Kuaotunu

Kuaotunu is a small, laid-back village approximately 20 minutes north of Whitianga on the Coromandel Peninsula.

Surfers, artisans, artists, fishermen, farmers, families, retirees, holiday makers - the Kuaotunu community ebbs and flows like the sea that we are privileged to live beside.

Total Fire Ban in Place

NO open fires and NO fireworks are permitted anywhere in Kuaotunu, whether on public or private property.

There has been very little rain in recent weeks, vegetation is drying out rapidly and the fire risk is steadily climbing.

Please use your common sense and obey the rules. If your actions are found to have caused a fire you will be charged for the costs involved in putting it out.
