The Wagon
Hamburger restaurant
👍 I frequent this joint occasionally. Just for the Blue Vein burger. I quite like this offering of theirs. The tang of the cheese is well offset against the sweetness of freshly sliced pear.

Wairaka Statue, Turuturu Roimata, Whakatāne Heads
Sculpture
😠 A bronze statue put on a sacred rock, to commemorate the passing of an English woman (Mrs Sullivan), using a vague likness of a chief's daughter, and reveered ancestor, Wairaka.

Mataatua: The House That Came Home
Tourist attraction
👍👍 So thankful that we came across this during our visit. We spent almost two hours sharing cultures while witnessing and engaging in traditional spoken and sung lore. The multimedia presentation in the historic lodge was worth the price of admission alone.

Whakatane Hunting and Fishing
Camping store
👍👍 It's so good having an outdoors store in our town. My son needed a lightweight one-man tent for his Duke of Edinburgh hiking adventures. We got what we needed at the store. It's great having knowledgeable people in a small country town giving sound advice at city prices.
