IF THE WEATHER is starting to feel autumnal in your neck of the woods, Northland is calling you. Summer glows all the more longer, the weather and foliage is seductively subtropical and the sun-kissed beaches are absurdly gorgeous.
Northland s thriving capital of Whangārei, is a city of adventure, culture and natural beauty.
Head for the summit of Parihaka, the city s highest point, which was once the site of the largest Māori pā (fortified village) in New Zealand. The excavations are still visible and are accessed by a pleasant walk through native forest from the summit.
