Haere mai - You are most welcome to visit our small city of Whangarei - approx. 55,000 people. Our beautiful Terenga Paraoa harbour, clad with native bush - te Ngahere/Te Waonui o Tane. It is the main population centre of Northland, known to us the local Ngapuhi Maori, as te Taitokerau, or Te Ika a Maui - the Tail of the Fish. The North Island of New Zealand, is the shape of a giant fish, pulled from the ocean by our ancestor Maui.
Whangarei Terenga Paraoa - Native bush, beaches and inshore islands, rivers and harbour - very friendly local people who will welcome you to our sub-tropical paradise. Many overseas visitors marvel at the clean, green, and safe environment of New Zealand - Aotearoa, the Land of the Long White Cloud. The southern most nation of Polynesia and the Pacific Ocean, to which many of our Pacific Island neighbours and relations have migrated to in recent years. And only 3 hours air travel from Australia.
New Zealand, Aotearoa, known as the Youngest Country on Earth, and 100% Pure NZ.
Whangarei - only 2 hours north of Auckland by road, or a 30 minute air flight. One hour to Paihia, BOI
We pray to the One God, Io Matua Kore, that your journey is one of laughter, safety and enjoyment.
