Ōpōtiki Golf Club

The brainchild of Colin Hughes, these picturesque tiles were designed and created by a team of 12 artisans from the Whakatane Society of Arts and Crafts.

This picturesque, well-groomed 18-hole course is on flat, easy walking land and is adjacent to the Tarawera River with mountain views and bird life adding to the enjoyment for players. 

Your four-hour adventure with us includes a marine eco-tour circumnavigating Moutohora (Whale) Island followed by a scenic walk.

A popular spot known to locals as 'The Heads' where the Whakatāne River meets the sea.

Otarawairere is the hidden jewel of the Whakatāne-Ōhope area. This secluded beach is accessible only on foot or by kayak, but the trip is definitely worth the effort.

Drop in to all the best spots in the Mōtū and Te Urewera Ranges. Land and camp, or stay in one of the many huts located in the National Parks.

The gardens comprise rose gardens, a formal entrance, scented garden and areas for bulbs, shrubs and perennials.
