A forested, sub-tropical region located at the tip of New Zealand’s North Island, the Northland region is the perfect location for those wanting to retire in a warmer part of the country.

Framed by the Pacific Ocean to the east and the Tasman Sea to the west, the region is home to the beautiful Bay of Islands, revered wineries and historic towns. If you envisage a retirement by the sea, Northland’s mild climate means you’ll be able to spend plenty of days with sand underfoot.

There’s a reason why many New Zealander’s refer to this part of the country as the Winterless North.
