Living in Manawatū
Manawatū is famous for its blend of city and rural living; here you can choose your ideal lifestyle from peaceful rural villages, to bustling townships or city life.
The region includes the charming towns of Feilding, Kimbolton, Āpiti, Himatangi Beach, Linton and Ashhurst to name a few and at the centre of it all is the city of Palmerston North, the lively, multi-cultural heart of the Manawatū.
