Introducing Opotiki
This charming town has much to recommend it. The beaches – Ohiwa and Waiotahi – are worth the trip alone, but it’s also the gateway to the East Cape and the rugged forests and river valleys of the Raukumara and nearby ranges. Just recently, an excellent local museum was opened, a credit to the proud townsfolk and yet another good reason to pay a visit.

The Opotiki area was settled from at least 1150, some 200 years before the larger 14th-century migration. Maori traditions are well preserved here, with the work of master carvers lining the main street.
