Tucked away in a quiet corner of the Tarakani region, the Urenui locals go to great lengths to stay on the tourist radar.

The Urenui River flows past this sleepy settlement to spill into the North Taranaki Bight. The locals are a hoot. They’ll tell you that Urenui means “large male parts” in Māori, while it could also just mean “great courage.” During the annual sheep-shearing competition in the pub, competitors have to pedal a bicycle to power up the shears and the yearly Naki Run Amuck sees hundreds of muddy runners stampede through town.

"The location of the property suited us well because of the proximity to the beach. Very clean linen and comfortable bed. The general cleanliness of the unit let it down. The floor was very dirty and under the bed had obviously not been looked at for some time. Otherwise, good service."
