| Driving and location information |
From the North, follow State Highway 3 through Hamilton (3 hrs), Te Kuiti (2 hrs), Mokau (1 hr),then along the coast right into New Plymouth. From the South, follow SH 3 through Bulls (2.5 hrs), Wanganui (2 hrs), Hawera (50 mins) and Stratford (30 mins) up to New Plymouth. Alternately, the beautiful Surf Highway 45 around the western side of Mt Taranaki is a scenic route that will add 30 minutes to your journey, but well worth it.
