Welcome to Whanarua Bay

246km from Gisborne
Picture
Whanarua Bay is considered by many to be the prettiest bay on the coast.  The climate  here, as on so much of the coast, is without equal in New Zealand and as some claim, in  the world - Whanarua Bay has its own sub-tropical micro climate. The small beach is ideal  for picnics, swimming & snorkelling. Access to the bay is over private land and vehicle  access & parking is limited during peak holiday season. Caution is required at all times.  Visitors are asked to walk the short distance down to the beach. There is also a walking  track through untouched native forest to a beautiful waterfall, starting at the bridge over  the Whanarua Stream. Access is over private land and permission must be obtained from  the Park family (Ph. 07-325 2034). This waterfall is Waahitapu (sacred) to local Māori,  please treat the track and bush with appropriate respect. 
Pacific Coast Macadamias
Our sub-tropical  plantation  is open daily during the summer months for espresso coffee and macadamia products.
The Homestead Bed & Breakfast
Dinner by arrangement. Beautiful panoramic view of Whanarua Bay and beyond to White Island. 8523 SH35
