Northland is known as “the birthplace of New Zealand”. It offers fascinating Maori cultural experiences, beautiful white sand beaches and places of relaxation. Enjoy local activities such as golf, swimming, sailing, kayaking, surfing, fishing and diving. Take a cruise, soak up the sun or immerse yourself in local culture. Kaitaia’s Beachcomber Restaurant is where you can sample the finest foods in the North. At both Ahipara and Te Paki you can hire boogie boards and quad bikes for play in the giant sand dunes. Make sure you head to the northernmost tip, Te Rerenga Wairua (Cape Reinga), and watch the seas of the Pacific Ocean and Tasman Sea collide. On your return trip drive along Ninety Mile Beach. It’s shorter, straighter, quicker and more scenic than the inland highway. See below for more information about the many things you can enjoy while staying at the Wharekapua Beach House. We can also tailor specific ‘experience’ packages to suit your interests.
