Introducing Tauranga
Tauranga has been booming since the 1990s and remains one of NZ’s fastest-growing cities. The increasingly busy port serves the land for miles around, but it’s the migrants (many from Auckland) and holidaymakers who have seen the old workhorse reborn as a show pony. Restaurants and bars line the revamped waterfront, fancy hotels rise high, and the once-sleepy suburbs of Mt Maunganui and Papamoa have woken up to new wealth and homogeny.

Tauranga is the place to fulfil all your wet dreams. With two marinas chock-a-block with beautiful boats, sandy surf beaches and water sports aplenty, this is about as Riviera as NZ gets.
