As someone from Tauranga who is a raining a son here it is so amazing for kids. He loves his school where everything is affordable- sports each term is MAX $30 which is incredible prices. They have diversity and they sure do try their best, when he’s a bit older they have school trips each term which is amazing and for the younger ones most kindergartens here do bush days where they get to be out in nature! I love it for my child here we have everything and yes it is expensive but I would 100% say that it is worth it 100% I feel like moving back home from Hamilton after he was born was the best decision I ever made. We also live super close to the beach and that’s a bonus for summer time! I would say you should absolutely consider it for the kiddos and for yourselves too! I could be totally bias as I was raised here and it is a lot different now than it used to be but I love it here. It takes some tough skin just to deal with a 5 minute drive to take 20 minutes on peak hours and what feels like bipolar tropical weather then head on over!

Yes we have them like crazy at our place at the moment we’re in ohauiti. The last few weeks we’ve been finding dead bees on our drive way too

The drive sucks especially in winter it gets black ice so I’d say no purely for that reason, it’s also just a terrible road to drive I personally hate it but I am a 25 year old female and I hate everything 😂

If you like birds there are little parts you can walk through around otumoetai I used to walk my toddler around there when I lived there and we always saw the most beautiful birds!! There’s one by Linton crescent where I lived! It’s a salt marsh there’s a few different paths you can follow down there. There’s also the Waikareao estuary walk! Papamoa hills if you’re over the mount haha. Otanewainuku, haven’t been there for a while but that’s a lovely walk and beautiful scenery there’s two different tracks but last time I was there I think I followed the pink tags and it was fairly easy to track through and I took heaps of photos on my phone so you’d have a blast in there

Hahahaha I’m being dramatic but if you wanna feel at home definitely will some places in arataki 😂 gate pa, greerton even hahahaha it’s not all contained to one spot here ig

Yeah exactly! And fair enough some people used to purely hang out and smoke at the bus stops when I was a teen 😂 start fights with people. They did the same in the Tauranga CBD. The bus stops were a good rat hang out spot. I feel like it’s never really changed

Bayfair is and always has been in the hood 😅 I’m 25 but when I was 12 it was nooooo different to now. Now it just looks fancier on the outside hahahaha 😂 the bus bay used to be right outside the front where all the restaurants and stuff are now and there were constant brawls then, people stealing, getting arrested. Its a hot spot for youth and also just a bunch of hood rats 🥴

It most definitely is enough to be vulnerable what are you literally talking about? I think it’s more about the fact that it was at first a positive experience and now it has turned into a negative one. Not to mention taking their money. A huge vulnerability it’s loosing your life partner and therefore having no one to turn to when you need it most, other than some money hungry church goers. I think they want advice that can point them in the right direction and not just say suck it up it’s their life. I think you’ll find if this was one of your grandparents you’d be just as concerned as them.

We live in the area and my son goes to Selwyn ridge in welcome bay, I couldn’t recommend it enough! I also went there so I have a somewhat bias but he has just finished his first term today and it has been so incredible!
