This is a quiet and peaceful home in a lovely neighbourhood. You'll have views of the stream that runs beside the property and hear it in the background as well. We are very well located to anything you'd want to do in Whangarei. It is the perfect base if you are here supporting visiting sports teams, as it is an easy 5 minute stroll to Kensington Park. Also a short walk to the beautiful Sub Tropical Quarry Gardens and Quail Cafe
It would suit 2 couples or a family, however if it's just you, you'll be just as happy.
Your best option for transport here is to have your own car or hire one. There's some nice cafe's and Kensington Sports Park within easy walking distance. But if you'd like to explore the area further a vehicle would be ideal.
