The accommodation New Plymouth has to offer does vary with a selection of central hostels to choose from plus a few nice hotels. New Plymouth nightlife is probably the best thing going for it, so it is certainly worth a few nights stay if you are looking for some late night partying . For some fresh air why not take a hiking trail at the Egmont National Park. For a spot of culture you could head to Puke Ariki a fantastic museum and heritage centre. Or why not relax and enjoy nature at the Pukekura Park. After experiencing fantastic days out you could go for a nice meal at one of New Plymouths many restaurants.
