90 Mile Beach and Cape Reinga Accommodation: Northland, New Zealand

Our plan was to visit 90 mile beach and Cape Reinga, stay for 1 night somewhere in Northland, New Zealand, and head back to Auckland to stay with our friends Keith and Carol, then to find short-term jobs somewhere in New Zealand.

Instead, because Mark and Nessy were so great, made us a part of their family, and showed us many of the fun activities of Northland, New Zealand, we stayed one night at The J Taitokerau, went to 90 Mile Beach and Cape Reinga the next day, and came back to the J Taitokerau for a second night. We stayed a third night, a fourth night, and kept staying.

Mark and Nessy have invited us into their family, have introduced us to their friends, and we truly have a home here in the north of New Zealand.

The beds here at The J Taitokerau are some of the most comfortable we’ve stayed in, the rooms are large and each has both a fridge and television as well as coffee and tea making necessities.

Not that you even need that in the room because there is a full kitchen and living room.

The kitchen has more amenities, utensils, and place settings than ours did in Colorado. The fridge is large, there are two ovens, two sinks, and a dishwasher. The common space is shared by just five rooms.

If you are looking for a great accommodation in-between the Bay of Islands and 90 Mile Beach/Cape Reinga (which allows you an easy way to do and see both), we highly recommend you stay at The J Taitokerau.

This has been a fantastic 11 days here in the north of New Zealand, and the start of a lifelong friendship with Mark and Nessy.
