Awanui is an historical river port in the far north of New Zealand, on the banks of the Awanui River just before it flows into Rangaunu Bay. Awanui lies at the south end of the Aupouri Peninsula in the Far North District Council of the Northland Region, approximately 7 km north of Kaitaia. The river port has ceased operation and a recreational wharf is located at Unahi, on the shore of Rangaunu Bay, approximately 3 km north of the township.

3. Ninety Mile Beach Kaitaia
Ninety Mile Beach is on the western coast of the far north of the North Island of New Zealand. It stretches from just west of Kaitaia towards Cape Reinga along the Aupouri Peninsula. It begins close to the headland of Reef Point, to the west of Ahipara Bay, sweeping briefly northeast before turning northwest for the majority of its length. It ends at Scott Point, 5 kilometres south of Cape Maria van Diemen. The beach is actually just 88 kilometers long. In the days of sailing ships a number of vessels were wrecked on this beach. The beach and its northern dunes are a tourist destination. The dunes, looking much like a desert landscape, are often used for bodyboarding. In 1932 the beach was used as the runway for some of the earliest airmail services between Australia and New Zealand. It is...

5. Waipoua Forest Waipoua Forest
Waipoua Forest preserves some of the best examples of kauri forest remaining in New Zealand. It is notable for having two of the largest living kauri trees, Tane Mahuta and Te Matua Ngahere. The forest was declared a sanctuary in 1952. A community based volunteer organisation, the Waipoua Forest Trust, helps maintain the forest.

6. Cape Reinga Cape Reinga
Cape Reinga / Te Rerenga Wairua is the northwesternmost tip of the Aupouri Peninsula, at the northern end of the North Island of New Zealand . Cape Reinga is more than 100 km north of the nearest small town of Kaitaia. State Highway 1 extends all the way to the cape, but until 2010 was unsealed gravel road for the last 19 km. Suitable vehicles can also travel much of the way via Ninety Mile Beach and Kauaeparaoa Stream stream bed. The 'Te Rerenga Wairua' component of the name in Māori language means the leaping-off place of spirits. The 'Reinga' part of the name is the Māori language word meaning the underworld. Both refer to the Māori belief that the cape is the point where the spirits of the dead enter the underworld. Cape Reinga is on the tentative list of UNESCO waiting to receive W...

The Wairere Boulders are a rock formation at Wairere, in the Hokianga region of northern New Zealand. A geological nature park around the boulders was planned and constructed by Felix and Rita Schaad in 1999. The walkways were built between 2000 and 2003.

Golden Stairs Walk - Whangape Harbour to Mitimiti Beach @ Northland, New Zealand

This is definitely one of the most amazing day walks in Northland (if not one of the most iconic in NZ) - Huge fiord-like deep sound of a long narrow harbour valley cutting its way through to the pounding Tasman sea. This links to the remote and secrete northern most part of the wild Mitimiti Beach. 3 hours of walk on ridge one way from Pawarenga end of the Whangape Haroubr at low tide, and then another 1-2 hours scroll on beach towards Mitimiti to meet our most wonderful hosts Jill and Tiny (they dropped us off at Pawarenga earlier and picked up from north end of Mitimiti beach).

The name Golden Stairs Walk comes from the blaze of Kowhai flower display in the valley in Spring time - it looks like god painted the mountains with gold splashes!! The view is something you have never seen before - jaw dropping!

The best place to stay is of course at Jill and Tiny's cottage at Panguru, north Hokianga Harbour: Their place is absolutely straight from a Tourism New Zealand brochure and they are the most wonderful people you will ever meet!

PS - 4WD is considered most appropriate way of getting to the cottage as there is a ford in the middle of their driveway - a classic kiwiana that gold can't buy!!! There is a beautiful waterfall in their backyard forest (part of Warawara Forest) which takes hours of fun to explore.
