friendly locals, happy cafes and people enjoying life whether it is swimming
with dolphins, taking in a spot of retail therapy, bush walking or just
lazing on the beach. Nearby is the historic
settlement of Waitangi to the north, and the residential and commercial
areas of Haruru Falls/Watea to the west; the townships of Opua and Russell and the small
