Independent in Ngataki from NZ$150

The best area to stay in Ngataki is along the Aupouri Peninsula, particularly near the Ninety Kilometre Beach access points.


This area is characterised by its long, sandy stretches of beach and proximity to the region's natural attractions. It's largely rural, with accommodations often providing direct access to the beach or stunning views of the coast. The main road, State Highway 1, runs through the area, making it easy to navigate.


Couples looking for a peaceful and romantic getaway will find this area perfect. The isolation of the peninsula allows for uninterrupted stargazing, long walks on the beach, and a chance to disconnect. Many accommodations offer private patios or balconies where you can enjoy the sunset over the Tasman Sea.


For families, staying near the beach access points provides endless opportunities for outdoor activities. Children can enjoy building sandcastles, swimming (with caution, as the ocean can be powerful), and exploring the dunes.
