Beyond Know How

Te Puke, named humbly ‘the hill’ by the Maori, this fertile site in the Bay of Plenty now calls itself the ‘Kiwifruit Capital of the World’ – with some justification.

Pioneered by Ulstermen in the 19^th century, and a market gardening centre since, the town now has over 7000 busy inhabitants. The population has more than doubled in two decades. Kiwifruit Country, an educational and recreational centre, offers guided tours through an extensive kiwifruit and horticultural theme park.

Only a 20 minute drive from down town Tauranga, Te Puke is growing larger every year since house prices are cheaper than buying in Tauranga, Mount Maunganui or Papamoa. Te Puke is also only a 30 minute drive from Rotorua which makes it the perfect small town to live and commute from.
