Welcome to our place …. 
North of Auckland offers one of New Zealand’s truly great lifestyles. One minute you can be miles from anywhere on a beach of breathtaking beauty; an hour later you’re right in the heart of cosmopolitan Auckland. Between lie charming rural villages and towns, dotting one of our country’s most picturesque landscapes. The east coast is lapped by jewel-like waters, while just a few kilometers away the Kaipara Harbour has a more austere but no less beautiful quality.

The Rodney District sits on Auckland’s doorstep yet retains the feel of yesterday with vibrant communities and down to earth locals. With stunning beaches, rolling land, vineyards, regional parks and much more, it’s a quality lifestyle very close to NZ’s largest city.   

Further north Whangarei is a developing, modern and vibrant city in the centre of a district of fertile farmlands, orchards and forest, with a stunning harbour and coastline offering some of New Zealand’s finest beaches. Whangarei City has a large farming community and is only 2 hours from Auckland. It is also within close proximity to many famous tourist attractions including the Tutukaka Coast (voted one of the top 10 coastlines in the world) and the Poor Knights Marine Reserve (also in the Top 10 globally – this time for diving destinations). 

Head further North and you have the world renowned Bay of Islands, the character filled centre of Kerikeri and the Far North. 
Combine all of this with a typically relaxed way of life and you have something that is truly out of the ordinary. Perhaps this explains why this region is growing at a fast rate, with more and more people choosing to make their homes or their weekend retreats here.
