About Northland

Immerse yourself in the Northland’s rich culture & history. The region boasts a stunning natural environment that stretches from south-east of Mangawhai across to the Kaipara Harbour and all the way up to New Zealand's northernmost tip, Cape Rēinga.

As the northernmost and warmest of New Zealand’s 16 regions, Northland is known as the 'winterless North'. The low elevation and close proximity to the sea result in amild, subtropical and rather windy climate. Our region is a combination of natural taonga such as golden beaches, secluded coves, breath-taking seascapes, ancient forests, and a rich tapestry of flora and fauna.
