Days can be spent casting your line between Porangahau Beach 12 minutes (8.7km) to the east or Whangaehu Beach 33 minutes (22.7km) to the south, swinging your golf club or tennis racket the Porangahau Country Club while the close by village of Porangahau is well equipped with a well-stocked dairy and pub that's popular among the locals. The good life is well and truly calling!
