Paihia is located about 60km outside of a lovely little town called Whangarei.  From here, the road to Auckland isn’t all that far but, with all the bends in the road, the trip can take you approximately 2 hours.  Whangarei Falls is a very popular destination for locals and tourists alike.  The tranquillity of water as it flows off the edge and comes crashing down is always gives you that sense of peace.

The beaches in this area are also particularly lovely.  They are clean and not overcrowded so you can really enjoy yourself without worrying about sprinkling sand on the person(s) next to you.  Mt Manaia and the Whangarei Quarry Gardens are two more attractions in this area.

A trip from Paihia to Cape Reinga will take you just over 2 hours and 30 minutes to complete.  It is the north western most point of New Zealand and a popular tourist destination for anyone fortunate enough to find themselves in this amazing area.  Pack a picnic basket, set out in the early morning and enjoy your breakfast at this scenic point.  It’s one of the best breaks away from the busy town or city life.
