Mangawhai and Surrounds
Only a 90 minute leisurely drive north of Auckland, this area has seen significant growth in the last few years with many people wanting to get away from the bustle of the city and enjoy the lifestyle on offer, but also being within striking distance of the city. 
Straddling three districts – Rodney, Kaipara and Whangarei – this is a distinct and very beautiful area that offers a wide variety of activities. 
Mangawhai, Langs, Waipu Cove and the greater Kaipara provide fun for all ages with the ocean, coastline, fresh water lakes and harbours offering a full range of water activities and the golden sandy beaches a great place to relax and enjoy.
Land based activities are also well catered for with several excellent golf courses, bowls, tennis and a medley of award winning cafes and restaurants.
Whether you are looking for more popular white sandy beaches of the east coast or for a bit more escapism and the ‘off the beaten track’ on the west coast in idyllic spots such as Pahi, you will find the lifestyle on offer in the area top class.
There is a strong and vibrant rural community based around the towns of Wellsford and Maungaturoto and the farms and lifestyle blocks in the area offer great opportunities.
