Whanganui is a super trendy, coastal town of around 50,000 people built on the banks of the Whanganui river.  As one of New Zealand’s oldest settlements, it has a rich history, a vibrant arts and music scene, excellent schools, and it’s a great base from which to enjoy outdoor and recreation facilities   It is also spoilt with a great micro-climate that makes for a very pleasant mild climate through the year.
