North Egmont Hostel “Where Worries Slid© off Egmont’s Slopes” T»ICH as New Zealand is in mountain scenery. -LV enjoyment of much of its grandeur is necessarily denied the average holiday-maker on account of its inaccessibility, transport and accommodation difficulties. In this respect Mt. Egmont is peculiarly favoured, being one of the very few jierfeet snow-clad peaks in the world. Rising almost from sea-level to an altitude of 8.260 feet, it is encircled by a perfect motoring road of 100 miles circumference, from which splendid roads lead through the primeval forest up the mountain sides for over 3,000 feet —one of the mofit popular being that from New Plymouth to. the North Egmont Hostel, a distance of only 20 miles. For nearly four mi.les the road is cut through the virgin forest, a paradise for the botanist and the bush lover. The Hostel is a modern establishment replete with every facility for the comfort of visitors. Spacious dining-rooms, lounges with dancing floors, specially heated bedrooms, with such modern indoor amenities as wireless, billiards, etc., affords homelike rest and contentment for guests after the outdoor exertions of the day. . . From the windows of the Hostel the visitor has a view unexcelled almost anywhere, overlooking the whole of the province of North Taranaki land and seascape, while from other vantage points inland views embracing the central mountains of Ngaruhoe and Ruapehu, the Taranaki towns encircling the - mountain, and even the highlands of the South Island are within the range of vision. The cost of a holiday at Mt. Egmont is within the resources of every holiday-seeker, and the health-giving benefit of a sojourn in the pure atmosphere of a 3,000 feet elevation is assured. . For information regarding accommodation, visitors may apply to the Secretary— L. W. LOVELL, A.M.P. Bldgs., New Plymouth.
