About Whangarei

Whangarei is to be found towards the top of the north island, and is the northern-most city in New Zealand and the regional capital of the Northland Region. The area is blessed with a magnificent choice of beaches, coastline and off-shore islands. The city also serves as the gateway to New Zealand’s Far North and the Bay of Islands, and is a region with an extensive wine-making history, the first vines were planted in Kerikeri in 1819.

For a town of approximately 50,000 people, Whangarei is recognised for its artistic and cultural diversity, and whose home can be found at the Whangarei Art Museum. More details of the city can be found at this whangareinz.com information site and for the Northland region where you are never more than 40kms from the coast and a selection of some of the finest beaches, coves and harbours in all of New Zealand. Northland is a fisherman and diver’s paradise, with one of the top diving sites in the world, the Poor Knight Islands hosting four diving wrecks (the twin wrecks Tui and Waikato off the Tutukaka Coast, the HMNZS Canterbury in the Bay of Islands and Greenpeace’s Rainbow Warrior in Matauri Bay).

Money in Whangarei

The New Zealand Dollar (NZD) is the local currency, and coins come in denominations of 10c, 20c, 50c, $1 and $2, with $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100 dollar notes.

When it comes time to convert your money to New Zealand dollars, it’s highly recommended that you do so via online transferal companies, as opposed to cash or travellers cheques. This is because banks are known to charge very high rates when dealing with these.

Crown recommends the services of OFX for converting your money online. People have been known to save hundreds, and sometimes thousands of dollars through this simple procedure. Visit  Moving your Money for more information.

Something else that could come in handy is opening up a New Zealand bank account before arriving in the country. This makes the transferal process of your converted money much easier and again minimises the extra costs that are commonly involved with this process.

There are a number of banks that offer easy, online sign up services, including; Westpac, Kiwibank and Bank of New Zealand.
