Free time To explore Whangarei

For garden buffs adjacent to Botanica is Cafler Park. Cafler Park is one of the best known parks in the central city. The park can be accessed by foot from Water Street, from the city end of First Avenue or from the Forum North carpark. Within the park are the city’s rose gardens, a number of sculptures, manicured laws and colourful flower gardens. The Waiarohia River runs along its western boundary. A classic garden reminiscent of planting styles denoting the use of public spaces.

Free time to explore Whangarei. Check travel pack information for inspiration or simply return to the Reyburn Gallery for another wander. Perhaps you are fascinated by the Packard Motor Museum and a short trip out of town or journey to Ruapekapeka Pa military site to immerse yourself in the story of New Zealand.
