Whangarei the gateway city to Northland and the stunning Bay of Islands is New Zealand's only sub-tropical climate zone and the hot summers and mild winters mean that you can enjoy outdoor activities all year round. 

From local hot spots to popular attractions, there’s always something to do when staying at Discovery Settlers Hotel Whangarei. 

Only 20 minutes from some of New Zealand's most spectacular beaches. Whangarei boasts an aquatic playground of 100 white sand beaches, pristine harbours and off-shore islands. Enjoy the world’s best sub tropical diving and ocean cruise with snorkeling at the Poor Knights Islands off the Tutukaka Coast with over 125 species of fish and the largest sea cave in the world.

Visit the acclaimed Whangarei Quarry Gardens, hike the numerous coastal and forest trails and visit the spectacular Whangarei Falls. Walk or cycle the Hatea Loop, a fully accessible walkway dotted with playgrounds, sculptures, restaurants, Claphams National Clock Museum and galleries. Experience art and nature in perfect harmony when you visit the unique Hundertwasser Art Centre and Wairau Maori Art Gallery.

To the west of Whangarei, explore ancient kauri forests including New Zealand's largest tree, Tane Mahuta in the Waipoua Forest.

Just 1 hour’s drive north of Whangarei, the Bay of Islands is studded with 140 subtropical islands and sheltered beaches, big game fishing, wineries and colonial-era towns. Visit the culturally significant Waitangi Treaty Grounds where the historic signing of the Treaty of Waitangi (between Maori and the British Crown) took place in 1840. 

Journey to the top of NZ to popular 90 mile beach, famous for its sand boarding dunes and onto the iconic Cape Reinga lighthouse where two oceans collide and Maori spirits begin their final journey at the ‘spiritual place of leaping’.

Our friendly Discovery Settlers Hotel team can provide a wealth of knowledge about the local Whangarei area and wider Northland region and are more than happy to provide advice and assistance with activity bookings throughout Northland.
