New Plymouth's amazing museum of contemporary art, The Govett-Brewster Art Gallery/Len Lye Centre opened in late July. The building's curved exterior walls of mirror-like stainless steel is reputed to be the first New Zealand example of destination architecture linked to contemporary art. It is also the first institution dedicated to a single artist, the pioneering filmmaker and kinetic sculptor, Len Lye.
With this magnificent new city asset, New Plymouth has never been more tempting for an art focussed short break.
The Devon Hotel, New Plymouth – A Heritage Hotel is the perfect base for a visit to the new gallery and to explore the already thriving local arts scene.
The hotel offers modern rooms, a restaurant and bar, a heated outdoor swimming pool, plus, bicycles for guests to explore the nearby coastal walkway.
Heritage's Devon Hotel has an overnight package with buffet breakfast for two and 500 Mb internet from NZ $171 GST inc. per night.
