We are a 2 ½ hour drive north from New Zealand’s capital city Wellington, an hour and a half from Mount Ruapehu and Mount Tongariro or an hour flight from Auckland. Most of the city lies on the northwestern bank of the historically significant Te Awa o Whanganui – the Whanganui River. The longest navigable river in New Zealand and once known as the Rhine of New Zealand, the Whanganui River has shaped the history of the city and its people.Plan Your StayIn WhanganuiHunting FishingWhanganui is one of the oldest cities in New Zealand and is rich in heritage, arts, and culture.Click To Tweet Whanganui and Wanganui You may notice two different spellings of Whanganui , or Wanganui . Since the mid-1800s there have been two different spellings in use for the name of our area. The different spellings arose from the way in which local iwi pronounce the word Whanganui (the wh creating a barely aspirated sound), and the way in which European settlers wrote down the word as they heard it Wanganui .More recently, the name of our district was deemed by the Government to be Whanganui .
