Kaurivale Bed and Breakfast on the Kauri Coast, Northland, New Zealand

Hi, we're Steve and Kate Smith. Welcome to Kaurivale!
We're originally from the UK, but have lived and farmed in the north of New Zealand for the past 29 years. New Zealand is a wonderful country with friendly people, beautiful isolated beaches, mighty forests, clean crystal rivers and much more. We love this part of the country with it's warm sub tropical climate, wonderful beaches and lakes and a great farming lifestyle.

Just 10 minutes north of Dargaville, in the heart of Northland - Kaurivale offers quality Bed and Breakfast accommodation in a friendly Kiwi atmosphere. 3 hours drive north from Auckland International Airport, Kaurivale has proved to be an excellent first stop for many international visitors, looking for a quiet place to relax and wind down. Alternatively as a last stop before flying out. Kaurivale is also an excellent base for people who wish to take a little more time to explore the wonders of the Kauri Coast.

If you're travelling with your horse, boat, bike, kayak etc, we've got room to spare for grazing and safe, secure parking and we're happy to pick you up from Dargaville if need be. If you're on the road a lot in this area, enquire about our corporate rates. ...I recommend you warmly a stay at Kaurivale, for one night of peacefulness or to live the full farming experience for a few days. Enjoy your stay. - Chantal Charbonneau, Quebec, Canada.
