About Manawatu
Palmerston North is the centre of the Manawatu District, and is convientiently located half way between Rotorua and Wellington, our region combines
the charm of rural New Zealand with the sophisticated provincial appeal of Palmerston North city (affectionately known as Palmy).
The landscape sweeps dramatically from the Ruahine and Tararua mountain ranges, through the spectacular Manawatu Gorge and picturesque
Pohangina Valley, along Manawatu River to the coastal plains of Tangimoana and Himatangi. The region enjoys a mild climate, providing
fantastic growing conditions for the many public, world-class gardens.
