Egmont National Park is nestled on the slopes of Mount Taranaki, which is a dormant volcano on the western side of New Zealand's North Island. Even though Taranaki region is easily accessible, most tourists ignore it as it is on a path less traveled. It is a shame as Egmont National Park has beautiful scenery, lush temperate rainforest vegetation and this gorgeous waterfall known as the Dawson Falls! The hike to the waterfall is short but with some steep steps, and the view point above is even more easily reached. If you're traveling in the North Island, Egmont National Park is well worth a visit!

Very friendly and helpful staff, easy parking and a central location. We had a two bedroom apartment. I enjoyed the dark, windowless bedrooms after a day hiking to the top of Mt Taranaki, they were very quiet.
