From the retreat you can discover the peaceful waterfront village of Russell. This historic township was the very first colonial capital of New Zealand and is a lovely place to devote an afternoon exploring. It can be approached by a five-minute automobile ferry from Opua or the passenger ferry from Paihia. For those wanting to catch a glimpse of some of New Zealand’s spectacular wildlife check out The Bay of Islands. With 114 islands and a lot of secluded bays it is one of the country’s finest maritime parks. There is an abundance of marine life including whales, penguins, dolphins, gannets and the well-known blue and black marlin. If you are feeling adventurous the Bay also gives a lot of activities to pick from such as sailing, diving, hiking, sky diving, jet boating and golf. Alternatively, relax on one of the Bay’s beaches and sample the fine local food and wine.

The Waitangi Treaty Grounds are also nicely worth a go to. As the ‘Birthplace off the Nation’, the grounds are New Zealand’s most historic web site, exactly where the Treaty of Waitangi was signed in between Maori Chiefs and the British Crown in 1840. Devote an afternoon exploring the historic Treaty House or admiring 1 of the world’s biggest ceremonial waka (canoe). Illuminated at night, the stunning Haruru falls are accessible by each road or by way of the pleasant walkway by means of the Waitangi national reserve.
