ATTRACTIONS

Whangaroa Harbour is a magnificent picturesque inland harbour with a relaxed fishing village atmosphere.  Protected by dramatic rock formations, the harbour offers most all weather boating, kayaking, in season scallop beds and good snapper.  Dolphin sightings from Waimanu Lodge are not infrequent. 

A truly majestic place, positioned 30km north of Kerikeri in the Bay of Islands and a short trip by boat to the beautiful Cavalli Islands.
