I like people…. and I love the Far North and New Zealand – it’s hard not to!

I’ve worked in a variety of jobs from a decorating apprenticeship to paint sales, a property manager to market research. I’ve learnt that you need to get along… to get along. In the jobs that I have had, I’ve met the weird and the wonderful and found that a smile, humour and a whole lot of empathy go a long way - regardless of where you come from or who you are.

When you visit the Awanui Visitor Centre we want to make sure that you feel welcome. Our aim is to give you as much help and guidance as possible - to make your holiday a fun and frustration free experience.

There are so many nooks and crannies in Northland - gorgeous bays and beaches, quaint cafes and craft shops, history, culture, stunning scenery and laidback lifestyle. It's all blended beautifully with local characters and friendly Kiwis.

Start your holiday at the birthplace of a nation – Northland, and come and see us at Awanui Visitor Centre… Front door to the Far North. Please take a look at my photo gallery of friends and family taking full advantage of the multitude of activities available in this beautiful far north of New Zealand and our testimonials.
