This cozy spot sits halfway between Auckland and Wellington on New Zealand’s rugged west coast. The Taranaki region's character is defined by its raw beauty and vibrant spirit. Here, a pristine coastline with world-class surf breaks meets the perfect volcanic scenery of Mount Taranaki. The landscape is alive with blooming gardens, endless trails, and a rich cultural heritage and arts scene. Taranaki has something for everyone Our local recommendations: \- Pukekura Park is an inner-city botanical gem that features lakes with rowboats, playgrounds, a cricket ground, a fernery, a tea house, a waterfall, and the Bowl of Brooklands entertainment venue. \- Pukeiti is a 360-hectare rainforest park at Taranaki Maunga's base. It offers rainforest walking tracks through regenerating forests and stunning views of the Tasman Sea and nearby ranges. \- Egmont National Park is home to the 120,000-year-old Taranaki Maunga, New Zealand's most perfectly formed volcano, which last erupted in 1775. It's a sacred site for the Māori and a popular climbing destination. \- Dawson Falls is a 30-minute scenic drive from Stratford and offers great short walks on Mount Taranaki. The forest, with its moss-covered Tōtara and Kamahi trees, resembles a mystical Goblin Forest. \- Pouakai Zoo has been a Taranaki tradition for nearly four decades and invites visitors to share experiences with new generations. Memorable moments, like feeding geese and exploring the native bush, make it a cherished local heritage.
