From Kopu head south to Paeroa, then thru to Te Aroha, take the back road (old Te Aroha road) along the base of the Kaimai's until you get on the Tauranga Road, look for the turn off on the right that takes you thru Tirau and then over the Mamkau's to Rotorua, around the lake to Hamurana and over that neat road to Pyes Pa. Then down thru Tauranga to katikati, Waihi, Whangamata, up to the Cooks Beach / Hot water beach turn off, then turn left to Cooks Beach - about 380 K's all up.
Can I come?
