AN IDYLLIC LOCATION

Being just a few minutes over the Whakatane river from Whakatane’s main urban area, located on it’s own beach, Coastland’s has a very tranquil atmosphere, where there is no real ambient noise apart from the birds singing and the soothing sound of the sea lapping the shoreline.

Because of the land orientation Coastlands receives views of both the coast and the countryside. The northern sea views take in off-shore islands and the rural views include the Urewera National Park with Mounts Edgecumbe and Tarawera, to the south.

CLOSE TO TOWN

Just over the river from Whakatane's main urban area, Coastlands country atmosphere is just a short 3 to 5 minute drive from The Hub Retail Centre, Kopeopeo Shopping Centre and the Whakatane CBD.  Children are bused direct to Whakatane's many public schools, while Coastlands Pre-School is located on-site in Fishermans Drive.

PART OF THE COMMUNITY

Coastlands has become an in-demand area because of its quality environment and friendly, conscientious community.

Phil and Joanne, who live on Rurima Rise say, “We feel very secure because of the one way system, one way in, one way out.”

There is a great community spirit here, says Pam formerly of Captain’s Cove, “Its a special community, you feel safe out here. Coastlands is great for children, they socialise in a way which rarely happens in other areas."

Swimming & Surfing

You can enjoy the uncrowded conditions at Coastlands Beach. While no beach is safe for children without close supervision, many children and their parents can be seen swimming on most summer days.

The seas of the Bay of Plenty are among the calmest and warmest in NZ because of the presence of a warm ocean current and sheltering from the south by the North Island.

Excellent Fishing

New Zealand's best fishing location, with access to abundant deep sea fishing, surfcasting and freshwater fishing, those with a taste for kaimoana will be well satisfied in Whakatane.

Coastlands is known to be one of the best surf-casting beaches in the area.  Within minutes, you can also engage in any of the many types of fishing known in NZ, including big game, deep sea, surf-casting, scuba-diving, whitebaiting, trout fishing etc.

It is possible to land a big game fish, catch a trout and shoot a deer within 24 hours. The record for this in Whakatane is under 3 hours!

NZ's Sunshine Capital

Whakatane has a relaxed lifestyle and a great deal to offer.

Statistics prove that Whakatane’s weather is amongst the best in NZ.  With the highest sunshine hours in the country and almost 76% of it’s rain falling at night, Whakatane has its own little micro climate.  A narrower temperature band ensures you’ll be warmer in winter and cooler in summer.  You won’t get blown about at Coastlands either.  We have a relatively wind free climate and enjoy light off shore breezes for a good part of the year.

You'll feel good here in Whakatane, especially on those crisp winter days when the sun pours out its warmth on the town.  Everyday feels like a holiday.

Great Cities within one hour's travel

In just one hour’s drive, you could also enjoy the attractions of Rotorua or Tauranga, Whakatane’s nearest city neighbours.
Plus you could be in Auckland within a short 40 minute flight.

Every day, there are a number of return flights to Auckland and hence to anywhere in NZ, or the world for that matter!
