New Plymouth District: a buzzy port town

Staying in a New Plymouth District vacation rental might just be the best decision you've ever made. The buzzy port town is home to thriving art galleries, a mouth-watering foodie scene and warm locals. Beyond the town, the dramatic scenery is a sight to behold. The snow-capped volcanic Mount Taranaki tumbles down to swathes of virgin subalpine forests and tumbling waterfalls. You should pack up your walking boots and camera because both are going to get a whole lot of use out on the footpaths. Your Instagram account will never look the same again.

Things to do

New Plymouth District's thriving art scene

When you catch a glimpse of the jaw-dropping scenery near your New Plymouth District vacation rental, you'll quickly realize why there is such a thriving art scene here. It doesn't matter if you want to browse or pick up some local work to take home, you can delve into the local art world in many of the town's galleries and museums. Along the waterfront, be sure to swing by the Puke Ariki, an innovative museum which captures the heritage of Taranaki. Alternatively, if botany is your thing, there are 17 significant gardens in the district, more than any other part of the country.

Activities

Get your walking boots ready for New Plymouth District

When it comes to things to do near your New Plymouth District vacation rental, it's hard to know where to start. Hiking is one of the most popular activities and the countryside footpaths that wind their way up to mountain summits are nothing short of breath-taking. The rolling swells that hit the shores are a surfer's paradise. Don't worry if you don't know what you're doing, there are plenty of experts who can teach you to pop up and ride the waves. For the ultimate, albeit expensive, adventure, hop aboard one of the helicopter flights to see snow-capped Mount Taranaki from above.

Weather

Escape winter in New Plymouth District

By far the most popular time for New Plymouth District vacation rentals is the summer months between December and February, when New Zealand families and international travelers descend on the sun-soaked beaches. That said, it's not the only time worth visiting the area. If you catch spring at the right time, the agreeable temperature and sunny weather can be wonderful for outdoor activities. While fall might be a little chilly for the beach, it's a scenic time to tip up in town, you'll benefit from a serious knock down in rental prices and it'll be far less crowded.

Natural features

Catch a glimpse of the kiwi in New Plymouth District

The New Plymouth District is dominated by the breath-taking Mount Taranaki, which drops down into virgin forests and along to the rugged New Zealand coast. There might not be a long list of bird species but what most people come for is catching that elusive glimpse of the endangered flightless kiwi bird, the national symbol of New Zealand, and the shining cuckoo, kingfisher and pukeko. If you're stay in a waterfront New Plymouth District vacation rental, keep your eyes peeled for pods of dolphins playfully leaping out at sea and if you're really lucky, the odd orca.
