Default whangarei anyone!!!!!!!

Hi

If its any use, we just got back from a trip to look at areas to live. We really fancied whangarei, and took a trip up there.
It was nice, it had pretty much all the facilities you could want - although we did think there would be regular trips to Auckland, and had a much slower feel. But for us, the complete lack of any way of getting to Auckland without driving did put us off. Its a good 2 hour drive, as the motorway only goes to Orewa, and then its slow single file with some passing lanes - esp. if anyone got stuck behind our very slow campervan on any sort of incline!
I wouldn't say for a second it felt isolated, but once your out the town, theres very little around for a distance.
But the houses dotted around the hills all gave great views!
Hope this is of use anyway.
