Govett-Brewster Art Gallery / Len Lye Centre

New Zealand's celebrated and only contemporary art museum. The exhibition programme constantly changes so whilst it is always worth checking out what's on, being a stone's throw from New Plymouth Bella Vista means it's a must do.

New Plymouth Wind Wand

The New Plymouth Wind Wand at almost 50 metres tall is a kinetic sculpture located on the waterfront. This iconic landmark bends in the wind and lights up at night. Just a 5 minute walk away from our New Plymouth motel.

Coastal Walkway

A fantastic coastal walkway track stretching for 12.7km, offering spectacular views, outdoor art displays, playgrounds and coffee stops. Walk past sculptures, beaches, rock pools and be sure to visit the iconic Te Rewa Rewa Bridge. The track is a great option either for walking, running or cycling.

Brooklands Zoo

A great, free zoo located in Pukekura Park. It’s the perfect place to come with a picnic lunch. Safe for children and fully fenced, the variety of animals exceeds expectations for a free attraction – farm animals, monkeys, meer cats, exotic birds, plus lots more.

The Gables (Colonial Hospital)

A wonderful slice of history located in Brooklands Park, The Gables was originally constructed as a hospital, and it has been lovingly restored and now houses local art exhibitions.

Taranaki Cathedral, Church of St Mary

This church is currently closed for earthquake repairs but is an amazing historical building with beautifully appointed stonework. If you are looking for a church service, this is currently being held in the hall across the road.

Clock Tower

An iconic clock tower that plays a melodious tune every hour, there is no access to climb to the top, but you are able to appreciate it from ground level. Looks beautiful at night when it’s lit up and only 100 metres from your New Plymouth accommodation.

Todd Energy Aquatic Centre

A great swimming complex featuring pools, hydro-slides, wave machine, dive pool, tots pool, spa pool. The spacious outdoor area is the perfect spot to sit around with a picnic lunch.

Maui Gas Field Visitor Centre

For something a little different learn the story of oil and gas in Taranaki. The pièce de résistance is a replica oil field platform and pictorial explanations of the workings of the Maui Gas installation.

Historic Koru Pa

Koru Pa is thought to be one of the first Maori settlements in Taranaki. Maori tradition identifies that this site may have been built as early as 1000AD. This is a special place that still shows signs of the original infrastructure from the Maori musket wars.

Whitecliffs Walkway

Step out along the five-hour Whitecliffs Walkway. Discover the famous white cliffs and Three Sisters rock formations then walk the hand-hewn Te Horo tunnel. The walkway is closed from 01 June to 30 September

Puke Ariki 

A world-class museum and heritage centre on New Plymouth's waterfront. It includes a visitor centre and cafe and is located just close to the Wind Wand.

Gardens of Significance

​Taranaki is home to 17 gardens of national or regional significance; that's about a quarter of New Zealand's total. At all times of the year, dozens of private gardens can be viewed by appointment. Otherwise attend the premier festival of Taranaki’s gardens – the Taranaki Garden Spectacular. 

Visit Pukekura Park to enjoy the fernery and display houses, as well as a children's zoo, forest walks and row boats.

Pukeiti is internationally recognised for its rhododendron collection set in 360 hectares of native forest or Tupare in New Plymouth and Hollard Gardens in Kaponga are two of New Zealand's finest heritage gardens.

King Edward Park in Hawera features the world's only 'Wendy' statue - the partner to Kensington Garden's 'Peter Pan'.

 

Egmont National Park

Egmont National Park, which includes Mount Taranaki, offers fascinating outdoor adventures. Hike to the summit or enjoy the Pouakai Crossing day hike. Previous snow and ice climbing experience is required to reach the summit during winter. There are more than 300 kilometres of walking tracks, ranging from ten-minute nature walks to a three-day trek around the mountain. If walking isn't your thing, take a scenic flight over Mount Taranaki. 

Between June and October, the Stratford Mountain Club operates the mountain's only ski field, Manganui. Visitors are always welcome.

Captivating coast with deluxe surf breaks

With a coastline that curves from north-facing to west-facing and around to the south, the waves in Taranaki just keep on rolling. Explore one of New Zealand's best surf regions. Cruise Surf Highway 45 to all the top surfing spots or head to Sugar Loaf Marine Park to encounter seals and other marine life. Book sure to book in for a surf lesson with a local expert.

Cape Egmont Lighthouse

The lighthouse is a wonderful spot for photography with distant Mount Taranaki as a backdrop whilst learning about Taranaki's  maritime past.  The lighthouse will open by appointment.

Te Henui Vicarage

This is one of the oldest stone buildings in New Zealand; the Vicarage is a very photogenic building and well worth a visit. It’s now a place used to showcase the local pottery and if you’re lucky enough you may get to throw a pot.
