A fusion of Mediterranean, Italian and Greek flavours. Talk to Mary or Emmanuel and tell them we say hi! This is one of our favorites stops on the way through town. With their great section of food and drinks and extensive seating this is a great place to take large groups or the family. Ask for the Al Camino special pizza (Dave's favorite!) and I'm sure you will struggle to finish it! With a beautiful water front setting of the Mercury Bay this place is only 41 minutes drive from your accommodation.

Sightseeing

This is place is totally worth a mention and has a very special place in my heart - where I got married! If you are into the quiet sounds of a soft rolling shore and the kind of sand that is so white and fine it squeaks when you walk on it. This is the place you can't miss!! Within an hours drive of your accommodation it is well worth the wait to get there. Stop off Lukes kitchen on the way home and grab your self a wood fired pizza that will blow your socks off.

Mount Paku summit. If you want to get a full view of Tairua this is the place to go. Situated on one of the highest walking points in Tairua this is a great place to take photos. Park your car on Paku drive next to the playground and walk the historical track up through the bush to the summit. Its worth the walk. Keep in mind this is an uneven walking track with steps but great to do the kids

One of the best places on the Coromandel Pennisula. Situated a short drive from Otama beach this place is great for diving, sight seeing and great for the family. A little under an hour and a quarter from your accommodation its well worth the drive and sightseeing on the way to visit this amazing place. Please note the road to this place is mostly tar seal but does have a few gravel areas along the way, the road gets quite high in places and is a little windy so not the best for the members of the family that easily get car sick. Some beautiful views along the way though.
