GNZTR - Bay of Plenty Hot Deals
When 18th Century navigator Captain James Cook sailed into the region aboard the Endeavour, he was so impressed he aptly named it the ‘ Bay of Plenty’.
One of the country’s premier holiday destinations, the Bay of Plenty has long been popular with locals and visitors alike with its white sandy beaches, beautiful harbours and an unbeatable lifestyle.
Just under three hours drive from Auckland, the Bay of
Plenty stretches along the coast from Waihi Beach to Whakatane. The harbourside city of Tauranga is the region’s main centre with the popular seaside resort town of Mount Maunganui located just a short drive across the harbour bridge
How Mauao ‘ Mount Maunganui’ got its name
Mauao is the sacred mountain at the entrance to Tauranga Harbour. Its name, meaning ‘caught in the light of the day’, comes from the legend in which Mauao was once a nameless mountain, spurned in love by the beautiful mountain Puwhenua. One night he bedded the fairy-like creature of the forest to drag him to the ocean and end his misery. But the creatures fled as the morning sun’s rays struck, and he was transfixed on the spot.
