New Plymouth
A near-perfect volcanic cone that has doubled for Mount Fuji in film thanks to the resemblance, a coastal walkway and surf scene built around black-sand beaches, and gardens that bloom so reliably the city hosts a festival purely around them.
The best time to visit New Plymouth is Dec–Feb, when typical daytime highs reach about 14°C (57°F). Local time there is 03:01 (UTC+12).
