This is a lovely and very quiet place, looking through the trees towards the beach. Very handy to get to the centre by foot or biking as you are a few meters back from the cycling lane / walkway. There are bikes for you to use, or you can just relax in the peaceful garden and on the sunny deck looking at the sea. We did both!!! The place is very comfy, perfect for the party of 3 we were. New Plymouth has a lot to offer between museums, parks and walks. And if you may even see the mountain in its full splendour !
