Te Tira Hou (New Generation)

Otarawairere is the hidden jewel of the Whakatāne-Ōhope area. This secluded beach is accessible only on foot or by kayak, but the trip is definitely worth the effort.

Drop in to all the best spots in the Mōtū and Te Urewera Ranges. Land and camp, or stay in one of the many huts located in the National Parks.

Whakatāne's premier movie and entertainment venue, offering a boutique movie experience with comfortable seating and true cinema-quality sound.

At Bushaven's Motu Trails Hire and Shuttle, we can transport you, your bike or tramping gear to any location.

This mural is a collaboration with Ushy Ushy from the Cook Islands and is about the migration of the waka from the Cook Islands to the Bay of Plenty, and keeping the connection alive between all of us. 

The Mataatua waka first landed at Te Toka Tapu, which is sited opposite Turuturu Roimata (Statue Rock) at the Whakatāne river mouth. 

Ōhiwa Harbour offers wonderful paddling, with plenty of beaches to stop for a rest.

Great fun for the little ones. Trains generally run on Sundays from 10 am - until 3 pm, weather permitting.
