House Sits Kaitaia

Kaitaia is often referred to as the last major town before you reach the top of New Zealand. It’s an ideal place to stay and explore the local area before heading up to Cape Reinga, where you can witness the meeting of the Tasman Sea and the Pacific Ocean.

From Kaitaia you can also journey to Ninety Mile Beach (though do your homework first as you need an appropriate vehicle). Back in Kaitaia you’ll find a warm, welcoming community with strong connections to the farming, forestry and tourism industries.

A key place to visit is the Far North Regional Museum, where you can delve into the history of this beautiful region and the people who have lived there.
