Taranaki Zone


Just down the road, it’s time to discover Taranaki.

Taranaki boasts magnificent gardens ? from small themed urban spaces to extensive gardens of significance. Our rich volcanic soils and lush landscapes have allowed gardeners to create magnificent spaces ? many of which can be experienced and enjoyed during the spring garden festivals.

Heading into summer, our events calendar is brimming with activity ? from The Festival of Lights, to WOMAD (World of Music, Arts and Dance), ASP Surf Festival, AmeriCarna, Mountain to Surf Marathon, Arts Trail, TropFest Film Festival, Kayak Fishing Classic or a concert at the iconic Bowl of Brooklands. There’s something for everyone in the family to enjoy.

If you want to experience something a little different you can’t go past the new Len Lye Centre. A glistening stainless steel building on a prominent corner site in central New Plymouth, it is a celebration of artist Len Lye, of contemporary art, and of regional innovation.

Taranaki is full of fantastic attractions, wonderful friendly people, stunning gardens, interesting and engaging museums and galleries, cool cafes and restaurants, and an energy that will leave you wanting to move here! Find out more and plan your next holiday by visiting www.taranaki.info
