The Avenue Hotel is located on Whanganui`s main central city road, only a 10-minute walk from the CBD with plenty of offstreet parking. The Avenue Hotel has gone through a significant refit and redecoration of the rooms in the hotel block over the past 6 months so we can offer new, renovated rooms. Over a 2 HA. area there are a lot of accommodations options from Family units, an Apartment, and new air conditioning units with parking outside of the rooms. The Avenue Hotel is well-placed to accommodate and cater to families, corporate groups, or everyday travelers. Unlimited Wi-Fi is provided. The Avenue is within easy reach of the Whanganui River and Virgina Lake with the national and city cycleway just around the corner. The town's arts and culture center and sports venues are close by as well. The Avenue Hotel has an outdoor seasonal inground swimming pool (not heated) with pretty gardens to relax in. Our restaurant and bar are currently closed for building works and renovations; however we are in a prime location with convenient access to supermarkets, takeaway outlets, restaurants, and cafes. The closest café for breakfast is approx. 328 ft from our hotel. We look forward to reopening our renovated restaurant and bar in the future
