Homes from the region have been named in the Top 100 national finalists for the 2019 House of the Year competition.
The Registered Master Builder's competition determines the best home builds and renovations of 2019.
More than 330 new home builds and renovations across the country were assessed by a panel of judges, with regional award-winners announced during July and August.
The homes in Tauranga range from Welcome Bay to Merivale.
"These Top 100 homes showcase everything from sustainability and innovation to skilled workmanship. The quality builds reflect the evolving values and needs of New Zealand's homeowners," said Registered Master Builders chief executive David Kelly.
