Workation in Tauranga: the essentials
Tauranga is New Zealand's fifth-largest city, about 160,000 people on a harbour in the Bay of Plenty, with the beach suburb of Mount Maunganui across the bridge as its real draw: a long white-sand surf beach, the extinct volcano Mauao to walk up before work, hot saltwater pools and a strip of cafés. The city has grown fast as Aucklanders moved in, which brought coworking spaces, decent restaurants and very fast fibre, but also some of the country's highest rents relative to income and a car-dependent sprawl. Summers are warm and sunny, winters mild; the region is the country's kiwifruit heartland. The airport has domestic flights only; Auckland is under three hours by road. Rotorua's forests, Whakatane and the Coromandel are weekend trips. Good for a beach-city base without Auckland's scale.
