Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Whangarei Heads?

The bay itself is generally calm, suitable for kayaking or paddleboarding, and there are several walking tracks nearby, including ones leading to scenic lookouts.McLeod Bay offers a slightly more secluded feel with direct beach access. It's a popular spot for families due to its generally calm waters and a playground near the shore.
