Hotels in Manawatu-Whanganui, New Zealand

Manawatu-Whanganui is a region on New Zealand's North Island, with a temperate climate that gives you warm summers (around 25°C/77°F) perfect for cycling the 22km Manawatu River pathway, and mild winters (around 12°C/54°F) ideal for jet-boating the Whanganui River's 290km course. It's famous for its dual identities: Manawatu's flat farmlands and vibrant Palmerston North city, home to the historic 1912 clock tower, versus Whanganui's artistic hub with the 1880s courthouse and river cruises.
