Whangarei
New Zealand's northernmost city sits on the water in the Northland region, with a walkable centre that holds a dense food-and-drink scene. The surrounding terrain is hilly, and the climate is warm and semi-tropical year-round — mild enough that the wider region is known locally as "the winterless north."
