Do you want to relax, just you and your partner? Sometimes it’s nice to get away from the city and enjoy some time to yourselves! You may be looking for the perfect weekend getaway outside of Auckland or maybe you are an international traveler and don’t know where to holiday in New Zealand; Whatever the reason, Orewa Beach is the perfect destination. Three kilometers of golden beach along the Hibiscus Coast, a beautiful, fast-growing township and plenty of shops, cafes, bars and restaurants – Orewa is a wonderful place to lose a weekend!
If you’re flying from abroad, book a rental car at Auckland Airport to make getting around easier. It’s less than an hour’s drive away and having your own means of transportation will give you the freedom you need to enjoy your vacation the way you want.

Talk to one of the local kitesurfing operators and arrange a kite, board and some great time in the ocean! Kitesurfing is amazing fun and there is nothing like having an experienced kiteboarder to show you the ropes. Forget paddling through the waves – have fun kitesurfing in the Hauraki Gulf.
