Living in the Bay of Plenty

Situated in the sunny eastern coast of New Zealand’s North Island , the Bay of Plenty really is just that! The Bay of Plenty offers golden sand beaches, bush clad mountains, lush farmlands and more. Its pleasant climate means that the area has become a favourite base for both holidays and retirement.

The people of the Bay of Plenty love sports and the outdoors and make the most of the recreational facilities that abound on their doorstep such as boating, surfing, fishing, diving, mountain biking and tramping, as well as the traditional team sports of rugby, netball and cricket.

And don’t forget about the vibrant food and entertainment focus with cafes, live music pubs, cinemas and live theatres.
