Location:
When location matters for
growing of produce, the Bay of Plenty has it all - the climate, the
population and the networks. Te Puke is located in the Western Bay
of Plenty on the east coast of New Zealand's North Island and is
within two and half hour's drive of 44% of New Zealand's
population. With a population of over 134,000, Tauranga city is at
the Bay of Plenty region's heart.
The Western Bay of Plenty
covers 208,472 hectares, stretching approximately 90 kilometres
along the coastline from Waihi in the north to Te Puke in the south
and about 32 kilometres inland to the rugged, bush covered Kaimai
Ranges. The landscape of Tauranga is dominated by three key
features: the harbour, the 232 metre high Mount Maunganui (Mauao)
where you will find one of New Zealand's most popular
beaches.
Just 15 minutes from the Mount you will find Te Puke, the
Kiwifruit Capital of the World. It is a picturesque rural service
town located 20 km southeast of Tauranga City and has a warm
temperate climate. It receives between 2,200 and 2,500 hours of
sunshine per year, making it one of the sunniest places in New
Zealand. Summer daytime temperatures average 22-24 degrees Celsius
(70-75, Fahrenheit) and in winter 16-18 degrees Celsius (60-65,
Fahrenheit). The average annual rainfall is 1,198 mm, falling below
the national average of approximately 1,400 mm per annum.
Te Puke
is surrounded by farms and orchards the latter being what put Te
Puke on the world stage with the help of Zespri and a well known
fruit called the kiwi. If fishing and diving in the sea that is
nearby is not your thing then there are lakes for swimming,
waterskiing and trout fishing; mountains for hunting, tramping and
mountain biking. Captain Cook rightly named this area the Bay of
Plenty this place caters to all ages with plenty to keep the mind
occupied.
