Neighbourhood
Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
New Plymouth is the major city of the Taranaki region, situated on the west coast of the North Island half way between Auckland and Wellington New Zealand.
Renowned for its conical shaped Mountain Mount Taranaki, Taranaki has an abundance of rivers, sea, surf beaches and bush walks; all the attractions for which New Zealand is famous. The close proximity to both sea and mountain, means visitors could climb to the summit or surf and ski on the same day!
The mountain provides excellent climbing, skiing, tramping and photography and is the source of over 50 rivers and streams.
This province, due to its rich volcanic soil, boosts some of New Zealand's best public and private gardens. Many of these can be visited for free.
