The walk around Tauwhare is an opportunity to learn something of the district’s history and enjoy brilliant views over the harbour to Ohakana Island, Port Ōhope and the East Cape.
Ōhiwa Harbour, the southern half of Ōhope, offers plenty of opportunities for sightseeing, walks, fishing, kayaking, and more — especially at the Ōhope Wharf.
Bordered by the Whakatāne River on one side and bush-clad cliffs on the other, Whakatāne's commercial centre must have one of the most scenic settings any town could wish for.
