Just after crossing on a long, traffic light controlled one way bridge, you reach Kopu. At the T junction turn right following the sign to Tairua. 800 metres past Kopu turn left on SH25A. Just follow the SH25A via Tairua and you will come to Whitianga after 1 1/4 hour drive. Follow the main Road (Albert Street), we are located on the right just before you reach the Beach.
