Eating and staying in Taranaki
300 cafés, restaurants, bars, hotels and motels across 41 towns and suburbs in Taranaki.
Taranaki accounts for 2% of every venue we hold in New Zealand, which makes it the 11th-largest of the 17 regions by venue count. Those 300 venues sit across 41 named towns and suburbs, of which 2 carry at least 20 venues and get a page of their own.
Distribution inside the region is concentrated: New Plymouth (133), Hāwera (37) and Ōakura (17) hold 62% of everything between them. The remaining 39 places average 3.3 venues each — a long tail of small settlements that we list on the nearest town page rather than give an empty page to.
The regional split runs 68% eating to 35% accommodation, against a national 75/25. That is close to the national balance.
91 venues in Taranaki carry a cuisine tag. Measured against the national mix, the region over-indexes on sandwich (9), italian (4) and pizza (16).
Data quality varies by region and it is worth knowing where this one stands: 71 venues here publish opening hours (24% against 23% nationally), 40 list a website, and 2 record step-free access. Everything on this site comes from open data, so coverage reflects what mappers and councils have published — not what exists on the ground.
