Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Whangarei Heads?
The best area to stay in Whangarei Heads is along the coast, particularly around the areas of Parua Bay, McLeod Bay, and Ocean Beach.

Parua Bay is a good base for those who appreciate convenience and access to local amenities. It's home to a small supermarket, a few cafes, and a petrol station, making it easy to resupply. The bay itself is generally calm, suitable for kayaking or paddleboarding, and there are several walking tracks nearby, including ones leading to scenic lookouts.

McLeod Bay offers a slightly more secluded feel with direct beach access. It's a popular spot for families due to its generally calm waters and a playground near the shore. There are also a few holiday rentals with stunning water views here.

Ocean Beach, on the Pacific coast, is ideal for those seeking a more rugged, surf-orientated experience. This expansive sandy beach is known for its rolling waves and is a popular spot for swimming and bodyboarding. While there are fewer amenities directly at Ocean Beach, it's only a short drive from McLeod Bay and Parua Bay for supplies.
When is the best time to go to Whangarei Heads?
The best time to visit Whangarei Heads is during the summer months, from December to February, when the weather is warm and sunny, superb for enjoying the beaches and outdoor activities.

During this period, you can expect long, bright days with average temperatures ranging from 20-25°C. This makes it ideal for swimming, surfing, kayaking, and exploring the numerous walking tracks around the Heads. Many local events and markets also take place during these months, adding to the holiday atmosphere. Couples and families will find this an excellent time for a relaxing beach holiday with plenty of opportunities for outdoor adventure.

Alternatively, the shoulder seasons of spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) also offer pleasant weather, usually with fewer crowds. Temperatures are milder, typically between 15-20°C, which is still very comfortable for walking and sightseeing. You might experience occasional rain, but there are still plenty of clear, warm days.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if canceled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. If free cancellation is available, you can cancel directly through your Expedia account by logging in, going to "My Trips", and selecting your reservation.

All sorts of factors affect price, such as the time of year or the days of the week you choose for your stay. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for the cheapest rate.
