Taranaki Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Got this on our way to New Plymouth NZ
Egmont National Park is nestled on the slopes of Mount Taranaki, which is a dormant volcano on the western side of New Zealand's North Island. Even though Taranaki region is easily accessible, most tourists ignore it as it is on a path less traveled. It is a shame as Egmont National Park has beautiful scenery, lush temperate rainforest vegetation and this gorgeous waterfall known as the Dawson Falls! The hike to the waterfall is short but with some steep steps, and the view point above is even more easily reached. If you're traveling in the North Island, Egmont National Park is well worth a visit!

Good place, quite central. Would stay there again. Although some younger guests were quite noisy late at night. The hotel management should just put a sign in the hallways for all guests to be aware and respectful towards other guests after a certain time in the night.

Nice hotel close to the coastal walkway and not too far to the CBD. Room was quite large and well appointed. Good selection at the breakfast buffet. Reception and dining room staff were all friendly and helpful.
