Tomoana spreads across a gently undulating plain, its landscape a tapestry of verdant pastures and orderly orchards, kissed by a benevolent sun that often lingers long into the afternoon. It lies 1.6 km east-north-east of Hastings (from Hastings: bearing 71°T), and is situated 4.0 km north-north-west of Havelock North. The air here carries a faint, persistent whisper of the sea, though Hawke Bay itself lies a good kilometre or so beyond the immediate embrace of the land, a shimmering, distant promise. The Clive River, a ribbon of silver, meanders through the southern reaches, its banks often fringed with willows that shed their catkins like soft, green snow in the spring. To the west, the Kohinurakau Range rises in soft, rolling contours, their slopes cloaked in a mosaic of farmland and patches of native bush, their peaks catching the last blush of the evening sky.

The history of Tomoana is deeply intertwined with the rich soil and the bountiful harvest it has yielded for generations. This is a place where the rhythm of the seasons dictates the pulse of life, a land that has long sustained itself through the diligent cultivation of apples and kiwifruit, their fragrant blossoms painting the orchards in swathes of white and pink each spring. The legacy of agricultural innovation is palpable, evident in the well-maintained farmsteads and the organised fields that speak of a prosperous and enduring local economy. The nearby Hawke's Bay A & P Showgrounds, a kilometre distant, serves as a testament to this agricultural heritage, a place where the region's produce and livestock are celebrated annually, drawing visitors from far and wide to witness the fruits of labour and the spirit of community that defines Tomoana.

About This Tomoana Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Tomoana, Hawke's Bay, New Zealand at coordinates -39.63333, 176.86667. Use the Map and Satellite buttons to switch views, the plus and minus buttons to zoom, and Fullscreen to fill the screen.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map with four things the embedded map cannot do. It searches OpenStreetMap for any New Zealand town, suburb or landmark by name. It offers LINZ topographic maps as a base layer — the official Topo250 and Topo50 sheets, switching scale automatically as you zoom, and the standard reference for tramping, hunting and back-country travel. It offers LINZ aerial imagery down to 5cm resolution in urban areas. And it can take a single GPS fix from your device and report your position as both an NZTM2000 grid reference and plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what New Zealand search and rescue services work from. Map tiles require mobile coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map itself cannot load.
