Northland is a great place to live. We have high sunshine hours, and the area offers plenty of amazing outdoor activities (kayaking, surfing, fishing, cycling, tramping etc.) with multiple white sand beaches, walking/cycling trails, and scenic native bush right on your doorstep. So, you really can have it all, stunning beaches, rolling green hills and no traffic jams. Yet we are close enough to Auckland if you miss the city lights.
