The beautiful coastlines are a must see in your journey to New Zealand. The word Kaitaia means ‘abundance of food’, in Māori, reflecting the prolific birdlife in the region’s ancient kauri forests -as well as a plentiful supply of fish and shellfish. Kaitaia is the second largest commercial centre in Northland and a busy farming town. Tourism is also an important industry, and many craftspeople live in and around the district. The nearest city is Whangarei, 200 kilometres south. New Zealand’s largest city, Auckland, is a 5-hour drive south. Kaitaia has its own airport and there is a daily express bus service to and from Auckland. See more of the region here.
