| The city is a hub for the lower North Island and a centre of tertiary education and scientific research. It is home to Massey University which has a world wide reputation for research in agriculture, horticulture, veterinary and food sciences. Here in New Zealand, all road, rail and air routes are said to geographically centre on Palmerston North, and the international standard Kingsgate Hotel Palmerston North. As a major junction for New Zealand's transportation networks, Palmerston North has become a popular events and convention centre. A city that also caters to the most ardent leisure-seeker; white water rafting, horse treks, heritage trails and shopping. All rooms in the tower complex offer extensive views over Palmerston North. Kingsgate Hotel Palmerston North also caters for business meetings with its 4 conference rooms, all offering modern conference equipment.
