Northland is a large region connected by the Twin Coast Discovery Highway, which starts and finishes in Auckland City. Using the East, West, Top of the North principle makes it easy to understand its geography and plan an itinerary for this area.
Northland is the sub-tropical region of New Zealand and is known for its beautiful beaches and majestic Kauri forests. Maori, the indigenous people of New Zealand travelled to and settled in this region in the 11th century aboard waka, or hand made wooden canoes. It wasn't until the late 18th century that British settlers first arrived. In 1840 the Treaty of Waitangi, the founding document that tied together the lives of Maori and European people, was signed. For this reason, Northland is often referred to as "The Birthplace of a Nation".
The myriad of islands, bays and beaches around Northland's coastline provide visitors with a chance to experience a range of marine-based activities. Dotted all around Northland you’ll find luxury lodges and upmarket ‘Bed & Breakfasts’. Wine, golf trails, gourmet food products and wonderful outdoor cafes reward visitors to this region. The largest and oldest (up to 4,000 years old) Kauri tree specimens still living today can be viewed in forests such as Waipoua on the West Coast of Northland. Their significance is further heightened when you view its contribution to New Zealand’s early history can be seen in places like Matakohe.
