The Blue Heron is unique. Established in the 1940's and one of a handful of waterfront holiday parks in Northland, the Blue Heron has been a part of New Zealand holidays for generations.

Named for the Blue Herons who nest in the 200-year-old pohutukawa trees , the park sits on a private peninsula at Tamaterau on the shores of the Whangarei Harbour. It is a nature lovers' haven with abundant bird and marine life.

Set in native, subtropical bush, our boutique size and standards ensure your holiday, conference, or special event will be magical.

Relax in one of our waterfront or waterview sites, caravans, cabins or self-contained holiday homes. Want to get out on the water? It surrounds you - fish from the shore or launch your boat from our boat ramp or the one adjacent. The Pines Golf Course is only a two-minute drive away for eighteen holes, take a five-minute stroll down the beach for a game of tennis, or take a short ride to a selection of white sandy coastal beaches, surfing and bushwalks.
