Location

When location matters for growing of produce, the Bay of Plenty has it all - the climate, the population and the networks. Te Puke is located in the Western Bay of Plenty on the east coast of New Zealand's North Island and is within two and half hour's drive of 44% of New Zealand's population. With a population of over 134,000, Tauranga city is at the Bay of Plenty region's heart.

The Western Bay of Plenty covers 208,472 hectares, stretching approximately 90 kilometres along the coastline from Waihi in the north to Te Puke in the south and about 32 kilometres inland to the rugged, bush covered Kaimai Ranges. The landscape of Tauranga is dominated by three key features: the harbour, the 232 metre high Mount Maunganui (Mauao) where you will find one of New Zealand's most popular beaches.

Just 15 minutes from the Mount you will find Te Puke, the Kiwifruit Capital of the World. It is a picturesque rural service town located 20 km southeast of Tauranga City and has a warm temperate climate. It receives between 2,200 and 2,500 hours of sunshine per year, making it one of the sunniest places in New Zealand. Summer daytime temperatures average 22-24 degrees Celsius (70-75, Fahrenheit) and in winter 16-18 degrees Celsius (60-65, Fahrenheit). The average annual rainfall for the area is approximately 1,500 mm per annum.

Te Puke is surrounded by farms and orchards the latter being what put Te Puke on the world stage with the help of Zespri and a well known fruit called the kiwi. If fishing and diving in the sea that is nearby is not your thing then there are lakes for swimming, water skiing and trout fishing; mountains for hunting, tramping and mountain biking. Captain Cook rightly named this area the Bay of Plenty this place caters to all ages with plenty to keep the mind occupied.
