Neighbourhood

The house lies in a smart pleasant road that leads up to the picturesque Whau Valley dam. Two principle supermarkets are within four minutes drive. Central Whangarei and the harbour is only a five to eight minute drive.

Whangarei is a scenic harbour town with easy access to numerous pristine beaches, and beautiful countryside. Although it's called a city and is the gateway to the 'winterless north', by UK standards the reality is a modest town with all the intimacy that provides. There is an abundance of weekly activities, museums, walkways, Full details can be seen on - www.whangareiNZ.com
