"New Lonely Planet guide urges us to stay green"
Loney Planet New Zealand Guide 14th Edition.
WESTERN BAY OF PLENTY
“This is where New Zealanders have come on holiday for generations, lapping up salt-licked activities and lashings of sunshine.” (p. 341)
TAURANGA
“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.” (p. 341)
“In 2007, the eagerly awaited Tauranga Art Gallery opened its doors and what an asset it is to the town. Presenting historic and contemporary art,
it houses a permanent collection along with frequently changing local and visiting exhibitions. The building itself is a former bank, although you’d
hardly know it – it’s an altogether excellent space with no obvious compromise (cue: applause!).” (p. 342)
WAIMARINO ADVENTURE PARK
“The best kayak trip, however, is the glow-yak – a magical after-dark journey at McLaren Falls Park where you slip into a secret glow-worm filled
wonderland.” (p. 343)
MT MAUNGANUI
“It’s famous for the beautiful beaches, one either side, and was made even saucier still when its 100m artificial surf reef opened in 2005.” (p. 348)
“Just when you think the Mount township has plenty of good eating options, you discover the high-density strip of super-duper delights at the
Mauao end of Marine Parade...” (p. 348)
PAPAMOA
“Papamoa is a fast-growing suburb near the edge of the Mount, separated now by just a paddock or two also destined for subdivision. Burgeoning
with big new houses on pristine streets, parts of Papamoa have the air of a gated community about them. That said, the beaches beyond the
sheltering dunes are truly spectacular, so you can’t blame folk for moving in.” (p. 352)
Food: “The slightly creepy Fashion Island shopping precinct (Gravatt Rd) has a slew of international stodgoramas and the odd independent café.”
(p. 352)
TE PUKE
“Te Puke offers a rare opportunity to brush up on your kiwifruit knowledge. Where did it come from? What exactly does it contribute to NZ’s cultural
and economic life? And should you eat that brown, fuzzy skin?” (p. 352)
EASTERN BAY OF PLENTY
“Stretching from Maketu to Opotiki, the Eastern Bay of Plenty’s main drawcard is long stretches of sandy beaches with a backdrop of cliffs covered in
majestic pohutukawa trees. It’s beautiful country, and often overlooked, which is absolutely integral to its charm.” (p. 353)
WHAKATANE
“A true Pohutukawa paradise … It’s the hub of the Rangitaiki agricultural district, but there’s much more to Whakatane than farming, with blissful
beaches and volcanic Whakaari (White Island) for starters.” (p. 353)
