about this area

With a warm sub-tropical climate, approaching 1,000kms of unspoiled coastline around the top of the North Island, an abundance of safe or adventurous beaches, from the iconic Ninety Mile Beach on the Tasman Sea to Doubtless Bay on the Pacific Ocean, this is a wonderful place to live and work or an ideal base for a holiday in the north of New Zealand.
