Getting to know Whakatane

Whakatāne is a town in the eastern Bay of Plenty region in the North Island of New Zealand, at the mouth of the Whakatāne River.  Whakatāne District is the encompassing territorial authority, which covers an area to the south and west of the town, excluding the enclave of Kawerau.

Whakatāne is one of the sunniest towns in New Zealand. Whakatāne is also known for its fishing – more yellowfin tuna are caught here than anywhere else in the country. Other Whakatāne attractions include the museum, an observatory and Māori historical sites. The Ngā Tapuwae o Toi walkway leads to pā sites (old fortified villages), native forest and seabird colonies. Dolphin and Seal tours, which can include swimming encounters, start in November. There are guided Kayak tours on offer around Ohiwa Harbour and Whale Island. Whakatane is also very close to Ōhope, a 10km white sandy beach, which has a small settlement and is perfect for camping, surfing, walking and relaxing in the sun.

Places to visit in Whakatane

Mataatua: The House That Came Home

In Whakatāne, New Zealand’s longest continually occupied settlement sits the revered Mataatua Wharenui, a fully carved Māori ancestral house that travelled the world for over a century before returning home to its people, the Ngāti Awa Māori tribe of the Eastern Bay of Plenty.  Considered by many as the beating heart of the Ngāti Awa people, a visit to Mataatua is a remarkably personal encounter defined by a rich and genuine insight into history, the customs, the culture and the legendary story of the house that came home.


Visit-Moutohora-Island-with-KING-Rentalcars.jpg
Moutohorā: Island Sanctuary

Moutohorā/Whale Island is a pest-free oasis that is home to a number of New Zealand’s rare and endangered plants, birds and reptiles. Keep an eye out for a threatened tūturiwhatu/New Zealand dotterel, boisterous tīeke/North Island saddleback, Tuatara, or kākāriki/red-crowned parakeet as you journey through the regenerated native bush before you dig yourself a soothing geothermal spring pool at Onepū Bay, Moutohorā’s secluded hot water beach.
