Warkworth is a pretty town located on the banks of the Mahurangi River. From here it's easy to explore the many attractions of the district—surf beaches, marine and wildlife sanctuaries, vineyards, golf courses, regional parks and islands.
The drive south takes you through areas of native forest and farmland. You'll notice a side road pointing to Puhoi, a town famous for its cheese.
Another interesting settlement is Waiwera, which means ‘hot water&rsq in Māori. Soak in the hot springs and play on the hydroslides.
In the town of Orewa you can explore bush trails, visit the friendly shopping centre or dive into the waves for a refreshing swim. You'll find more beaches, a marina and a world class golf course if you drive along the Whangaparaoa Peninsula.
The newly completed motorway will quickly sweep you towards the city of Auckland, which is situated between two enormous harbours and dotted with 48 extinct volcanic cones. It's a place for marine adventures, wine trails, forest walks and urban sophistication.
