North Egmont

The landscape around North Egmont is a steep, rain-fed volcanic mountainside, which has shaped both its small-scale built form and visitor economy. Set on the northern slopes of Taranaki Maunga, this high-country locality is a principal access point for Egmont National Park and its network of walking routes. The North Egmont Visitor Centre sits at about 946 metres above sea level, beneath the 2,518-metre volcanic cone of Mount Taranaki. The mountain is an enduring ancestral presence for Taranaki Māori, while its near-symmetrical profile has made it one of New Zealand’s most recognisable landforms.
