Location
Doubtless Bay is one of the oldest parts in New Zealand, dating from the early 1800s when it was a whaling base.
The Doubtless Bay area extends from Taupo Bay in the east to the Karikari Peninsula in the west. It includes the settlements of Hihi, Coopers Beach, Cable Bay, Taipa and Whatuwhiwhi, with its centre in busy Mangonui. All around the area, accommodation is varied and plentiful - from international- standard resort hotels and conference centres, to holiday parks, motels and self-contained apartments.
You will find a great choice of eating places, among them, by reputation, New Zealand's best fish and chip shop, excellent golf courses and superb fishing, diving, surfing and bathing.
Situated 45 minutes drive north of the historic Bay of Islands, 20 km further to the north is Doubtless Bay and the quaint little village of Mangonui, with its craft shops, cafes, bars and grills. Visit the Flax Bush craft shop for that special gift.
Go by boat to the magnificent West arm of the Whangaroa Harbour, with its prehistoric atmosphere, awesome rock formations and secluded bays, and only 15 minutes away by boat. On the way take a trip through our very local hole in the rock .
