Tanners Point

Tanners Point accommodation looks out over the southern end of Tauranga Harbour, a quiet no-exit settlement with Matakana Island across the water.

There is no shop and no through road, just houses along the shoreline and the tide moving in and out of the harbour. Katikati is a short drive inland for supplies, and the open surf at Waihi Beach is about fifteen minutes away. Holiday homes here suit people who want the harbour rather than the beach crowds.
