GETTING TO
TARANAKI
From the mythical volcanic cone of Mount
Taranaki to the ancient pa sites that mark
the region’s hilltops to the innovation of
its present population, Taranaki is home to
countless great stories which are best told
through its many museums and galleries.
In Taranaki you can experience a collection
of almost everything somewhere around
the Mountain.
Taranaki is an accessible region located halfway between Auckland and Wellington
on the North Island’s west coast.
Our museums and galleries range from
big to small, from the impressive Puke
Ariki museum, which tells the stories of
the region and boasts ever-changing
exhibitions, to the work of local artists at
boutique dealer galleries.
They span the remarkable to the eclectic,
from Nigel Ogle’s Tawhiti Museum which
presents local artefacts amidst hundreds
of handmade models to the history of cast
tin toys on display at Inglewood’s Fun Ho!
Toy Museum.
Getting to Taranaki
WELCOME
By Air
Air New Zealand flies direct to New Plymouth from Auckland or Wellington daily.
The 45 minute direct flight will offer glimpses of picture perfect Mount Taranaki, lush
regional countryside, and the vibrant Tasman Sea that delivers the world-renowned surf
breaks of Surf Highway 45. Air New Zealand also flies direct between Christchurch and
New Plymouth Monday to Friday, taking around 90 minutes.
By Road
There are two main routes into Taranaki. From the north State Highway 3 brings you
along the dramatic coast of North Taranaki from Te Kuiti, the Waikato, Bay of Plenty
and Auckland. From the south State Highway 3 leaves State Highway 1 at Sanson
and brings you into Taranaki via Whanganui and Waitotara.
Another option is the stunningly scenic Forgotten World Highway (SH43), New
Zealand’s oldest heritage trail. Starting in Taumarunui the 155km highway winds
its way through rugged hill country to Stratford and takes approximately three
hours to drive.
Regular bus services to Taranaki operate from Auckland and Wellington and stop at
points in between.
As you work your way through the
museums and galleries listed in this
publication, you’ll discover that the people
of Taranaki are passionate not only about
collecting, but about sharing the region’s
history and its many fascinating stories.

New Plymouth District
Judged the most liveable city in New Zealand by North & South magazine
and the best small city in the world by the UN-backed Liveable Communities
Awards, New Plymouth offers a lively cosmopolitan base for exploring the
many galleries and museums of North Taranaki.
New Plymouth sits alongside the Tasman Sea and has Mount Taranaki
at its back. The city and its surrounding district have a vibrant café and
cultural scene, extensive events calendar and fantastic parks and gardens.
Connecting the many attractions is a network of walking and cycling
trails, the most prominent of which is the city’s 11km Coastal Walkway.
The walkway and the city’s museums and galleries have undoubtedly
contributed to New Plymouth’s transformation in recent years.

Fun Ho! National Toy Museum
bijou eliot: design + art
Toy-riffic! Fun Ho! toys hold a special
place in New Zealand history, and in
many childhood memories, as well as
catering to modern day tastes.
The walls are dedicated gallery space,
with exhibitions that change on a bimonthly basis and focus on contemporary
New Zealand practice from local
and national artists. Gallery at bijou
eliot offers viewers the opportunity to
experience artworks in a less formal
context than a traditional gallery, and in
the company of other unique pieces.
For over 75 years, Fun Ho! has been a
household name in New Zealand. Still
found in sandpits and toy collections
around the world, Fun Ho! toys have
become a sought-after collectable and
are a true “Kiwiana” classic.
An extensive selection of exquisite
upholstery and curtain textiles, and
wallpapers are complemented by the
in-house interior design service available.
The visual experience is complete as doors
open onto a sheltered garden, featuring
outdoor pots, furniture and statuary.
The Fun Ho! story began in 1935 when
Jack Underwood started making lead toys
in his basement. The toys began being
made in solid cast aluminium from the
early 1940s. This production continued
until 1982 and they are now being made
in the on-site foundry at the museum.
The Fun Ho! National Toy Museum has
over 3000 toys on display along with
plenty of interactive activities. This is not
just a museum where you get to look at
things, often you are also able to touch.
And with the on-site foundry, you’ll often
get to see first-hand a toy being made by
Richard Jordan, the toy-maker. You may
even get to take part in the process.
And you have the option to take your very
own piece of Fun Ho! home. The museum
has a great little store where replicas of
many of the toys on display are available
for purchase, made using the original
moulding plates.
Whether you’re 5, 55 or
75, you’re bound to have
a good time at the Fun Ho!
National Toy Museum.

