As New Zealand’s northernmost city, it’s practically the tropics, right?
The average annual temperature is around 15 degrees, so if winter is not your thing,
Whangarei could very well be an ideal place to call home.
The warm climate easily lends itself to a variety of outdoor pursuits and sporting recreation,
with Whangarei Harbour a sheltered sanctuary for all kinds of water vessels - from motor boats
to sail boats and kayaks. Catching a snapper for dinner is practically a rite of passage here.
The large port provides plenty of jobs for the economy, and the relaxed, friendly vibe has
attracted many people to the city over the past 10 years - its population is very close to cracking the
100,000 mark. Auckland is only two hours away for when you need the international airport - but if you don’t,
then you’ll probably never need to leave, as every city convenience is available here.
