New Plymouth is an awesome holiday destination - ocean one way, mountain the other. There are plenty of beaches, walks, restaurants, events, and views to keep busy or relax by.
Our recommended spots:
Pukekura Park - the most picturesque cricket ground in the world, and not a bad park either. Take a picnic, or wander the Festival of Lights on every summer holidays.

Paritutu Rock - a STEEP 20min climb, with amazing views on a clear day.
Escape Coffee & Petit Paris - popular, independent coffee shops in town.
Len Lye - the new kid on the block, a free art gallery and the perfect spot for a rainy day.
Manifold Coworking & Events space - a beautiful spot to get some work done, passes available by the hour, week, or day.
