New Plymouth's parks and gardens are a beauty to behold all year round. Alternatively, pull on your hiking boots and explore Taranaki Maunga.

New Plymouth is a vibrant and contemporary city, known for its sunny climate, art galleries, picturesque parks, decadent dining, and family-friendly fun. 

The conical shape of Taranaki Maunga (mountain) provides a dramatic backdrop to the city, a constant reminder that the hiking trails of Egmont National Park/Te Papakura o Taranaki are just a short drive away.
