We are situated in a very remote area of New Zealand " Extreme Far North", on the eastern seaboard of the Cape Reinga Peninsula.Cape Reinga is famous for it's "90" mile beach, with an endless panorama of wild ocean, surf, and sanddunes. Tourists use this Beach as a "Highway" when driving to tip of the Cape and the famous Lighthouse. Driving along this beach is quite an experience. From the Cape Reinga Lighthouse watch the maelstrom as the mighty Pacific and Tasman oceans meet.Embrace the mythology at Spirits Bay, where the souls of the early ancestors departed New Zealand on their journey to the afterlife. Henderson Bay is located on the East Coast is quite different,it is surrounded by pristine unspoilt coastline, featuring endless white sandy ocean beaches, small safe swimming bays separated by rocky outcrops and rock pools. Some prefer our calmer blue water of the Pacific Ocean with a more serene aspect to the coastline. Henderson bay is approximately a 40 mins drive north along the State Highway to the Lighthouse, Pukenui is a 15 minute drive south of Henderson Bay.
