Seafood, the traditional Maori hangi (an earth oven), fresh fruit and locally produced venison and beef are just a selection of the must-try cuisine on offer. Combine this with world-class locally made wines and you have a memorable dining experience.

New Plymouth is the main city of Taranaki. It has grown from a farming and petrochemical centre to a
city rich in the arts, dining, sports and outdoor lifestyle. It is well known for its great parks,
including the magnificent Pukekura Park, Nga Motu/Sugar Loaf Islands Marine Park, Tupare Gardens,
and the nearby Egmont National Park (featuring Mount Taranaki/Egmont) and Pukeiti Rhododendron
Trust. There are several heritage trails and city walkways - including the 7km-long Coastal Walkway
- and good local beaches are East End, Fitzroy, Oakura and Ngamotu. The Govett-Brewster Art Gallery
owns a collection of Len Lye kinetic sculptures. The city's historic buildings include St Mary's
Pro-Cathedral, which is the oldest stone church in New Zealand. Puke Ariki is the world's first
purpose-built and fully integrated museum, library and information centre.
