... a short drive from the coast to Rotorua
RELAX OR FILL EVERY DAY
Award-winning Blue Tides B&B accommodation is centrally located on the coast at Bay of Plenty's Maketu Beach, a unique spot off the beaten track in a classic little seaside village only 15 to 30 minutes to Rotorua and the Mount. We regularly see dolphins playing in the surf!
Walk the Maketu beach, play golf or go swimming, or even go horse riding before breakfast. Plan a stress-free day in the Bay of Plenty. Late afternoon return to Blue Tides and stroll down to dinner at the Café on the Surf and watch the sun set.

THE WORD 'RETREAT' CONJURES UP AN IMAGE OF A RESTFUL PLACE — a place of simple pleasures, and accommodation in an environment that feels just as comfortable and natural as a second skin.

AUTHENTIC NZ SEASIDE VILLAGE
Blue Tides B&B accommodation is a large beach house with a Sea View Unit, located right on the coast in a friendly seaside multicultural village central to all the activities in the Bay of Plenty, North Island, New Zealand.

SO MUCH TO DO
Blue Tides is a destination for nature lovers, where you can be away from the city but have a multitude of tourist attractions to enjoy, with golf courses and shopping centres close enough to enjoy as day trips. Rotorua, Tauranga, Whakatane, White Island, 'The Junction' and Te Puke, where kiwifruit began, are all just a short drive away.

ANCIENT MAORI HISTORY
Maketu is the landing place of the Arawa people. Take a walk through a truly authentic New Zealand village or book a breakfast with our entertaining local historian, and meet the locals. This quality accommodation is known for the stunning estuary, river and coastal panoramic views.

BREAKFAST
Eat alfresco and be entertained by the birds, the colours of the ocean and even dolphins.
Tricia at Blue Tides selects fresh in-season and organic (when available) fruits for you, serves up homemade conserves to tempt your taste buds and brews up a great cup of coffee or selection of teas. Home-made cereals and a selection of hot dishes will set you up for a great day of enjoying the Bay of Plenty.
BEDROOMS
Curl up in front of the fire or snuggle into your quality warm beds with white linen that smells of sunshine, for the best night's sleep you have had for ages. Lovely linens, toiletries, and every extra you may need to feel special. Also, unwind with some massage therapy, which can be arranged.
You have a choice of super-king or queen bedrooms, all with ensuite.
EVENINGS
Enjoy your favourite sundowners on the deck at Blue Tides and see the birds come home to roost on the sand dunes, the tide as it fills the estuary, and the beautiful array of colours fill the sky as the sun slips away. Walk two minutes to the surf's edge for a yummy selection of dishes for your dinner at the local licensed Seaside Cafe.
LIVING AREA
Blue Tides B&B has inside galleries and outside decks, quiet corners and lots of space that help to make this Bay of Plenty accommodation a winner and feel like home. So many have found a refreshing Nature Retreat here.
