About an hour's drive from Auckland, Muriwai is another great beach to visit on a day trip from Auckland. It’s a great place to go surfing and boogie boarding, and also has a large colony of gannets who congregate on the rocks. Bring a picnic or head to Sand Dunz up the road for some takeaways and ice cream.

Top Rodney District Hotel Reviews

Whangaparaoa Lodge Motel

10/10 Excellent

"The room was lovely and spacious. Kitchen was well equipped and had everything you required. Bathroom was a good size and again well equipped with toiletries. Spa bath was great. Towels were a good size. Bedroom was spacious and bed very comfortable. Balcony was a good size with table and chairs. Laundry facilities great. Bus stop just outside, if required, with regular service. Beach across the road. Shops just a 10 minutes walk away and had everything you would want. A brilliant stay and would highly recommend. Hosts went above and beyond, very helpful, family friendly and accommodating. The Christmas tree in the room was a lovely touch as was a Santa gift bag left on the door of our room. Would definitely stay here again."