Within the historic Gables Colonial
Hospital is the Taranaki Society of Arts
gallery. Built in 1848, The Gables was one
of four hospitals (and the only surviving
example) built in the North Island as
part of Governor George Grey’s policy to
assimilate Maori into Pakeha culture. The
Gables was erected at Te Henui, which at
the time was on the outskirts of the New
Plymouth settlement. Because of this few
Pakeha used it and it was known as the
‘Native hospital’.
The Gables was purchased in 1904 by
Mary King, wife of businessman Newton
King, and shifted onto their Brooklands
estate. In 1934 the estate was gifted to
the city of New Plymouth. It was used
as rental accommodation until 1983
when it underwent a two year restoration
programme, re-opening in 1985 as an
arts centre and home to the Taranaki
Society of Arts.

The charm of Hurworth Cottage and
the tranquillity of the surrounding
landscape belie a significant aspect of
the property’s history.
The cottage was built by pioneer farmer
Harry Atkinson and formed part of the
Hurworth settlement established by
the Richmond and Atkinson families.
In March 1856 newly-weds Harry
and Amelia Jane moved into the still
unfinished house.
By 1860, Hurworth was a prosperous
farming settlement, growing most of
its own food and renowned for its fine

like many throughout Taranaki, had to be
abandoned because of the Taranaki Wars.
Remarkably, graffiti from that period
was uncovered during restoration of the
cottage in the 1970s and remains on
view today.
After the Wars, the families returned
to their settlement to find all but two
of their houses had been destroyed.
Harry returned in 1865 and, following
his second marriage, the house was
considerably altered in the 1870s and
1880s. He had a highly successful
political career and held the office of New
Zealand Premier four times.
The cottage was donated to the New
Zealand Historic Places Trust in 1967 and
was restored to its original size. Set in
a delightful garden, the house contains
family mementos and furnishings.
Hurworth is available for small garden
weddings and other events.
Remembering yesterday, today for

Also on show is the 1938 Ford V8 Fire
Engine that saw 40 years of service with
the Waitara Fire Brigade along with
two fully restored 1929 DA Dodge Cars.
Other vehicles on display include a 1963
Rambler Classic 660, a 1964 MGB sports

How to find us: Waitara, beside the New

The Waitara Railway Preservation Society
offers a great outdoor experience of riding
the rails along a historic stretch of railway.
This is travel as it was, before cars became
popular. With a choice of either an open
carriage, with some seating and roof, or a
carriage with tables, you will experience a
journey through countryside that you miss
if you travel by road.
The railway line was opened in 1875
and linked New Plymouth with Waitara
so that produce could be exported from
the Waitara River Port. This was the first
railway in Taranaki. When New Plymouth
developed its own port, the railway
between New Plymouth and Waitara
began to be used less and less. The line
was closed in the late 1980s and in 1999
a section between Waitara and Lepperton
was purchased by the Waitara Railway
Preservation Society (Inc).
The journey starts at Waitara, opposite
The game of lawn bowls is enjoyed by
thousands throughout New Zealand but
surprisingly this is the only registered
museum dedicated to the game in the
world. The private collection of Bob and
Mavis Vinsen provided the foundation for
the museum. Thanks to their vision and
determination, along with major support
from the TSB Community Trust, the TSB
Bowls New Zealand Museum opened its
doors in 1993. The collection has grown
considerably since that time.

Street and it is here that you can purchase
your ticket. After boarding the carriages
you will then enjoy an approximately
1 hour excursion and experience the
excitement of travelling on rails. We break
the journey at our depot on the return,
which was formerly the old Tahora Station
on the Stratford to Taumarunui line. Here
you are able to enjoy complimentary
refreshments and talk to staff about the
rolling stock or the history of the railway.
Remember to bring your camera as you
ride the rails!

Stratford District
Located in the heart of Taranaki, the town of Stratford is indelibly linked to its
namesake Stratford-upon-Avon. The works of that town’s favourite son are
immortalised in Stratford-upon-Patea’s street names, parks and distinctive
Glockenspiel Clock Tower, which performs passages from the Great Bard’s
Romeo and Juliet at 10.00am, 1.00pm, 3.00pm and 7.00pm daily.
Beyond Stratford, the district is the gateway to Mount Taranaki and Egmont
National Park, which offers countless walks and alpine tramps or a night at
the historic Stratford Mountain House. To the east lies New Zealand’s oldest
heritage trail, the Forgotten World Highway, which offers a drive back in
time with over 30 historic and scenic points of interest punctuated by the
heritage village of Whangamomona.

