Beautiful setting over the harbour and a top class restaurant, especially for seafood. Definitely try the Seafood Chowder! Easier to get in for lunchtime, or otherwise must book for evenings.

A true Italian restaurant. We often go here to share a wonderful Antipasto del Mare, a scrumptious selection of calamari, prawns, mussels, salmon and scallops with pita bread. Delicio!

Sightseeing
This is an iconic walk around an extinct volcano, Mount Maunganui. Shaded by overhanging Pohutukawa trees this is a very scenic, coastal walk. Watch the ships sailing in through the narrow channel, enjoy the waves crashing on the rocks, spot the seals basking below. Finish up at Copenhagens for an icecream in a waffle cone. My favourite is frozen yohurt.

Parks & Nature
This beautiful virgin forest is just 1 km up the road from us and offers several walks. Feel an immediate sense of peace and tranquility when being in the forest. Three walks to choose from - the 30 min Rimu loop walk, the 1.5 hour waterfall walk, 1.5 hour Trig walk to see the panoramic view of the bay.
