New Plymouth - Simply Stunning
Situated on the west coast of the North Island, New Plymouth is a modern city with wonderful urban amenities set against the backdrop of a stunning landscape that stretches from the Tasman Sea to Mt Taranaki.
With a lifestyle shaped by that landscape, there are significant groups of fishermen, sailors, swimmers, surfers, hikers and mountain-climbers in the district.
Also rich in culture, New Plymouth is home to Puke Ariki – a ground-breaking integrated museum, library and i-SITE – the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery, widely known for its cutting edge contemporary art exhibitions, and events including WOMAD (World of Music Art and Dance) and the Taranaki Arts Festival. |