mayor, lawyer and farmer. In his will
he left a significant bequest to be
used towards the establishment and
maintenance of an arboretum and
herbarium of the native flora of New
Zealand and an art gallery.
The Stratford District Council established
the Percy Thomson Trust to manage these
facilities and to create, acquire, promote,
exhibit and manage art collections
for the benefit of Stratford District
residents and the general public. The
gallery provides an exciting and diverse
programme of exhibitions by showing
national and international touring shows,
regional exhibitions and work by both
established and emerging local artists
and community groups. Visitors are both
challenged and entertained.
Exhibitions are often changed every three
to four weeks so you are sure to see
something new whenever you visit.
The building also houses the Stratford

South Taranaki spans a large portion of the region, from Okato on the coast,
around the mountain to Eltham and south to the town of Waverley. At the
heart of this lush dairying district is the main centre of Hawera, a town with
a rich history and an impressive array of attractions and facilities.
The district boasts some of the best tramping, fishing and surfing in New
Zealand, and is home to the remarkable Tawhiti Museum, regarded as the
best private museum in the country. The many towns of South Taranaki offer
friendly communities, cozy cafés and a delightfully eclectic array of shops,
studios, parks and gardens in which to reenergise after a day exploring the
district’s museums and galleries.

A farm park including a wide range of
animals and birds was also developed. In
2000 the ‘Memory Lane’ museum was
added to the attractions. The museum
has a number of specialist displays that
include collections of quirky teapots,
bizarre salt and pepper shakers, and Royal
commemorative porcelain. There is also a
themed grocer’s shop from the 1920-30s
along with a toy shop. New displays are
always being added.
In 1999 the Marine Safety Authority
removed the historic lantern from the
Cape Egmont Lighthouse and replaced it
with a modern Vega light. South Taranaki
District Council, as custodians of the
lantern, were faced with the challenge of
finding a new home for it. Hearing this
news, a committee was formed within the
Cape Egmont Boat Club to erect a replica
lighthouse museum next to the boat club
to house the restored lantern.
Ashley Park is located between Hawera
and Whanganui and is an ideal place to
break the journey.
With strong backing from the South
Taranaki District Council, NZ Lotteries,
charities and private donors a new home
for the light was proposed, with the
foundations for the replica lighthouse laid
in 2004. The replica tower has four floors,
each of which is themed. The bottom
floor houses a display honouring Lord
Ernest Rutherford, a brilliant physicist,
whose family were flax millers at nearby
Pungarehu. This exhibition was part of
a millennium project undertaken by the
In the 1990s it was decided to change the
focus of the property and a range of new
attractions were added. These include a
teashop with an antique shop adjoining
it, various accommodation options such
as chalets, bed and breakfast, cabins and
dormitory, along with a camping ground.

For Nigel the museum is “one big art
project”. Once an art teacher, he now
finds developing new displays for the
museum is an outlet for his talents.
“I hope my enthusiasm for local
history comes through the displays.
I’m particularly aware of drawing
children into the displays – they mustn’t
feel museums are old buildings, full of
old dusty junk. Historical display should
be engaging and exciting - I’m always
looking for more innovative ways of
making it just that”.

designed and built on the premises.
Friends, relatives and locals have been
coerced into allowing a casting to be
made from their features – creating the
very real images that have become
a trademark of the Tawhiti Museum.
The addition of Farm Power Hall in recent
years has extended Tawhiti’s range of
rural machinery considerably. The Bruce
Alexander collection necessitated the
building of a further 2,000 m² of display
space. This already impressive collection
is still growing and has become a
destination for machinery enthusiasts.
Adjacent to Tawhiti Museum is the
‘Traders & Whalers’ attraction.
Opened in 2010 by Prime Minister John
Key, this unique and innovative historical
presentation is already being acclaimed
as world class. Two years in the planning
and over two years in the building, this
attraction sets out to challenge visitors
with a stunningly creative and hauntingly
real environment as the basis for a study
of the Taranaki coast from the 1820s to
the 1840s.
With the sculpting and modelling skills
of Nigel already widely recognized and
a trademark of the Tawhiti Museum,
he reaches a new level of creativity in

beautifully crafted period artefacts
and scale models unite in this totally

The Woolshed Museum is the result of one
man’s passion for collecting anything old
and interesting. Bill Hone developed the
collecting ‘bug’ as a child and since then
has amassed a huge array of pioneer and
natural history objects. His collection soon
required a small building for displays and
this fascinating museum was born. The
collection continued to grow and after Bill
retired he acquired a disused woolshed
which he moved onto his property and
filled with his vast collection.
The sheer quantity of items on display
will amaze the visitor and Bill is happy
to share the stories that surround them.
No matter what your interest you are
bound to find something intriguing in the
