Workation in Paihia: the essentials
Waitangi, where the treaty that underpins modern New Zealand was signed in 1840, begins at the northern end of Paihia. The town itself is small, a waterfront strip of motels, tour desks and restaurants in the subtropical Bay of Islands, 60 km north of Whangārei. Boats leave for dolphin cruises, the Hole in the Rock and diving on the Rainbow Warrior wreck, and a passenger ferry crosses to historic Russell. Summer fills the place and rentals get scarce; winter is wet and quiet, and beyond the waterfront you need a car. Kerikeri Airport is about 16 km away.
