Orewa is a vibrant bustling town centre, located right adjacent to the Orewa beach – which was voted NZ’s top City Beach 2023! 

For relaxation, adrenalin water sports, cycling, boutique shopping or dining out, Orewa continues to create new experiences for all.

Orewa has quickly become known for its vibrant hospitality precinct. 

Visitors can eat at a different place every day for a month and never visit the same place twice with cuisine options from across the globe, to suit all tastes.

Whether the preference is for a plant-based meal, a keto picnic, an award-winning pie, a hearty pub meal or a menu featuring fine cuisine, Orewa has something for everyone. 

A selection of designer boutique retail shops can be found throughout the town, with options including imported babywear from the UK, surf and streetwear, fashion, and formal wear for both men and women. 

Orewa is proud to shout out that many fashion outlets focus on NZ designers. 

Summer in Orewa attracts families to enjoy boogie boarding, cycle the 7km long Te Ara Tahuna Cycleway, walk the 3km long pristine beach, visit the two art galleries or walk through Eaves Bush Scenic reserve.

Winter fulfils the adrenalin rush for kite surfers, blow-karts, rugged dog walkers and windsurfers.

Two of Auckland's most scenic Regional Parks are within a short drive of Orewa – Wenderholm 10 minutes to the North and Shakespear Park 15 minutes to the East. 

The city ferry from Gulf Harbour is a 15-minute drive from the Orewa CBD.

You can eat, shop, and play in Orewa – it’s our lifestyle, and it’s your destination.
