Follow the road through the kumara capital of New Zealand to find rugged, wild beaches and majestic Kauri forests. Seafood and our magnificent sweet potato, the kumara, will be the hero of many dishes and experiences! An essential stop has to be Matich’s Fish Shop in Dargaville for their award-winning fare and the Kauri Museum in Matakohe.

Continue on further up the Kauri Coast to the Hokianga, rich in cultural heritage, natural wonders and amazing food offerings in waterfront cafes and hotels. Stay locally and truly savour this unique part of Northland!
