Whangarei City surely is a Great Place! Great people ... great families ... great scenery ... great outdoors ... great beaches ... great sports ... great fun ... great food ... great shopping ... great dining ... great wine ... great education ... great nightlife .. great art ... great skills ... great potential ... great opportunity ... great boat building ... and a great time!
New Zealand's warmest and northernmost city knows how to show you an easy-going good time. The centre of a district famous for its 100 or so superb beaches and romantic countryside. Whangarei with a population of 41500 or so, enjoys more than 2,000 hours of sunshine a year, and there's rainfall enough to keep the surroundings lush, green and attractively semi-tropical.
Whangarei has grown to become the cultural, entertainment, commercial and service centre for Northland. It has come a long way since Ahipupu times!
