2 Best Sights in Coromandel and the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand

Colville General Store

Fodor's choice

Colville's classic counterculture General Store is run by a local co-operative. It sells foodstuffs (there's a well-stocked organic section), wine, beer, and gasoline. It's kind of like the general store that used to be in all country areas. It's also the northernmost supplier on the peninsula, so don't forget to fill your tank.

Comvita

This company has developed a worldwide following for its honey-based health products and Experience Comvita shows you why. Take a guided tour and interactive 3D experience to learn about the honeybees and the healing properties of native New Zealand plants, in particular the manuka tree. Tours (40 minutes) start at 10, 11, 1, and 2; advanced booking is recommended. You can also relax in their café and explore the retail store, where trained staff will explain the range of health, wellness, and beauty products available.
