Conveniently situated at the eastern base of the peninsula, it offers a great location to explore the attractions of the surrounding areas, whilst still being relatively close to Tauranga and Auckland as well. Just an hour away from Hot water beach and Hahei as well as Tauranga in the opposite direction, you’ll have plenty of activities to do! If you are looking to seek some shelter from the sun, travel up to the forests and mountains, finding streams, rivers, and waterfalls. Find your happy place in Whangamata!
