Still feeling the cold ? Read our latest Spotlight on how to beat the winter chills locally, by soaking in one or two of the Western Bay’s wondrous hot pools. For space reasons, you’ll find all the pesky details of prices, opening hours, etc online in Things to Do – Hot Pools. We’ve visited all these facilities, sized up prices, improvements, etc, and updated their details. We’ve added Welcome Bay Hot Pools to our pages, along with the Texas Smoke House – in our Food & Wine section. Other tasty morsels in this newsletter include some local masters of the pie-making art. And we cover a couple of other ‘bests’ below. We also touch on Te Puke’s new tourist accommodation... More... |

G’day from a chilly-winds-grey-skies Tauranga. Oh come on, harden up! There’s still plenty to do around the traps. Here’s our usual mid-month catch on up some coming events, and additions to BoTCom.
While we love to go roaming the hills and beaches here at BoTCom, it’s fun to hunker down and indulge in some enjoyable stuff on our doorstep of the hot and sultry variety. Tauranga isn’t known as a Kiwi hot pools capital but it should be. Next newsletter we tour local hot pools, mineral saltwater, etc and give you our tips on the best places to go for a soak...

G’day and welcome to our third newsletter, scribbled in the merry month of May, as winter starts to shove a bit more of the chilly stuff our way (but skifields remain rock-fields).
This month, we’ve begun to give local innovators some of the kudos they deserve, with the first additions to our Local Products & People page. We aim to showcase enterprising locals, their products and inventions. Read up on the out-of-this-world Zajon people and their virtual reality machines. And Lynley Dodd, whether you knew it or not, is huge in a niche export sector – children’s books by the million More... |

G’day, Kia Ora, and a huge thank you for your support and all the words like ‘wonderful’ and ‘fantastic’…music to the ears when you’re hunched over the slave-driving ‘puter slugging back bad coffee.

We’re on the World-wide Web…Where the Hell Have you Been?
Not very original, but now we have your attention - welcome to Best of Tauranga’s (BotCom’s) first newsletter!
www.bestoftauranga.com (aka BotCom) is the first comprehensive, locally-owned and independent, world-wide guide to Tauranga and the wider Western Bay. Our simple aim is ‘views and reviews of everything that’s great in the Western Bay.’
The site is a natural spin-off from The Best of Tauranga – the first independent guide book to the booming Western Bay. The insider’s guide, was launched in November 2005, to critical acclaim from reviewers. It was variously described as ‘a little gem, a bible of information,’ and ‘long overdue.’ More... |
