A good place to experience the rugged coast near Whangarei Heads with walks and hikes for all levels of fitness

What an unexpected surprise to discover a pod of 30 or so dolphins in the shallow shoreline surf. The sky was approaching dusk at 8:30pm and we enjoyed the long days of sun compared to our USA winter dusk at 5:30pm.

My husband and I had this excellent purpose built lodge to ourselves (can sleep up to 12) for 4 nights and had a wonderful time.I am not sure what to rave about the most...the areas natural beauty from beach to mountain tops or the incredible and generous home cooked food provided. Located close to a variety of great bush walking options, our host Clare catered for our every need and more, to a very high standard. This tranquil setting was a haven for birds and we even heard kiwi.From the lodge there is a number of walking option and Clare co ordinates drop off and pick up if needed. Clear maps and directions are provided. This is a stunning part of NZ, only a few hours drive from Auckland. Staying at Bream Head coastal walks gave us the perfect package.We highly recommend this place and this experience.

This is a great little walk and you can do a round trip which includes Busby Head. Never many people at the Cove and it is easy to find a tree to sit under to avoid the sun. Best to avoid this area in a strong wind from the southerly quarter as it is exposed but OK in anything from the North.

Stayed in March and had the lodge to ourselves. Beautifully thought out lodge has everything you need including the outdoor bathtub. Claire was a wonderful host and her food was fantastic. Being able to have healthy breakfasts and walk lunches is great too. Day 2 walk was hard but the reward was seeing lots of Dolphins at smugglers cove when we were having a cool off swim. It is a great way to do a multi day trek and I don't know if I could ever carry a pack again! Thanks Claire it was great Nd I would highly recommend

Over the past 4 days we have walked from (1) Whangarei Heads Ocean Beach to Peach Cove and back, (2) around Whangarei Heads from Stuart Rd, McLeod Bay and back via Mt Aubrey, (3) Mt Manaia and (4) Urquharts Bay to Bream Head Gun Emplacements, Busby Head and back via Smugglers Cove.The Mt Manaia walk was the shortest, had the best views and the greatest diversity of plants. The climb took 45 minutes.......not 1.5 hours as suggested. Yes it was steep, but all the steep sections are on even gravel steps. This walk is excellent. You will see a large kauri, plus younger ones. We did not see kiwi, but it is a kiwi reserve. No dogs are allowed. Total time 1.5 hours.The walk to Peach Cove was much more difficult. Peach Cove is not worth visiting as a beach. The walk is OK for those wanting a hard steep walk. The walk requires some agility and eyes on top of your head. I was nearly knocked out twice by thick overhead branches. Need at least 4 hours for this walk.The circuit from Urquhurts Bay is the least steep. Track conditions are good. Smugglers Bay is an OK beach, but exposed to southerly winds. This walk also has a kiwi reserve, so no dogs.Did this walk because of the importance of James Busby to Australia and New Zealand. He bought the first grape vines from France and Spain to both countries as well as help draft the treaty of Waitangi. Total time 1.5 hours.The walk from McLeod Bay around the head and over Mt Aubrey has some good views, but nothing as spectacular as Mt Manaia. A good walk if you are staying in McLeod Bay. Total time about 2 hours account needed to check directions a few times in the narrow laneways before Reotahi Scenic Reserve.

We have just enjoyed three wonderful days of tramping at Bream Head Coastal Walks and can not recommend this experience more highly. The scenery was stunning, the facilities at the lodge were excellent and Claire's cooking was 'to die for'. This was our first experience of catered tramping and it certainly won't be our last! Thanks Claire for a wonderful time!

We took the 3 day (2 night) walking option and had a thoroughly enjoyable time. Claire was certainly "the host with the most!!!. Her food was amazingly yummy and plentiful and she was just so accommodating for the entire stay.The walks and scenery were incredible. In fact we need to go back to complete the walks we didn't have time for.The lodge was clean and well kitted out. The beds were very comfortable.All up it was an amazing experience that I would recommend to all!!Thanks Claire. XX

Claire you are still getting it oh so right. The ease with our request for the extra night, your food presentation/menus awesome, lodge wonderfully clean, the outdoor bath, the Kiwi, Thanks
