Te Puke Information

Te Puke is in close proximity to Tauranga, Mount Maunganui, Papamoa, and Maketu, which are all coastal towns/cities, as well as the small townships of Waitangi and Paengaroa. It is also 60 kilometres from Rotorua and 75 kilometres from Whakatane.

The town's name means The hill, and, despite the obvious temptation to do otherwise, should be pronounced to rhyme with "rookie". This name is reflective of its location, as it is on a hill near the Papamoa Hills.

The warm, moist climate and fertile soils of the region make it a very favourable horticultural district, with conspicuous production of many citrus fruits such as lemons and oranges and kiwifruit. The town markets itself as the "Kiwifruit capital of the world". Livestock are also farmed, notably dairy cattle. Rural Te Puke contains many fruit orchards.

Attractions:
Perhaps the most notable attraction in Te Puke is Kiwi 360, or Kiwifruit Country, with its famous landmark the giant kiwifruit. There is a tour through the orchards, on the KiwiKart, on which you can learn about the processes used to harvest and export the kiwifruit, as well as a café and shop.

You can learn about Comvita, which manufactures honey and health products, and buy their products at their shop.

Te Puke Vintage Auto Barn, situated next door to Kiwi 360, has an impressive range of vintage cars.
