When heading north out of Kerikeri most people will turn off to visit or camp at Matauri Bay. This place is fantastic for swimming, fishing, walking and diving amongst other activities. But make sure you follow the road around to the next bay for a visit. Te Ngaere Bay is a quieter and more secluded area which has lots to offer. There's easy access for boats so it's a great place to go fishing, kids will enjoy the rock pools for exploring and the beach is perfect for swimming. Allow a full day to properly enjoy the surroundings.

The hostel is a beautiful old farmhouse, which has been lovingly renovated, with wooden floors and pleasant rooms. Our room had doors that opened out into the private garden. And this is a hostel!

If you have a car, it's a good place to stay for a few days, relax and chill, and use as a base to explore this part of Northland. Stefano is Italian-born and makes the most divine pizzas that everyone eats companionably around the big table in the kitchen. Can't wait to stay there again!
