When to rent a villa in Northland

Northland's subtropical climate means that it enjoys mild temperatures throughout the year, making it an ideal destination for a villa holiday. Summer (December to February) is the peak tourist season, with warm days and long evenings perfect for outdoor activities like swimming, fishing, and exploring the region's many beaches and coves. However, if you're looking for a more relaxed atmosphere and lower prices, consider visiting during the shoulder season (April to May or September to November), when the weather is still pleasant and the crowds have thinned out.

If you're interested in specific activities like whale watching, dolphin spotting, or seeing the region's stunning wildflowers in bloom, plan your visit accordingly. Whale watching season typically runs from July to November, while dolphins can be spotted throughout the year. The wildflowers, which include iconic species like the Kowhai and the Pohutukawa, usually bloom from September to November. Whatever time of year you choose, Northland's villas offer a comfortable and convenient base for exploring this beautiful region.

Where to go in Northland
