Want to go to a tropical island? 🏖️ Well this is NZs next best thing!!

Photos speak for themselves, make sure this is 💯 on your list!

Kai Iwi Lakes in Northland is a chill spot for camping, swimming, fishing, and just kicking back with your crew. The lakes have white sandy beaches perfect for soaking up the sun or taking a dip when it's warm. You can also explore hiking tracks around the lakes and set up camp at Pine Beach or Promenade Point. It's a laid-back vibe with pine forests and clear water - a great escape from the hustle and bustle. Just follow State Highway 12 and you'll find this gem off Kai Iwi Lakes Road.
