Things to Do Around Kerikeri...

Kerikeri and the wider Bay of Islands and Northland have some of the best attractions in the country. The best thing is that all of them are within a few hours of the Abilene Motel.

From the Town Basin in Whangarei to Cape Reinga at the tip of the North Island there is an activity to do or place to see. We have collated a few of them for you here to get an idea as to what you could get up to here in the North.

If you would like to visit any of these places we can help you organise things. Have a look and get ready for the time of your life...
