It is 200 kilometres north of Wellington and 75 kilometres northwest of Palmerston North, at the junction of State Highways 3 and 4. Much of the city is on the river's northwest bank. The river is crossed by four bridges - Cobham Bridge, City Bridge, Dublin Street Bridge and Aramoho Railway Bridge (rail and pedestrians only). Close to the southeast end of the City Bridge is one of Wanganui's more unusual features, an elevator leading to a monument on the top of Durie Hill. Prominent buildings of the city include the Sarjeant Art Gallery, and the Royal Wanganui Opera House, which was built in 1901. Cook's Gardens are a major sporting venue, used for cricket, cycling, and athletics. On January 27, 1962, a world record time for running the mile was set by Peter Snell on the grass track at the gardens. A considerable proportion of Wanganui's economy relates directly to the fertile and prosperous farming area that surrounds the city. Other local industries include engineering and port facilities.

Lower Hutt (Maori: Awakairangi) is a city in the Wellington region of New Zealand. Its council has adopted the name Hutt City Council, but neither the New Zealand Geographic Board nor the Local Government Act recognise the name Hutt City. This alternative name can lead to confusion, as there are two cities in the Hutt Valley, Lower Hutt and Upper Hutt. The Upper Hutt City Council objects to the name of Hutt City. The former Hutt County included much of the area of both Upper Hutt and Lower Hutt. Lower Hutt is in the Wellington Region. It is the tenth largest city in New Zealand in population, and covers an area of 376.74 km². Geography The city centres on the lower (southern) valley of the Hutt River, to the northeast of Wellington. The valley widens as the river nears its mouth, so the central urban area of the city forms a triangle with its longest side along the shoreline. In the upper reaches of the city the Western and Eastern Hutt Hills become closer, culminating in the Taita Gorge at the northern end of Lower Hutt, separating the city from neighbouring Upper Hutt. Lower Hutt includes the cluster of small settlements that extend down the eastern coast of Wellington Harbour. These include the two large townships of Wainuiomata (inland) and Eastbourne (on the coast). The city also includes a large area of sparsely-populated land to the east of the harbour, extending to Pencarrow Head and into the Rimutaka Ranges. Lower Hutt includes the islands in Wellington Harbour, the largest of which, Matiu/Somes Island, is commonly referred to by its former name of Somes Island. Hutt River The Hutt River is one of the most significant features of the city, which occupies the lower regions of its flood plain. In the 20th century stopbanks were built to contain the river, but the threat of flooding as the result of heavy rainfall persists. In 1985 the river bursts its banks, and since then floods have been on a smaller scale. Smaller streams and storm-water drains have also caused occasional problems when rainfall persistently exceeds average levels. Much of the land adjacent to the river is protected as reserve and provides a much-appreciated recreational feature, with walking tracks and grassed areas over approximately 12 km of river bank. The central urban area of Lower Hutt (including Wainuiomata and Eastbourne) had a population of 101,500 at the June 2009 estimate.

Comercial The Old Royal Hotel building is For Sale in Thames, Coromandel Peninsula, NZ. The old Royal Hotel, Thames, is an icon of Thames' gold-mining past and stands at the gateway to the Coromandel Peninsula, one of New Zealand's most popular tourist areas. Built in 1904 to the highest standards in solid kauri, the ca. 1,000 m2 Royal Hotel building occupies a corner site in a quiet part of Thames, close to Victoria Park and the waterfront. To the delight of a supportive Council and neighbours, the building has been lovingly renovated under Architect supervision, preserving its superb character while incorporating contemporary standards. Rewired, restored and repainted, The Royal now awaits its new destiny. The Hotel features beautiful woodwork throughout and soaring ceilings. There is a sweeping porch on the ground floor, mirrored by a gracious verandah on the upper floor. A landscaped courtyard at the rear of the building offers further restful space. Resource consent has been granted for accommodation purposes. The developer's plans are available (included in the asking price) for a complete fit-out comprising:* A Boutique Hotel or Lodge with grand Reception and Office, plus 10 large ensuite rooms, many giving onto the upstairs verandah. One enormous room incorporates a kitchenette and is suitable for longer-term occupancy. There is little competition in the area for this sort of accommodation. * A Restaurant/Cafe with commercial kitchen, offering table seating for approximately 50 guests plus a very comfortable lounge area. This restaurant could be operated by the Hotel owner or leased out to a restauranteur. Thames is not overly supplied with quality restaurants. * A separate Tenancy, ideal for professional offices providing regular income - and patronage to the restaurant. * An Owner/Manager Apartment. The hotel is of a size that can be managed by a couple plus staff and the apartment design reflects that. There is on-site parking for 5 vehicles; provision to convert the street parking to angle parking for a further 7 vehicles (Resource Consent exists), and ample on-street parking in the area. The existing plans for a boutique hotel represent only one potential future for the Royal Hotel. It could equally be designed as a Rest Home, Commercial offices, Respite centre or self-contained apartments. The buyer will choose! A commercial operation will see an immediate GST claw-back of 12.5% of the purchase price: which could go a long way towards taking the Royal to the standard desired by the new owner. The Royal Hotel Thames would appear to be especially attractive to migrant entrepreneurs under the new rules, offering the right level of investment and job-creation. Professional advice should be sought. The potential revenue from the Royal Hotel as proposed is very exciting  and the complex offers its new owners a gracious apartment home; a potentially exciting and profitable business; the Coromandel lifestyle on the doorstep; and great prospects for capital gain.  About Thames: Thames is an historic town situated between the calm waters of the Firth of Thames and the majestic ranges of the Coromandel. It is another world: but just 1 hour 20 minutes from Auckland International Airport - or less, when the $50 million replacement for the Kopu Bridge is completed. The major towns of Tauranga and Hamilton are an hour and a bit away.  Thames offers many attractions: browsing through the  numerous and varied speciality shops, a  colourful gold-mining history, beautiful forests and coastlines.  Thames is a great base from which to visit the Coromandel Peninsula.  Most places on the Coromandel are within 1 to 1.5 hours drive from the town.  The Kauaeranga Valley lies in the hills just behind Thames and offers extensive walking tracks and camping opportunities as well as some of the more adventurous activities that the Peninsula has to offer.  The Thames Coast, a beautiful stretch of scenic coastline just north of Thames, also offers a variety of activities and is famed for its fishing.   The population of approx 7,500 is well serviced by a large supermarket, air conditioned shopping mall, many large chain stores and well as boutique shops - and 5 cinemas.  There is a good trade/service sector, strong industrial group, commercial centre, hospital and medical centre supporting Thames and the larger Coromandel region.  The Government has just spent $20 million on a new hospital in Thames - the base hospital for this part of the Waikato. The influx of skilled staff has produced a residential accommodation shortage. Thames boasts many pre-school/childcare facilities, several primary schools, a high school, as well as tertiary courses and continuing education programmes.  There are also hundreds of sports groups, clubs, organisations, service groups, arts & crafts, gardens and outdoor activities available.  Key selling points: Character Potential Quality renovation Position. http://www.arkadia.com/zpoc-t118026/
