Workation in New Plymouth: the essentials
A near-perfect volcanic cone stands behind New Plymouth, the main city of Taranaki on the North Island's west coast. Around 60,000 people live here, the economy rests on dairy farming plus oil and gas, and the Govett-Brewster gallery with its Len Lye Centre has an art reputation well beyond the region. The Coastal Walkway follows the sea past surf breaks and Lye's Wind Wand, and Pukekura Park hosts a summer festival of lights. New Plymouth Airport is about 11 km from the centre. Wind and changeable weather come with the location, and Auckland and Wellington are both a long drive away.
