New Plymouth Taranaki Overview
Sunflower Lodge Backpackers is the closest New Plymouth accommodation to the Intercity bus stop, just one street away. Step out of the bus, walk through Taranaki's largest City mall, and right across the street you will see the cheerful orange façade of the Sunflower Lodge accommodation, all too conveniently situated above the temptations of a gourmet ice cream shop and a lively café / bar. Welcome to Taranaki, New Zealand.
Taranaki is a place with a perfect mountain as its heart. Our region flows around the almost perfect cone-shaped Mount Taranaki, which rises 2518 metres above the land. Also known as Mount Egmont, the dormant volcano has a ringplain of rich volcanic soil, veined with rivers and streams.Because of our warm temperatures, high sunshine hours and Excellent rainfall, gardens and parks flourish in our region. Every year, we host the Taranaki Rhododendron Festival, with dedicated gardeners opening their hearts and properties to the public. But always, we turn back to Mount Taranaki. Its overwhelming presence is a constant reminder of our history and there is something mysterious about it as the holder of Taranaki stories and memories.
