Cool little cafe with great food and coffee, just a short walk from the house. Check out the terrace out the back for a quirky, sunny little place to have your coffee.

Drinks & Nightlife

Great, friendly bar, with open mic nights on Wed and Thursdays. Some fabulous local musicians turn up and do their thing, and it's all very low-key and relaxed. Can't comment on the food as we haven't eaten there for ages!

Library and museum complex. The library is very child-friendly, with storytelling and other regular activities. Museum filled with interactive exhibits and beautifully curated pieces reflecting Taranaki's history. A great place to spend a couple of hours - and it's all free!

If you're lucky you'll see Mt Taranaki standing proudly above New Plymouth, but he often hides behind the clouds. Easiest way to visit the mountain is by driving up to the Egmont Visitor's Centre (turn off from Egmont Village). There are some good displays, a cafe and information centre, and some good short walks start from here. Note that the mountain is not to betaken lightly. Do not attempt a longer walk without preparation, suitable equipment, and advising someone of your intentions.
