Mangawhai Cliff Walk

Northland is the northernmost of NZ's 16 regions. Come and immerse yourself in the pure beauty of New Zealand's sub-tropical paradise. Explore Maori culture, the world's largest Kauri tree, pristine beaches, lush meadows boasting a striking shade of green found nowhere else and the Bay of Islands awaiting you with secluded beaches, dolphins and whales. The Winterless North is a treasure trove of hidden gems and off the beaten path places, where countless rainbows await. My guide includes 104 locations shown on an interactive map, the most beautiful places to visit, off the beaten path and hidden gem spots. The main focus of my guide is on outdoor nature places but also provides accommodation recommendations including free camps, places to eat and what to do. I've visited all of these places myself (except some hotels and restaurants) during the more than 2 years that I lived in NZ. If you have time and you're doing a roadtrip you can just follow the route or simply pick out the places you like most.

Whether you are living in or visiting Auckland, this travel guide is great for a slow weekend away to escape the busy city life! Known for its beautiful beach towns, popular wineries, and scenic walks, the areas of Mangawhai, Matakana, and Tawharanui will make for the perfect weekend getaway.
