Tolaga Bay Wharf, one of New Zealand’s longest piers, stretches 660 metres out into the bay and remains one of the most recognisable landmarks along the East Coast. 🌊

Built in 1929, the wharf once played a vital role in connecting this remote part of Tairāwhiti with the rest of the country, with ships bringing in farming supplies and transporting locally produced meat and wool.

Today, the wharf is no longer a working port and public access is restricted, but its impressive concrete structure still stands nearly 100 years later as an important piece of local history.

As Matariki rises, we take time to remember those who have passed, celebrate the present, and look ahead with hope. Matariki is a time of reflection, connection, and renewal, bringing whānau and communities together to acknowledge the past year and set intentions for the year to come. 🌠

Here in Tairāwhiti, we honour the season by slowing down, reconnecting with whenua and moana, and embracing the values of manaakitanga and kaitiakitanga that guide us forward. ✨

Wishing everyone a meaningful Matariki. 🌟

It might be the middle of winter, but Anaura Bay looks stunning in every season.

About 1.5 hours north of Gisborne, and the drive itself is half the reason to go.

Quiet beaches, clear water and not many people once you arrive. Doesn’t get much better.
