Lying between two of New Zealand's national parks and at the meeting point of the Whanganui and Ongarue Rivers, Taumarunui is part of a beautiful piece of New Zealand. Ski enthusiasts can base themselves here and relax in a peaceful setting after a hard day on the mountain. Taumarunui is a tranquil place with a golf course and good fishing. This small town is quite sheltered from the wind by the surrounding hills and has a higher than average mean temperature making it a great place to enjoy outdoor activities.
Taumarunui was originally a Maori village and linked the central North Island settlements with those down the Whanganui River. The area is, therefore, rich in Maori history.
