We hold 187 venues in Palmerston North — 144 places to eat and 43 to stay. That is more than anywhere else in Manawatū-Whanganui, and 29% of everything mapped across the region. Nationally it sits 8th out of 1,482 places.

Of the places to eat, 18% are cafés against a national figure of 28%. Palmerston North skews 10 points away from cafés and towards restaurants, a pattern more typical of an evening trade. The full split is 26 cafés, 61 restaurants, 48 takeaways, 4 bars and 5 pubs.

106 of the 144 eating places carry a cuisine tag. The most common are pizza (13), fish and chips (12) and burger (11). Relative to the rest of the country Palmerston North is unusually strong on bubble tea, turkish and vietnamese — those appear here at a higher rate than the national average.

On the practical detail: 43 publish opening hours (23%), 2 have outdoor seating and 1 flag vegetarian options. That is about the national average of 23%.

For a bed, Palmerston North runs to 43 listings — 5 hotels, 32 motels, 1 b&bs and guest houses, 2 hostels and 3 holiday parks and campgrounds. Motels dominate, at 74% of the town's accommodation.

Places of a similar size — Nelson (185), Napier (159), Queenstown (216) and Whangārei (144) — average 28% accommodation. Palmerston North runs at 23%, much the same, so on this measure it behaves like its peers.

All of this is derived from open data rather than collected from listings sites: OpenStreetMap for the venues, public registers for verification. 7 of the 187 venues in Palmerston North carry at least six recorded attributes and so have a page of their own; the rest are listed here, because a page with only a name and a map pin on it would be worth nobody's time. A blank field means unrecorded, not absent. Nothing here is scraped from a commercial directory, no venue has paid to appear, and we publish no ratings or reviews of our own.
