New Plymouth Attractions

Coastal Walkway

The award-winning Coastal Walkway is an 11km path that forms an expansive sea-edge promenade stretching from the port all the way to Bell Block.

Ideal for walking, running, cycling or skating, or simply enjoying the view of the dramatic west coast, the walkway runs from Bell Block to Port Taranaki, with numerous pedestrian access points dotted along the way.

Spanning the Waiwhakaiho River, the 83m long Te Rewa Rewa bridge is reminiscent of a breaking wave or a whale skeleton.  Te Rewa Rewa bridge has received many notable architectural awards.

Pukekura Park

Often described as the jewel in New Plymouth's crown, Pukekura Park covers 128 acres right in the heart of the city and is one of New Zealand's premier botanical gardens.

Coronation Court Motel is within walking distance of Pukekura Park, Brooklands Park and TSB Bowl of Brooklands.

As a popular destination for locals and visitors alike, Pukekura Park lights up over the summer as the backdrop for the annual TSB Bank Festival of Lights.
