TOTARANUI B&B
Things to do in the area
Whangarei Heads is one of those hidden places, just off the beaten track and therefore missed by many people travelling on to the more well known spots. So, this relatively undiscovered area, just east of Whangarei, remains largely unspoilt, and retains an atmosphere of coastal and rural life from a more relaxed, bygone age. Here you are more likely to meet the locals on holiday in their summer bachs, than crowds of visitors. You will find spectacular beaches and, and as often as not, there will only be a handful of people on them… and did we mention that we have some of the best snapper fishing in Northland?
