Coniston House Bed and Breakfast is situated within 15 minutes of the many attractions and activities the Bay of Plenty offers.   Walk along the beautiful white sandy beaches, climb or walk the famous Mount Mauao and enjoy the magnificent views. You can then relax at one of the numerous cafes and award winning restaurants in Mount Maunganui or on Tauranga's waterfront.  

Soak in the unique hot saltwater pools and view the Mount from a totally different perspective. You may enjoy playing a round of golf at one of the many courses, swimming with the dolphins, or trying your luck at deep sea fishing. Tauranga offers a world of exploration to enjoy.

The Bayfair Shopping Centre is only minutes away, if you are  looking for some "retail therapy".

Some of our favourite recommendations:

• Walk the Tauranga Historic Heritage Trail
• Try the ultimate land-sailing experience “blokarting”
• Visit the Military and Classic Flyers Museum and view some of the classic and vintage aircraft they have on display
• Take a scenic flight over Mount Mauao
• Enjoy canoeing on Lake McLaren and view the spectacular glow worm canyon
• Mills Reef Winery
• Tect Arena ~ Concert Venue/ Sporting Events Centre

Enjoyable day trips include Katikati: the Mural Town, Waihi, where you can walk right to the edge of Waihi’s huge open pit gold mine. A trip to Waihi would not be complete without a visit to Waihi Beach, Bowentown and Omokoroa. Rotorua, Cambridge and Taupo are also easy day trips. 

Whakatane is an hour away and a tour of White Island, our active volcano, is an exhilarating experience.  

We are in an ideal central location to use as a base for a few days of sightseeing and exploration.   We offer advice along with planning and booking the wide range of activities the Bay of Plenty and surrounding area has to offer.
