ABOUT
RODNEY

North of Auckland there is a wonderful playground of rolling green pastures, attractive beaches and peaceful rural retreats.

Rodney District embraces a fascinating variety of landscapes from the wild west coast surf beaches flanking the Kaipara Harbour to the golden sand beaches of the Hibiscus and Kowhai Coasts.

The district forms the first part of the Twin Coast Discovery touring route, which runs up the west coast to Cape Reinga and returns through the Bay of Islands to Auckland. Visitors will find an abundance of activities and good accommodation throughout the district.

Rodney’s 1000 kms of stunning coastline begins at the Whangaparoa Peninsula with its scenic Shakespear Regional Park. The world-class Gulf Harbour Marina, Village and Country Club offers canal-side dining, live entertainment, shopping and accommodation. Further north are the delightful beach towns of Orewa and Waiwera on the Hibiscus Coast and the Wenderholm and Mahurangi Regional Parks. Waiwera has superb thermal pools in a picturesque setting.
