From the gentle harbour waters to its surf beaches, its fishing and diving grounds to the scenic bush, the Bay is as much a quiet recreational playground as it is a thriving business and rural community. Key economic elements for the region include Tourism, Horticulture (predominately Kiwifruit and Avocado production), Viticulture, Pastoral farming, Forestry, Housing and Holiday Makers. The rapid growth in the area provides a vibrant living environment from job opportunities to business prospects with a sustainable future. With a mixture of beautiful scenery, great beaches, cafes, restaurants and nightspots it is more than a region; it is a lifestyle. The award winning schools also provide a key reason why Bay of Plenty is proving to be such an attractive destination for both ex Kiwi's and migrants as a place to set up their new life in New Zealand. Conveniently located to Whakatane you will enjoy all that New Zealand's sunniest region has to offer. From some of the country's best coastal beaches providing swimming, surfing, fishing and diving opportunities. For the water sport enthusiasts a short drive takes you to the beautiful lakes of the Rotorua region where the ski lanes and open spaces await along with a lazy trout for dinner.
