We are Northland's first three-day private unguided walk. Situated at Whangarei Heads our boutique walk encompasses private farmland, stunning ocean and harbour beaches, rural roads, recreational reserves and public walkways. Start each day from our immaculately presented lodge and walk through an amazing variety of landscapes. At the end of the day return for a delicious dinner prepared by us and cooked by you. This outstanding natural experience will leave you with lasting memories.

A fantastic experience, we went as a group of friends and had the place to our selves. Claire made the whole experience seamless, providing transport, amazing food, and great knowledge of the walks and area. The facilities were clean, welcoming and comfy.

Impressive sight to see such a mammoth of a tree still alive but also makes you a wee bit sad to think of everything that has been felled. That said still a really great attraction t I appreciate it’s magnificence. The kids really enjoyed the experience going on an little adventure through the nahare. Handy to have a little coffee cart across the road too for a morning snack and a coffee afterwards.

This is a must do walk. Great bush. Nice streams. Amazing views. It's 5.5km, and then another 500m up Duke's head. I would suggest the Whangaroa Harbour Water Taxi back, though it's easy enough to walk

To get the full benefit from this out and back walk it is ideal to time in a minimum of 3 hours either side of low tide so you can walk the cliff top one way and the coast the other. Our experience was that the initial ~100 vertical metre climb to the cliff top and ridge line was easier from the surf club end. We enjoyed stunning views of the coastline, the outer island including Little and Great Barrier and the bays and rocks below. The bush track is nice with the quality of the forest improving at the far end before the decent using the well maintained steps which made getting to the beach easy, the walk back along the coast exploring rock pools and watching the bird life was great. With a stop for lunch and a swim the complete walk took us 3 hours. Mangawhai Heads is ~105km from Auckland’s CDB. There is plenty of parking at the surf club and public toilets. Highly recommended.

From the car park this is an easy walk out to the headland, with numerous lookouts over the harbour, the incredible sand blow and out to the Tasman Sea. Most of these are not fenced, so, make sure you keep the kids close, but there is no real danger as the track is wide, safe and well marked. Well worth the short diversion on the way to or from the giant trees nearby, or if you are visiting the nearby beaches.

The views from the hill out into Doubtless Bay and along the coastline in Taumarumaru Reserve are breath-taking. Cooper's Beach looks stunning. There is a tiny bay on the seaward side that can be accessed by a walking track which is beautiful. The views to the north over Chuck's Cove and Cable Bay and further on to Aurere Beach, Tokerau Beach and the Karikari Peninsula are magnificent. Worth the small climb to get to the top!
