Tauranga, New Zealand Community
Tauranga, New Zealand
Welcome to the beautiful Bay Of Plenty. In our area we can offer good roads without too much traffic, unspoiled back country gravel roads, historic places and friendly people.
Crump Country
We are the stepping off place for:
- The fabulous remote East Cape
- The exciting Coromandel - a biker's dream
- Within an hour of Rotorua with its lakes, its thermal activity and its Maori culture experiences
- Two hours from Lake Taupo and the famous rainbow trout fishery.
- A little more than an hour from university city Hamilton and the annual Agricultural Fieldays
- And of course only two hours from Auckland International airport
- Tauranga itself has the popular Mount Maunganui surf beach: the Port of Tauranga is NZ's busiest: and Te Puke is the home of our fantastic kiwifruit. Be sure to try one before you leave NZ.
Bring your work permit and a willingness for hard work as there is plenty of seasonal kiwifruit work available, particularly around April - June.
The Tauranga community is able to advise and assist you and has a depth of local knowledge that they are willing to share.
