Our location
Kaitaia is the most northerly town in New Zealand. It has some 5,200 inhabitants and is located on State Highway 1 - 300 km north of Auckland. It is a further 110 km to Cape Reinga at the northern tip of the narrow Aupouri Peninsula
Ahipara is 14 km west, at the foot of Ninety Mile Beach, and the Karikari Peninsula, on the east coast, is 20 km east.
Travelling direct by State Highway 1 and State Highway 10, the journey time from Auckland is about four hours without stops. Travelling the Twin Coast Discovery Highway - a world-class touring route leaving from, and returning to, Auckland - requires at least two days in each direction to visit the many interesting and beautiful attractions along the way.
