Tauranga is one of New Zealand’s fastest growing cities with a population of 123,000.

The city lies in the north-western corner of the Bay of Plenty, on the south-eastern edge of Tauranga Harbour.

The popularity of Tauranga relates to two things primarily. The port of Tauranga is a major export point for fruit, farm and forestry products. Secondly, its climate and beaches make it a very popular holiday and retirement destination.
