Drive south to Kaikohe in your Budget Campers Motor Home Rentals and through to Opononi or Omapere in the Hokianga Harbour area. Hokianga has a wide range of accommodation available, from 'Bed & Breakfasts', farmstays, backpackers and camping grounds to motels.

Hokianga Harbour, also known as Te Kohanga o Te Tai Tokerau ('the nest of the northern tribes'), is the central point from which most Northland Maori trace their ancestry. This sometimes wild, rugged harbour is also the site of many early New Zealand shipwrecks.

Attractions in the Hokianga area include:

  • Waipoua Forest: see giant kauri trees (native to New Zealand, growing in similar stature to redwood/sequoia trees), including 1400-year-old Tane Mahuta and 2000-year-old Te Matua Ngahere
  • Huge sand dunes: take a trip from the twin settlements of Omapere and Opononi
  • Rawene: experience the mangrove walk
