OPOTIKI by NATURE

Looking out towards Waiotahe.







We are unique.

By nature we are provided with such geographical features that make Opotiki and it's people, individually and communually different from other parts of New Zealand.
Geographically we are on an amazing, virtually untouched piece of coastline. Surrounded by hills and valleys, and meandering roads, but also close enough to the cities of Gisborne, Rotorua and/or Tauranga. Those that need what the cities have to offer, know their journey will only take a couple of hours, will be very picturesque and the roads will lead them home again.




A wonderful outlook over Ohiwa








By nature, our townsfolk are friendly, interested, active and community minded. Because of these things our town is able to host numerous activities where, we not only get to bring people into town, they get to benefit from our hospitality, generousity and overall good looks. Our calendar is annually filled with community initiated events brought about by the hard work and local sponsorship of our citizens, and some well organised fun raising initiatives.



A little micro-climate all of it's own.








By nature, our horticulture industry (kiwifruit) is experiencing some great returns for our hard working orchardists. In a time when other business' are facing a very uncertain future globally, the local industry is thriving and expanding. The climate and soil here are very conducive to good production.

Opotiki by nature is who and what we are, and that's okay as those are essential qualities that lead to the good life.
