This apartment is very well placed, with multiple places to eat in the same block, and it is minutes walk from the Whanganui town centre. There is a little noise from the nearby fast food and restaurant places and the main road, but much less than you would expect with how well located it is and it didn't disturb our sleep. The kitchen/lounge is very spacious and a nice place to relax out of the elements. Make sure you use the heat pump to control the temperature as there are a lot of windows providing natural light, but also it can get a bit cool early morning in the back bedroom. We enjoyed this very convenient stay and would fully recommend it to travellers who want to be close to town.
