| If
a visitor had just one day to learn about everything New Zealand has to
offer, they couldnt do better than visit Taranaki to discover an alpine
and national park wonderland, rolling green fields, a beautiful coast and
enough Maori and colonial history to fill a library.
Youll need more than a day, though, to appreciate everything there is to see, do, and find out in Taranaki. Each of the regions three districts provides a unique perspective on Taranakis past, present and future. And Egmont National Park with Mt Taranaki at its heart is a world unto itself. So explore--Theres so much more to Taranaki than you might think. For a lot of New Zealanders Taranaki is an unkown, and that has helped to make it a very special place because it retains many of the qualities and attributes that have disappeared from other parts of the country--something international visitors really appreciate. Taranaki is New Zealand the way it used to be, but with all the trappings of modern day life. Weve got the good things, like shops, restaurants and cafes, yet somehow they havent encroached on our way of life or ruined our rural character. We have the mountain and the sea, the fabulous outdoors, concerts, events, attractions and activities aplenty, but its the peace, solitude and opportunities to take time out in a glorious setting that many visitors enjoy. Come and experience for yourself. |
