Whanganui National Park Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Kia Ora tour March/April 2017 in New Zealand. Hike to the "Bridge to Nowhere"
So beautiful!
A magical spot in Whanganui National Park. So much history and stories to be told.
The Bridge-to-Nowhere is one of 3 sister bridges (the others are the Bridge-to-Somewhere and the Bridge-to-Elsewhere). We went to see it with the Bridge to nowhere tour guides. Absolutely brilliant! We chose to stay overnight in the lodge and could have stayed there forever

Room was small but enough space for a couple of nights. Staff was really concern about cleaning. Kitchen has enough kitchenware to make a decent meal, in the night usually very busy.
