Maketu, New Zealand: A Cultural and Natural Gem in the North Island's Bay of Plenty
Maketu is a seaside town in the Bay of Plenty region of New Zealand's North Island, about 160 kilometers southeast of Auckland and adjacent to Tauranga. It has a rich history as the home of the Ngāti Ranginui Māori tribe and the site of Captain Cook's first landing in New Zealand, and the town's Māori Cultural Center (Te Tumu) is a vibrant showcase of Aboriginal traditions and art. Makaitu is renowned for its quality farming and fishing, with the surrounding fertile land producing a wide variety of fruits and vegetables and the coastline providing fresh seafood. The town's picturesque landscape attracts visitors with golden sandy beaches, tranquil estuaries and surrounding forest trails for surfing, bird fishing and relaxing vacations. As the 'Berry Capital of New Zealand', the annual summer Strawberry Festival is a must-see event that keeps the town alive with charm.
