Kia ora from the BoTCom team. In this newsletter we point you at some pretty varied stuff – from jazz to hiking (alright, tramping, if you want the Kiwi-ism) to a new dolphin-watching operation.
The Tauranga National Jazz Festival is now in sight, and heading towards a 50-year milestone. For all its longevity, the Jazz Fest has never been predictable - always coming up with an intriguing mix of talent and styles... More... |

Here’s a heads- up on some new pages we’ve added to our ever-evolving site.
With lots of warm swimming weather still ahead (free of the seething summer crowds), we’ve added – yes, we admit – a long overdue guide to beaches of the Western Bay, called Best of the Bay’s Beaches. We’ve packaged up the district’s ten top beaches, and thrown in a bit of advice on how to give surfing a go... More... |

Welcome back to BoTCom as another year cracks along. It’s been a sizzling summer, and not just according to all the locals saying things like ‘it’s been a hot summer just like we used to get!’ It's officially the best holiday weather in years with temperatures in the Bay topping 30-plus. The weather experts say the long, hot, sunny days have been due to a series of anticyclones that normally don't appear until February... More... |

You’ll be looking forward to the holidays we bet, as survivors of the pre-Christmas madness. By now you’ll have helped save the planet with your eco-chic presents. You’ll have adopted an acre of rainforest in South America, and made all those fair trade, socially-conscious, and organic purchases – like the GM-free soy wax aromatic candles. You’ll have wrapped them of course, in recycled paper. What? You made a last minute dash through The Warehouse and bought stuff made of plastic?... More... |

Book Online with Us...to Stay in the Bay
BoTCom has taken a huge step forward – we are now offering realtime, online accommodation bookings. With our new system you can make an immediate booking easily - and pay for it as well. No more clunky boxes to fill out that are emailed to a tourist provider, or emails back and forth.
We have entered a partnership with Vianet, a leader in online booking systems for the tourist industry, to provide this facility. The addition of Vianet booking tools means we can offer a lot more to travellers who surf our site, before coming to Tauranga. ... More... |

Apologies for a late despatch from the front line. We’ve only just completed our October newsletter, so pacy has life been hereabouts – a simmering brew of artistic happenings with the Tauranga Arts Festival in full flight, and the Tauranga Art Gallery opening its doors. We have details on parts of the Arts Fest that are continuing (see below), and one act which will return this summer. And we have a quick ‘guide to the Gallery’ and its first exhibitions – a sneak preview for visitors to Tauranga and busy locals who haven’t got there yet
New additions to BoTCom will appeal to all sorts of people. Lord of the Rings fans should gallop at breakneck speed, like Dark Riders on P, to our review of Hobbiton - a fun bit of Middle Earth less than an hour’s drive from Tauranga. Hobbiton is something rather special - especially perhaps for you LOR fans from abroad. We are lucky to have a Hobbit habitat close by. They’re endangered you know... More... |

We’re heading into spring faster than you can blather about ‘spring has sprung,’ and ‘new beginnings.’ In downtown Tauranga quite a few hardy folk shrugged off winter and rolled into action early, launching new eateries and drinkeries (for want of a better word) . Others have given their businesses major facelifts – all adding colour and flavour to Tauranga’s hospot scene... More... |
