Hotel Armitage is located in the centre of Tauranga, the largest city in the Bay of Plenty and one of New Zealand's fastest growing cities. Due to its sheltered position on the east coast, Tauranga enjoys a warm, mostly dry climate.
Much of the surrounding countryside is horticultural land. The area is particularly known for growing tangelos, avocados and kiwifruit. The Port of Tauranga is a major container ship stop off and also welcomes many cruise ships during the season.
Tauranga offers a big city lifestyle at its own relaxed pace and there are plenty of choices for eating out. Everything from lunch bars to exquisite restaurants can be found on or near the Strand. It is the place to be for great coffee, international cuisine, alfresco dining, and fantastic nightlife.
