QUALITY ASSURANCE

Look for the Qualmark, New Zealand tourism's official mark of quality.

Main Centres

Palmerston North

Palmerston North is a sizeable city kept lively by a large population of university students. Enjoy the museums, restaurants and rose gardens.

Towns

Bulls

Pause in the town of Bulls to check out the cafes, pubs, antique shops & humorous bull signs (look for ‘Relieve-a-bull’ if you’re after the toilet).

Dannevirke

An important service centre for the Tararua region, Dannevirke is a pleasant country town with a strong Scandinavian heritage.

Feilding

Try to visit Feilding on a Friday, to see the sheep and cattle saleyards in action. Then take a stroll around the restored Edwardian town centre.

Foxton

Foxton is a town of many museums – learn about the flax industry, trolley buses, movies and sound, Dutch windmills and hand crafted dolls.

Levin

Pause in Levin for beach walks and bargains. At Waitarere Beach you can walk to a shipwreck; around town there are factory outlet shops to browse.

Marton

If you’re driving past Marton over summer, you’ll want to get lost in the amazing maize maze. Exercise your legs and your brain at the same time!

Pahiatua

Pahiatua is a base for brown trout fishing. The nearby Makuri, Mangahao, Mangatainoka, Makakahi and Manawatu Rivers have top class fishing spots.

Shannon

While travelling around New Zealand you might hear our native owls calling “morepork” at night, but in Shannon you can actually see some.

Taihape

Every year Taihape celebrates the humble gumboot with a festival that includes a gumboot throwing event. Definitely something to write home about!
