Imagine a place where you're never more than 50km's from the coast, where you’ll witness the most see the most stunning beaches, inlets, rivers and coves. Yes, I'm talking about Northland!  It is a huge area where the people, history, culture are still an integral part of it's purpose. It beholds scenic beauty and places that will have you wishing you could stay just that bit longer. I now reside in this area of New Zealand and couldn't think of a place I would rather be! I'm fortunate enough to have some of the best beaches in New Zealand right on my doorstep and the ocean across the street. Definitely be sure to include this on your NZ road trip!
