White Island Flights

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.

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. 

One of New Zealand’s most scenic golf courses, uniquely situated between Pacific Ocean on one side and the beautiful, unspoilt Ohiwa Harbour. 

Filled with fresh water from deep underground, it’s the perfect spot for a family picnic and refreshing swim on a hot summer day.

The gardens comprise rose gardens, a formal entrance, scented garden and areas for bulbs, shrubs and perennials. 

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

Venture off the beaten path and into the whimsical realm of Maggie's Funtastic Garden near Edgecumbe, where artist and sculptor Maggie Fenton has created two acres of themed gardens that will delight kids.
