Northland

Northland consists of two stunning coastlines—east and west, both relatively unspoiled and of equal yet vastly different beauty. The west coastline is renowned for its rugged and simple beauty and the east is known for a calm and pristine but urbane environment. 

In the heart of Northland lies Whangarei, a developing, modern, and vibrant city in the center of a district of fertile farmlands, orchards, and forest, plus a stunning harbor and coastline along with more than 100 of New Zealand's finest beaches. Quayside cafés dot the town center, and the arts and retail scene is extremely popular.

Whangarei has a large farming community and a growing industry base of wood processing, tourism, manufacturing, horticulture, forestry, and pastoral farming.

Whangarei is also within close proximity to many world-famous tourist attractions including the Poor Knights Marine Reserve. The Reserve is an international icon and well-deserving of its protected status—densely populated with unique plant, fish, and animal life.

Only two hours from Auckland, Whangarei is a natural aquatic playground with sheltered anchorage and modern marinas with a rich mix of people, history, and geography. A strong sense of community and identity makes Whangarei an ideal place to raise a family, or to retire and relax comfortably.
