Taumarunui
New Zealand
Sitting on the upper Whanganui River in New Zealand's central North Island, Taumarunui is a pocket-sized King Country town with a café and restaurant scene in its compact centre and direct access to the river's edge. The surrounding terrain is rugged, with mountains close by, and the wider region holds UNESCO World Heritage recognition. The town also sits on State Highway 4 and the North Island Main Trunk railway, making it a practical base for the area.
