Located 200km southeast from Auckland, 2.5hours driving on State Highway 2, the popular City of Tauranga and its neighbouring coastal havens of Mount Maunganui and Papamoa Beach.

With a very mild climate throughout the year, it is home to 80% of New Zealand's Kiwifruit export.  As a port city it has a strong fisheries industry and great recreational fishing access.

Beautiful beaches with white sands, its a water sport rich with surfing a popular choice.

Within close proximity to Tauranga is the gateway to the Coromandel peninsula, the tourist town of Rotorua, Lake Taupo and Waitomo Caves, making them great great day trips.
