Doubtless Bay

Considered by many to be the ultimate Northland destination, with something for everyone, the Doubtless Bay area encompasses several seaside townships and the quaint little fishing village of Mangonui.

All around there's an abundance of superb, safe beaches - Coopers Beach, Cable Bay, Taipa, Tokerau Beach, Whatuwhiwhi and many more. Each has its own special character, ranging from rugged and rocky to sheltered and sublime.

Doubtless Bay boasts over 70km
of unspoilt coastline and an
abundance of safe beaches.

You can swim, dive, surf, hire a kayak, sail, go cruising, water ski, surfcast from rock or beach, fish from hired craft or the Mangonui wharf, dig for shellfish or relax and do nothing at all.

If you are not in, on or under the water, you will certainly be close to it. Whatever your choice, in a peaceful environment you can soak up the sunshine in a subtropical climate, far from motorways, traffic lights and the stress of city life. Here, the water is clean, the air is clear, the beauty is unforgettable and nowhere is crowded. It's a gentle, happy escape.

A wide range of accommodation is available within Doubtless Bay. From an international standard resort hotel and conference centre at Taipa, newly developed golf course and lodge, historic inns and hotels, to luxurious lodges, motels, bed and breakfast, homestays, back packers, holiday parks and camping grounds. Restaurants are excellent and the country's reputed best fish and chips are here too.
