The 6 Best Sports Complexes in Bay of Plenty Region, North Island
The Bay of Plenty (Māori: Te Moana-a-Toi) is a large bight in the northern coast of New Zealand's North Island. It stretches from the Coromandel Peninsula in the west to Cape Runaway in the east, a wide stretch of some 259 km of open coastline. The Bay of Plenty Region is situated around this body of water, also incorporating several large islands in the bay. The bay was named by James Cook after he noticed the abundant food supplies at several Māori villages there, in stark contrast to the earlier observations he had made in Poverty Bay.

Welcome to "The Wall " Rotorua's Indoor Climbing facility. Looking for something different to do? Then come try indoor rock climbing. The Wall is open 7 days - rain, hail or shine and is located right in the centre of town. Our wall is almost 20m at the highest point. We have 56 different climbs, 28 lead climbs and 30 top ropes. We have a 17m caving ladder that the kids love (big kids too)

We made a detour to Kawerau, as I had read about the pools, and the waterfall. We stayed on a freedom campsite just behind the pool area, and spend about four hours using this amazing free facility. What a credit to Kawerau town. Pools of varying temperatures, a little play park, lawn and benches, and immaculately clean changing rooms. The two lifeguards were super friendly. A real little gem.

We attended the first two days of Mount Maunganui's first ever Test match, v England. We had one day in a hospitality marquee where the Kiwis on our table were friendly and we had a bit of banter about cricket and the World Cup, and some more general chats about New Zealand, their work, our holiday and our background: we felt very welcome. The next day we were on the terrace, with a chair and table, but spent some time on the grassy bank with friends. Food and drink offerings, all temporary, were diverse and of good quality. Being built as a bowl, there are great sightlines, and it's possible to wander round the ground and still watch the cricket Great place - highly recommended
