Enjoy a bit of pampering, shop to your heart’s content or indulge in delicious local foods.
If you’re looking to spoil your taste buds you’re in the right place. The coastal Bay of Plenty is blessed with some of the best soil in all of New Zealand, meaning it’s easy to enjoy local flavours. Most restaurants and cafes make great use of the proximity to fresh produce, seafood and meats.
Kiwifruit is definitely part of that local flavour, and you can try the special gold kiwifruit, kiwiberries and kiwifruit wines.
The region is also a shopper’s haven, with homemade arts and crafts, boutique shopping and one of the biggest indoor shopping centres around.
If you’ve worn yourself out shopping, visit one of the region’s great spas or hot pools for a real treat.
