Blueberry Corner sign

Blueberry Corner

Blueberry Corner’s the favourite among locals known for fresh, quality blueberries, strawberries, raspberries and sensational natural fruit ice creams.

Buy orchard-fresh berries while you watch through viewing windows the sorting and packing of blueberries for domestic and export markets. Visit our busy orchard shop full of blueberry products and enjoy our relaxing playground area.

Only 6 minutes from the hub on the Tauranga highway. Plenty of parking and safe for the kids.

#DiscoverOurLocal guide says: "On the main road between Tauranga and Whakatāne, this is a must stop during the berry season. Freshly picked berries, including the giant Eureka blueberries. Enjoy coffee and homemade berry baking under the garden’s cherry trees or let the kids loose on the giant bouncy pillow after their berry ice creams."
