Events
Surf & Sand is undoubtedly one of the best venues in the Bay of Plenty. Not only is the actual location of the venue and its surrounding 5 acres of park ‘right on the beach’ an envied location, it proudly owns several titles. Ohope Beach is ‘NZ’s most loved beach’, it has retained the TOP sunshine hours for several years now and runner up for several more, plus we are officially the Kiwi Capital of NZ.
Surf & Sand venue hosts the annual Classics At Ohope event, bi-annual Whakatane Wedding Fair including a number of events from Nadia Lim book signing, The Kiwi Trust kiwi chick release ceremony, family reunions and celebrations and more.
The NZ Sevens, Samoa Sevens, National Surf Life Saving, Fiji Rugby World Cup team and the Waikato Magic Netball are some of the sporting teams to have used our venue and accommodation as a base while training and performing in our region.
Situated at the end of an 11 kilometer stretch of land reaching out parallel with the beach and Ohiwa Harbour – the jewel in the crown – tucked in behind us, we are perfectly placed for your special event.
