Bay of Islands & Northland
One of our favourite parts of New Zealand and often overlooked as people head south from Auckland. 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.
Throughout the region you’ll also enjoy the shopping, dining and entertainment possibilities that stem from the distinctive local culture, which embraces art, creativity, organic farming and alternative thinking.
Northland’s history is rich and interesting. It is believed that the first Polynesian voyagers arrived in Northland during the 11th century. Today Waitangi is the seat of Maori culture, which is very much alive in this region (32 percent of the population are Maori). European settlement began in the 1840s, further enriching the region’s colourful past.
This is a beautiful region and please don't miss it.

Kauri Cliffs
OK I'm a golf nut and if you are, this resort hosts one of the finest golf courses in the world. The resort is also one of the very best I have stayed in, it is simply gorgeous, stunning and the best treat you could ever give yourself or if they are lucky, someone else. Highly recommended.
