Whangaroa is a beautiful place surrounded by a rich history for both Maori and early settlers. I come from there but have lived in Auckland for most of my life and I am still amazed by all the new things I have learnt from the people who have lived on the land. Absolutely beautiful scenery the place to be if you are a creative type it's so inspiring. I was reluctant to return to Auckland a concrete jungle after soaking up all that beauty. Now sitting here so very homesick. Be back soon.

Whangaroa is a hidden gem in the north! Most people end their stays in Paihia or Kerikeri - they miss out on so much. Whangaroa is close to beautiful beaches, Kauri forest, Cape Reinga and hot springs. If you go to Cape Reinga, make sure you visit the Kauri Gum Diggers trail! It's run by a passionate artist who is conserving part of the wetlands with this little project. For a stay in Whangaroa, best choose "The Marlin of Whangaroa". Great hotel with newly renovated rooms and the most awesome hotel managers you have ever met. Whangaroa itself has only one pub that opens 12 pm so make sure you bring provisions or visit the towns nearby. Absolutely recommend it.
