Snorkelling at the Poor Knights Islands – the Perfect Day…

February 2, 2010 by Rosemary Neave 2 Comments

I  live less than an hour and a half from Tutukaka, and had heard that the Poor Knights Islands were one of the best dive spots in the world. I had been in meetings with Jeroen Jongejans of Dive Tutukaka as he shared his passion for the area. But I had never got around to going out there - it was one of those "one day I would love to...." places. I emailed them about a … [Read more...]

Doubtless Bay is touted as the 'ultimate absolute beachfront' destination in Northland. It was autumn, and past swimming for me - but it is still a beautiful time to walk and explore, and the weather was crisp and clear. KariKari Peninsula Carrington Resort is one of NZ's luxury destinations - now with the Heritage Hotel chain it is set on the magical Karikari Peninsula. Its … [Read more...]

Whangarei Heads – magical playground in Northland

January 13, 2010 by Rosemary Neave 3 Comments

Whangarei Heads is east of Whangarei in Northland. From my home in Waipu I look across to Whangarei Heads - It is a magical place, and for the last 20 years I have camped there with friends. It is a peninsula - you don't go through there to get anywhere else - so only those who want to go are there.  We camp on private land - an organic dairy farm near Ocean Beach. It is … [Read more...]
