The big drawcard is the proximity to the North end of stunning Tairua Beach. A five-minute walk and you are looking at the beautiful Pacific Ocean, and golden sand. Tairua is a well-known beach for walking, surfing, SUP, swimming, and snorkeling. (There are plenty of dangerous rips at Tairua surf beach, pls talk to us before going in the water, we can advise the best places to swim.)
We have the best of both worlds, the surf beach with fabulous waves, or the inlet for calmer, shallower waters, ideal for those not wanting the waves.
The nearest shops and cafes are a 3-4 min drive away.
Paku Mountain summit climb, for the reasonably fit, is about a 45-1 hour walk. Exceptional views from the top, a MUST DO, even if you drive 3/4 way up and walk the last 15 mins up to the top.
Nearby out-of-town attractions (drive): Sailors Grave Beach – 5min drive.
Hot Water Beach -20 min drive.
Cathedral Cove- 25 min drive to carpark, then 40 min walk.
Whitianga is 40 min drive.
Whangamata is a 30-40 min drive.
Thames is 45 min drive.
All these drives are mountainous/hilly. Definitely not to walk or bike.
Getting Around:
Ideally, you will have your own vehicle.
Buses -not frequent (& you need to book!) go up the coast to the popular tourist attractions and main towns, and back. Bookings are essential! Please plan ahead to avoid disappointment. Hitchhiking is not recommended.
