Location was on a busy road but once we were in the room you barely noticed it. Some improvements/renovation was ongoing so slightly in a building site but nothing too onerous. Room was really comfortable and well equipped. Swimming pool was a bit tired but was ok for a dip in the sun.

We were told on arrival that they were fully booked and the manager didn’t know how we were allowed to book the stay through Booking.com, we are so glad and grateful that the manager was able to shuffle some other guests around so we could have a room

Beautiful, quiet location with friendly hosts and a generous breakfast. The guest house is behind the host's house at enough distance that you have privacy. The spa tub was a nice bonus.

Very beautiful house. We could use the kitchen, dining room, living room, terrace, garden. The fridge is filled with everything you need for breakfast. And we could make our own breakfast whenever and whatever we wanted. The host is very friendly. Very relaxed and peaceful atmosphere.

The 2 bedroom deluxe and garden studio were nice and spotless. There was a small fridge and a full size stove and oven in the 2brm with a modern bathroom. The shower was an older style in the studio. Location was fantastic by the river. Highly recommend.

Water has no strong smell of Chlorine which is very good. Spacy room and it is just the corner of my son's boarding school. Right on the main street of the town. Supermarkets are just next door and across the street.

The lady at the reception is so kind to give us the room overseeing the Rotorua River. Bed is comfortable. The heater helped us to better cope with the cold evening. A lot of parking space.

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.

We were quite surprised that the town was looking so deserted compared to just couple of years ago when we last visited. Many of the shops on the main street (and just about all the ones on the side streets) were unoccupied and boarded up. Having only stayed one night, we didn't have much time to do more than walk up and down the main street to see the shops, but the town has quite a run down feel to it. The activities run by the Forgotten World Motel were mostly not operating at this time of the year (September). If you plan to do the adventure activities offered by the Motel, then visit from mid-October onwards when they are fully operating.

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.

My connections with Taumarunui are mostly through the Tiger Moth Club which was formed there in 1969 and returns every October to the best grass aerodrome in New Zealand. We always get a great welcome from the townspeople - and the weather is (usually) ideal for open-cockpit vintage biplanes.

went on the forgotten highway rail trail adventure trip, which was awesome, all their staff are great, a fascinating trip. Taumaranui itself is a bit grotty, but have a great Thai restaurant and good golf course.
