Stops on this hunt
The Bond Store
Head to The Strand to spot Tauranga's past hidden in brick and mortar. This sturdy storehouse watched the city bustle with traders, dockers, and customs officers eager to make their mark (and collect duty).
War Memorial Gates
Stroll under the ornate War Memorial Gates and sense the city pausing each April, surrounded by names of those who served far from home. This is Tauranga's place for both solemn reflection and community pride.
Old Tauranga Post Office
Find a slice of Old World elegance where locals once lined up for letters and court sessions peered over the harbour. The proud facade and clock tower stand as reminders of Tauranga's leap into the 20th century.
Matariki Constellation Carvings
Brighten your day by exploring these celestial carvings along the waterfront. The Matariki constellation inspires both celebration and reflection and gives locals a modern reason to look skyward.
Te Urunga Sculpture
Admire a bold work of art on Tauranga's waterfront that signals both new beginnings and deep traditions. This sculpture welcomes all who step ashore, blending modern style with timeless sun symbolism.
Monmouth Redoubt
Get your steps in at Tauranga's best-preserved military site, where grassy ramparts and dramatic harbour views reveal tales of strategy, defense, and community under siege.
The Elms Te Papa
Step through time in Tauranga Moana at The Elms. This beautifully preserved site has roots stretching back to early Māori settlement, colonial contact, and key events that shaped the city. The air is thick with stories, heritage trees, and echoes of a world where two cultures met.
Otamataha Pa Mission Cemetery
Wind whispers through wild grass at one of Tauranga's most sacred headlands. This peaceful spot has seen ancient fortifications, loss, renewal, and centuries of remembrance. It's sweeping harbour views make it a cornerstone of the city's story.
