mighty Whanganui River. Whanganui is also the only town where an original paddle steamer riverboat will take you on a trip up river to learn about the history of our wonderful region.

Property info

The only holiday park with direct access to the Whanganui River. Family friendly with loads for the children and adults to do. Take a dip in the heated pool (seasonal), bounce on the jumping pillow or hire a kayak and explore the river.

Neighborhood info

Whanganui has a rich and plentiful history. One of the oldest settled towns in New Zealand, we have some of the most amazing architecture from Victorian and Edwardian days, plus tons of local maori history from the iwi of the Whanganui River.
