Where you’ll be

Pataua North, Northland, New Zealand

Pataua North has a 2km stunning white sand surf beach, and also a calm inland lagoon and estuary. So there is something for everyone.

The drive back into Whangarei is half an hour, and the city has lots of great cafes and restaurants particularly around the Town Basin. The New World supermarket also has a good range of bread, deli items and wines.

If you fancy seeing further afield, a trip to Tutukaka for some diving at the world renowned Poor Knights Islands is only a 45 minute drive away, or a day out in the Bay of Islands is just an hour and a half drive.
