Welcome to Tolaga Bay |
55km from Gisborne

Tolaga Bay is larger than most of the settlements on this coast and the home of The Tolaga Bay Holiday Park, Tipuna Tours, Uawa Garage and The Tolaga Bay Inn which is one of the last remaining historical hotels on the East Coast. It has served the community and travellers for over 130 years. This country pub is now a community hub including an information centre.
The town boasts a nine-hole golf course, bowling club and skate park. The streets of this town are named after Captain Cook’s crew. Cook cast anchor here in 1769. The beach at Tolaga Bay is excellent for swimming and fishing and adequate facilities are available for boat launching.

The very long jetty served as a wharf for the area in the days of coastal shipping. A very popular fishing spot, this is also the start of the 5km Cook’s Cove Walkway (2.5 hours) which provides spectacular views of Cook’s Cove and the hole in the cliff wall.
