Ladies' Rest


Ladie's Rest in Whanganui, built in 1930 for women travelers to
change from traveling clothes to 'city wear.' 
It's still in use.

I'm presuming it is still in use??
There used to be a similar place in Tauranga, just off Willow Street where young mums could go and breastfeed or change their babies. The loos were always clean. My favourite rest room. I wonder if that is still there

And in 2019, I think, refurbished by the council

The Te Kuiti one is now repurposed, but I do remember it well - and the Taihape one, also now repurposed.
Stay safe

The customs have probably changed, but it is commendable that the building has been preserved. It is a landmark reminiscent of other times.
