Tealmere Grove B&B – your base to explore the North

Tealmere Grove B&B is only 25 minutes away from the white beaches, Tutukaka Paradise Coast and Poor Knights islands, a marine reserve with the world biggest sea cave. No wonder Whangarei is the Dive Capital of New Zealand.

We are neighbours from Northland's Kiwi House & Museum and Heritage Park. Here you can catch a glimpse in the historic Clarke Homestead of the early settlers' life. And we are neighbours from the Lion Park known from TV. There are also many walking tracks in Whangarei and surrounding areas like a trail up to Mount Parahaki, 242 metres above the city with panoramic view of the city and harbour. Most beautiful is a visit to Whangarei Heads where you find remote and beautiful white sandy beaches, fringed with crimson flowering pohutukawa trees.

A must to every visitor of Whangarei is a trip to Whangarei Falls, dropping 25 metres into a beautiful bush-fringed pool.

In the heart of the city you can see yachts from all over the world, parked like cars along the award winning waterfront 'Quayside Town Basin'. Here you find the the largest collection of timepieces at the Claphams Clocks collection. Art galleries, craft and speciality shops with cafes and restaurants invite to enjoy the tranquil harbour setting.

So make Tealmere Grove B&B in Whangarei your base to explore the North with the Bay of Islands, Dargaville and the Kauri Coast. In the Bay of Islands visit historic Russell, once the Hell Hole of the Pacific and capital of New Zealand. Nearby is Paihia and Waitangi, where the historic Treaty was signed in 1840.
Dargaville and the Kauri Coast are even closer to Whangarei, just a 45 minute drive west. White sandy beaches and the Waipoua Forest with its mighty Kauri trees are awaiting you. It is here where the European pioneers of New Zealand started their journey.
