Where is Whanganui New Zealand? Map of Whanganui
Whanganui (formerly spelled Wanganui) was once the fifth largest city in New Zealand, and today it still has the dreamy historic buildings, world-class museums and established gardens developed over a century ago.


This built beauty perfectly complements the natural landscape of the city. Look in any direction and you’ll see a wide river, black or green sand beaches and rolling hills overlooking Mt Taranaki and Mt Ruapehu on the horizon.
