Other Regions

The surrounding regions of Whakatane are nearby and offer something special in their own unique way. Just over the hill is the beautiful Ohope Beach which has a small population catered for by a number of shops and services. Further East is the town of Opotiki which is fast becoming a popular tourist and relocation detination in its own right. Inland we have the towns Awakeri, Edgecumbe, Kawerau and Murupara. All these places are within minutes of each other and the surrounding farmland, beaches, lakes, rivers and bush.
