The Mangawhai Heads coastal walks, part of the te Araroa Trail. You’ll discover stunning views, native bush and plenty of birdlife here.
The native kererū (wood pigeon) occasionally visits our back yard. There are also plenty of tūī, pūkeko, rosellas and kingfisher birds. At low tide, the estuary is a haven for doterril, spoonbills and other birds.
The estuary is 6 km long, so plenty of room for kayaking, paddle boarding, snorkelling, swimming, or visiting the dune to see the birdlife.
