Tairua is a small friendly holiday town on the Eastern coast of the rugged and bush-clad Coromandel Peninsular.
Tairua offers spectacular Coromandel views from many vantage points. We have been told the lookout at the summit of Mount Paku (our location) in one overseas publication, is rated as one of best 100 views in the world.
From there a 360 degree panorama takes in off-shore islands of the Mercury Group, the Aldermen Group and closer inshore, Shoe and Slipper Islands (all named by Captain Cook). Continuing the vista, we look over the neighbouring resort town of Pauanui, the Tairua Harbour which merges into the Tairua River and stretches up to the mountainous backbone of the Coromandel Peninsular. Swinging further round we take in the sweep of golden sand that is the Tairua Ocean Beach, popular with surfers.
A number of Charter and Fishing Boats operate from the Tairua and Pauanui wharves and a passenger ferry service runs regularly between the two.
Tairua is a centre for recreational divers with the offshore islands being a great attraction Bush walking and tramping are also popular and local expert operators can conduct personalized tours through our native bush and inland scenic opportunities with safety and comfort.
Our 18 hole golf course welcomes green fee players and has equipment for hire.
