We hold 77 venues in Whanganui — 56 places to eat and 21 to stay. That makes it the 2nd-largest of the 86 towns and suburbs we cover in Manawatū-Whanganui, carrying 12% of the region's venues.

Of the places to eat, 25% are cafés against a national figure of 28%. That is close to the New Zealand norm — Whanganui eats roughly the way the country does. The full split is 14 cafés, 18 restaurants, 20 takeaways, 1 bars and 3 pubs.

25 of the 56 eating places carry a cuisine tag. The most common are burger (5), pizza (4) and thai (2). Relative to the rest of the country Whanganui is unusually strong on burger and pizza — those appear here at a higher rate than the national average.

On the practical detail: 25 publish opening hours (32%), 8 are recorded as step-free, 11 have outdoor seating and 3 flag vegetarian options. Coverage here is better than the 23% national average, so the hours below are more reliable than most.

For a bed, Whanganui runs to 21 listings — 3 hotels, 14 motels, 1 b&bs and guest houses, 2 hostels and 1 holiday parks and campgrounds. Motels dominate, at 67% of the town's accommodation.

Places of a similar size — Papakura (78), Paihia (76), Te Atatū South (80) and Invercargill (82) — average 23% accommodation. Whanganui runs at 27%, much the same, so on this measure it behaves like its peers.

All of this is derived from open data rather than collected from listings sites: OpenStreetMap for the venues, public registers for verification. 8 of the 77 venues in Whanganui carry at least six recorded attributes and so have a page of their own; the rest are listed here, because a page with only a name and a map pin on it would be worth nobody's time. A blank field means unrecorded, not absent. Nothing here is scraped from a commercial directory, no venue has paid to appear, and we publish no ratings or reviews of our own.
