Fancy a beautiful beach house to base yourself while exploring the stunning beauty of the far north. Thank you nzherald.co.nz
for profiling our beautiful home.

Often overlooked by overseas tourists but a firm favourite with Aucklanders on holiday, Northland is home to some of our most beautiful beaches, the cradle of European history in New Zealand and a playground for marine wildlife.

As you leave the Big Smoke, high-rises and flat pastures give way to the green rolling hills and stunning coastlines of the Winterless North.

No matter what direction you turn, you're never far from the coast or a photo-worthy spot.

The land is bounded to the west by the Tasman Sea, and to the east by the Pacific. Both waters meet at the tip of the island – Cape Reinga – where Māori spirits depart from to their homeland of Hawaiki.

Further south, the mighty Tāne Mahuta, Lord of the last Kauri forest and warden of the west coast, sits enthroned in the midst of the Waipoua Forest.

Te Tai Tokerau's east coast is the birthplace of the European-Māori union, best seen at the Waitangi Treaty Grounds, which offer an insight into New Zealand's past, present and future.

Home to some of our most beautiful beaches and marine wildlife, Northland is a must-see.

A great article on adventures to have in Northland thanks to the crazy back yard travel family ;-)

"Swim at the crazy white sand beach at Rarawa Beach
If you are heading up to Cape Reinga, I highly recommend stopping at Rarawa Beach. It has the brightest, whitest sand I have ever seen and makes for a beautiful and unique beach experience. There is a large estuary here which is great for young kids. The waves are often rough here, so do be careful with older children in the main beach. I think this is one of the best beaches in Northland because it is just so different. Top tip: Bring some sort of shade/shelter if you have some, there are no trees and it is very exposed here."

If New Zealand beaches, waterfalls, marine life & coastal walks are your type of family holiday, you must read the Best things to do in Northland with kids
