New Plymouth Coastal Walkway

Utterly spectacular 11km long walkway along the seafront in New Plymouth, New Zealand. Walk, ride skate or scoot from Bell Block in the north to Port Taranaki to the south taking in the stunning Te Rewa Rewa Bridge, three swimming beaches, a golf club, rolling farm land, rivers and various accessways to residential and shopping areas.

The New Plymouth Costal Walkway is a pedestrian and cycleway goes for miles and miles...8 miles to be exact. It’s easy to walk manageable pieces, there are numerous parking lots and public washrooms along the way. There are lots of delights along the way, including surfers, friendly Kiwis walking their dogs, a golf course, the famous Len Lee’s “Wind Wand” sculpture and the spectacularly shaped Te Rewa Rewa Bridge crossing Waiwhakaiho River at the northern end. We had several wonderful excursions during our stay. New Plymouth is to be commended for making exercising, the easy choice.

Stratford Speedway

Reviewed By RowanT113 - Auckland Central, New Zealand

Ok I am biased as I love supporting NZ Motorsport but if there is racing at Stratford, grab the family, a rug, your hoodies and go for a great night out. Good food at the track, carprking and the club puts on a great show for all ages.

Mokau Museum and Gallery

The Mokau Museum and Art Gallery highlights the rich and varied history of the region surrounding the museum as well as showcasing artists from the Waikato and Taranaki region.

Reviewed By Sunjoy

This museum has a great collection of old newspapers, various household (and beyond) items (from electric dog collars to washing machines) and also displays some of the Maori history. We had an enjoyable time scanning the vast collection of newspapers (all of them available to open and read) and looking over - and reminiscing for some of us - the old household items on display. There is a nice relaxed feel to the museum and it is definitely worth the time to stop and explore.

This is an absolute must visit. Wonderful informative chat with Susan one of the fabulous volunteers. Every town & city should do this. So beautiful with all the flowers, shrubs & statement trees among the grave sites. The hard work of the volunteers is evident in every aspect. So much respect for all their hard work.
