Come on a journey to the region of Manawatu – your gateway to New Zealand culture and the beautiful North Island.
Conveniently located halfway between Rotorua and Wellington, our region combines the charm of rural New Zealand with the sophisticated provincal appeal of Palmerston North city (affectionately known as Palmy).
The landscape sweeps dramatically from the Ruahine and Tararua ranges, through the spectacular Manawatu Gorge and picturesque Pohangina Valley, along Manawatu River to the coastal plains of Tangimoana and Himatangi. The region enjoys a mild climate, providing fantastic growing conditions for the many public world-class gardens.
