We are Northland's first three-day private unguided walk. Situated at Whangarei Heads our boutique walk encompasses private farmland, stunning ocean and harbour beaches, rural roads, recreational reserves and public walkways. Start each day from our immaculately presented lodge and walk through an amazing variety of landscapes. At the end of the day return for a delicious dinner prepared by us and cooked by you. This outstanding natural experience will leave you with lasting memories.
A fantastic experience, we went as a group of friends and had the place to our selves. Claire made the whole experience seamless, providing transport, amazing food, and great knowledge of the walks and area. The facilities were clean, welcoming and comfy.

Shuttle service to walking trails and beaches at Whangarei Heads. Our stops include two of DOC's top tracks: Mt Manaia Track & Te Whara Track. Book our return shuttle from Whangarei central or our One-way Transfer for Te Whara Track if you have your own vehicle.
A great alternative to a long drive around to Whangarei Heads is to cross by boat from Marsden Point to Reotahi. We walked around to Urquhart Bay then hiked over to Smugglers Bay & stayed the night at Peach Cove, the next day taking the Te Whara track out to Ocean Beach where we were picked up by the Trail Drop shuttle to get back to Reotahi. What a great service - seamless, informed, on time!

Enjoyable walk, we knocked it off in an hour. We're reasonably fit, but stopped to take photos and appreciate the view from some of the seats. It had rained the previous night but the track was still ok (boots and running shoes respectively). Won't add to the pics for this walk because the ones here are almost identical to our ones! Tried to find another 1 -2 hour walk in the vacinity and failed. Of course you could just wander up the beach, or at low tide walk from Langs out to Bream Tail. Speaking of tides, we walked the Waipu Coastal one 2 hours after high tide, and that was fine for crossing the stream at the beginning (Waipu end) and gave us enough clearance at the Ding Bay end not to get footwear wet. We also had 2 cars and left one at each end, so yeah, we could've done a return walk if we wanted to get a 2 hour walk! If you're heading to this area for a decent walk, do the Mangawhai Cliffs one and save the Waipu Coastal one for a short walk. Lunch afterwards at The Cove was superb!
