Why choose a Retirement Village in Taranaki?
Taranaki is defined by the overarching presence of Mt Taranaki, its ocean beaches and lush dairy country, and beautiful country gardens. Having established itself as a research centre for alternative energy sources, New Plymouth is the major provincial city where residents enjoy a range of activities, from enjoying the award-winning Coastal Walkway, through to taking in Len Lye’s mesmerising kinetic installations at the Govett-Brewster art gallery.
The heartland towns of Stratford, Hāwera and Eltham service their surrounding farmlands, and each have their own unique character. While cheese fiends and history buffs will enjoy the dairy industry history of Eltham (not to mention the renowned Eltham Cheese Bar!) or the oldest railway station in Inglewood, literary lovers, especially fans of the great bard, may prefer Stratford with its Glockenspiel clock tower performing reenactments of Romeo and Juliet daily.
For those with a green thumb, Taranaki is the place to be with a number of open-to-visit gardens spread across the region, as well as the highly regarded annual Taranaki Garden Festival.
