A stroll in Tauranga

Tauranga is the largest city and port in the Bay of Plenty region of New Zealand. Tauranga has plenty of sunshine, warm climate, and fertile soil. Tauranga is a very quiet small city, the whole city is like a resort. The bustling city is close to the original beaches, and there are many bars on the beach, which is a good place for vacation and leisure.

Fish face. Address - 107 Maunganui Road, Mount Maunganui 3116 Ambiance/Facilities - Highlights - The Tuna sesame scared with avocado wasabi mousse and ponzu was to die for. The MUSSELS ,Steamed in creamy white wine garlic & herb sauce was really disappointing. Way to salty and to hard to eat!! with garlie bread Avg. Price per Person - Appetizer, main , deserts and a glas of wine came down to around 70-80 NZD per person. Rating - 3 out of 5. The food was alright and the service great!

New Zealand North Island

#2023 tripblazers Tauranga is situated in the Bay of Plenty at the North Island of New Zealand. It has an airport with flights to Wellington and Auckland but I suggest you hire a car for the 3 hour trip. Roads are not too good once you get away from the city and trips take longer. The weather is nice and relatively and it is a beautiful drive. The houses and streets do take you back in time but once you reach Tauranga you will be impressed with the beautiful beach and fresh air. The town has a number of restaurants and lovely streets with many citrus trees, advocado trees and kiwi plantations can be found around. Wine is grown nearby but I was shocked by the prices, some 2 or 3 times more than NZ wine costs in Europe. Lovely walks around Mount Maungaui and find your own sea food including abalone. If you have a car I recommend a visit to the towns around including Rotorua with it's steam rising from the ground and spring water. Rotorua is a nice town with good restaurants (great Korean food) and I can recommend a stay in the Holiday Inn next to the spring spa. Other visits in the area are the Hobbiton Movie Set, Taupo and Hamilton.

This little mountain in New Zealand is sooo beautifull! On top you have a clear view and with luck you can even see the volcano! 🙊 The beaches are are breathtaking with sweet little cafés in between.
