TARANAKI

“

Lonely Planet labelled Taranaki New Zealand’s secret paradise

I

t could be the natural landscape, from the picture-perfect peak of Mount Taranaki/Taranaki Maunga to the black-sand surf beaches, or maybe it’s the creative events calendar including WOMAD, the world music festival. Perhaps it’s the many marvellous gardens, or the wide range of activities that offer something for almost everyone. Then there are the region’s hundreds of kilometres of alpine and bush hikes, 20 picturesque golf courses and 12 world-class surf breaks.

Whatever your reason for visiting Taranaki, you can’t help but soak up the energy of this dynamic region.

It is said in Māori legend that Mount Taranaki/Taranaki Maunga once stood in the centre of the North Island alongside the mountains of Ruapehu, Tongariro and Ngauruhoe.

Taranaki fell in love with Mount Pihanga and constantly battled with Tongariro for her heart. After losing a particularly heated battle Taranaki was banished to the west, carving the Whanganui River in his wake.

TARANAKI THE FORGOTTEN WORLD HIGHWAY

THE FORGOTTEN

WORLD HIGHWAY

“

155km touring route through New Zealand’s pioneering heartland

The Forgotten World Highway is New Zealand’s oldest touring route, from the central North Island to Stratford. Over 30 points of interest line the route, and it’s worth taking a day or two to explore the 155km journey as it traverses saddles and passes through the Tangarakau Gorge and farmland battling with the ever-encroaching native bush.

22

TARANAKI THE FORGOTTEN WORLD HIGHWAY

T

he main settlement is Whangamomona, first settled in 1895 with a population of 300 at its peak. Now home to around 20 residents, the village is centred on the Whangamomona Hotel, which offers accommodation and hearty meals for locals and travellers alike.

Whangamomona declared itself a republic in 1989, complete with its own presidential election, passport (which can be obtained from the Hotel) and iconic Republic Day held every second year in January.

The Forgotten World Adventures rail cart excursion, and new pedal-powered option, is opening this unique area to new visitors, as is the growing range of walking and cycling routes and accommodation options in the area.

There’s a huge selection of things to see and do in Taranaki, from outdoor escapades and fun familyfriendly activities to fantastic museums and vibrant creative spaces, you’ll be spoilt for choice here.

I

n the region’s main city, New Plymouth, there’s a huge selection of things to do, from waterfront walks and art trails to surfing, tramping and cycling. The city has world-class art galleries and museums and a growing entertainment scene, as well as exciting events throughout the year. Outside of New Plymouth, the coastline offers more than great surf.

There are welcoming cafés, art and craft studios, charming small towns and opportunities to tap into the area’s rich history – explore pā sites, discover the history of the Cape Egmont Lighthouse, visit shipwrecks 38

and eat to your heart’s content.

There is every opportunity to get off the beaten track in Taranaki, from quirky townships where you’ll be sure to find treasures and bargains alike, to tranquil bush walks and remote highways that are so sparsely used, petrol stations cease to exist..

For as much isolation as you crave, there are populous activities, too. Acclaimed gardens saturate the region, there are countless museums to enrich your stay, art galleries galore, and enough beaches to swim, surf or relax at for 365 days of the year.

All in all, there are about 50 gardens in the Taranaki area that are open to the public and many of these are considered to have international, national or regional significance. South Taranaki is home to a number of standout gardens. Here are a few you might like to check out: HOLLARD GARDENS are located in Kaponga, a 30-minute drive from Hāwera. These gardens are densely planted with beautiful plants, with an emphasis on wellestablished rhododendrons and camellias. Vistors can discover the garden through meandering paths, open lawns, the children’s area and a food growing area.

KING EDWARD PARK established in 1902, has rose beds of both heritage and modern varieties, historic aged trees and a century old model boating pond. The kids will love the hidden features found along the pathways including the 150-year-old cannon along with a pirate ship and fort.

See what’s on at npeventvenues.nz

Opening hours: 10am-4pm weekdays, 10am-2pm weekends & public holidays. Over 3000 toys on display – iconic Kiwiana.

Plus slot cars, sand pit, theatrette & dioramas. Operating toy-making foundry on site. Toy models, collectables & spare parts for sale. Also on site: Inglewood Information Centre & Inglewood Heritage Centre.
