Northland InformationA tale of two coastlines Much of Northland's extensive coastline remains unspoilt - an aquatic playground for adventure activities and escapist relaxation. Whangarei and Opua are havens for international and local yachts; Tutukaka and Russell are game fishing hot spots; the beaches of Doubtless Bay are endlessly beautiful.
Northland's history is rich and interesting. It is believed that the first Polynesian voyagers arrived in Northland during the 11th century. Kaitaia, the most northern town in New Zealand, and the springboard for exploration of the real Far North. Surrounded by some the most beautiful beaches in the southern hemisphere, Kaitaia is only a short drive away from our spectacular seaside. Just 14kms west from Kaitaia township, is the stunning world famous 90 Mile Beach. This unspoilt sandy beach curves its way up the Far North's western shoreline almost to Cape Reinga. Popular local pastimes include surfcasting, surfing, land yachting, walking, fishing, shellfish gathering, horse and dune riding and of course relaxing. The main towns in the Bay of Islands are Paihia and Russell, and to the north of the Bay, Kerikeri. Paihia offers a variety of accommodation and is the main base for excursions, including game fishing, leisure cruising, yachting, paragliding, swimming with dolphins and diving. The town also houses the Aquatic World Aquarium where visitors can learn about the sea life common to the area. Within walking distance of Paihia is the Waitangi Reserve, home to the Waitangi Treaty House. It is here that the historic Treaty of Waitangi was signed in 1840, the founding document of New Zealand. The reserve also has a visitor's centre, a 35 metre Maori war canoe, a Maori meeting house decorated with beautiful carvings, and coastal and mangrove forest walks. Kerikeri is set on a picturesque inlet to the north of the Bay and is the area's main commercial centre. The town offers visitors a range of accommodation, several craft galleries and some interesting historic buildings including Kemp House (1822), New Zealand's oldest house, and the Stone Store (1836). Close to the town is a reconstruction of a traditional Maori village. Whangarei is famous for its superb beaches and romantic countryside, Whangarei enjoys more than 2,000 hours of sunshine a year, and there's rainfall enough to keep surroundings lush, green and attractively semi-tropical. In the heart of the city, Quayside at the Town Basin is a sophisticated, yet leisurely centre for eating and entertainment. Modern landscaping blends perfectly with colonial architecture to create a gathering place for locals, visiting travellers and yachties from all over the world. As well as stylish cafés and restaurants, there are museums, art galleries and specialty shops. The Clock Museum is a must see.
