The nearest airport is in Kerikeri (30 minutes drive) where there are flights from Auckland, 5 flights per day, 4 per day at weekend too.
A car is necessary as this is a rural area. We suggest you hire a vehicle in Kerikeri, this is necessary if you intend to expore the native landscape.
Auckland is 3 hours 50 mins drive. Kerikeri is 25 mins. Whangarai is the nearest city at 1 hour drive. The Bay of Islands with Paihia, Russell and Waitangi (where the treaty was signed) are also a 40 min drive. Whangaroa harbour is just a 10 min drive. Coopers beach and Cable Bay in Doubtless bay are approx 30 mins away. The best fish and chip shop in the world at Manganoui is also around 30 mins away. But we do have a great local takeaway in Kaeo.
