Action, the outdoor life and the arts: a visit to new Zealand would not be complete without a trip to the natural paradise of Northland, where the Maiories first landed in their canoes. The landscape is still completely unspoilt, from its ancient Kauri forests to its hundreds of kilometres of gorgeous coastline. It has been the inspiration for countless artists, and nowadays is a stronghold for the performing, visual and literary arts, as well as Toi Maori, the traditional art of weaving. All kinds of festivals take place throughout the year and the sub-topical climate offers long, warm summers with balmy evenings to enjoy it all. Farming, forestry and tourism have contributed to the region's constant steady growth.
Property for sale in Northland includes many opulent homes and villas with gardens or extensive plots of land. Matapouri Bay in Northland is one of the country's premier beach destinations. Many seaside communities also offer mid-range investment real estate opportunities.
