Welcome to Taumarunui!
Our place has been loved by generations of families for our naturally beautiful environment, our colorful heritage and our caring community.
Upcoming Weekly Events
Taumarunui sits on the Adventure Highway (State Highway 4) and starts the Forgotten World Highway in the central King Country of the North Island. Part of the Ruapehu District, Taumarunui is centrally located – detour through here to either Auckland or Wellington.
This is a beautiful scenic route with views of Mt. Ruapehu and the Wanganui River. Taumarunui provides access to the Whanganui National Park, Dual Listed World Heritage Tongariro National Park and the Pureora Timber Trail.
Along these highways of wide-open spaces are many recreational activities and outdoor pursuits such as canoeing, jetboating, fishing, golfing, mountain biking, cycle trails, walks, tramps and rail cart rides along with many others. Taumarunui is a motor home friendly town with free day parking for campervans. Stop here for lunch and visit Cherry Grove or our Arts.
