Whether you're here to kick ass or kick back, life in Manawatū is flexible, smooth and liberating. There's no template to fit and no rat race to run, leaving you free to live life as you fancy.
The region spans 2,624 km² and encompasses breathtakingly beautiful parks, rivers and mountain ranges, including the famous Tararua and Ruahine Ranges, and sweeps out to the rugged west coast beaches of Himatangi and Tangimoana. Over 120,000 people choose to call Manawatū home, and with a diverse landscape like this it’s easy to see why!
Hop in the car and you’re less than two hours from Wellington and one hour from Whanganui. It’s also an easy drive to North Island ski fields, Hawke’s Bay wineries and Mount Taranaki. What makes Palmerston North city and Manawatū more liveable than most, is the world class education, flourishing industries and a safe environment for raising a family.
It's often said that owning a business means that you can never switch off, sacrificing family time and recreation for the financial benefits that a business brings. For Dr Tregon Singh and Dr Prabhpreet Kaur, going into business in Manawatū has had the opposite effect.
We're excited to have you join our community! Keep scrolling to discover essential information about living, working, and playing in Palmy and Manawatū to help you settle in and enjoy our epic region.
