ABOUT OMOKOROA BOAT CLUB
The Omokoroa Boat Club is a community based Incorporated Society that plays a prominent part in the local community in a variety of ways.
Situated on one of the most beautiful harbours in New Zealand and occupying a unique position over the water, it has become the focal point of the Peninsula.
It is very popular as a venue for local community meetings, breakfasts, lunches, meals, parties, celebrations and weddings. It is also a good place for newcomers to the locality to meet and make new friends or for existing friends to meet up over a coffee.
