New Zealand Pic of the Day.



Heres a sweet little pic of the day from Port Waikato.
Discover a hidden gem of New Zealand just an hour south of Auckland - Port Waikato. Stroll along the sublime beaches, surf some good waves, tramp the dunes, or just enjoy the laid back atmosphere of this seaside township.

The 'Port', as the locals call it, is a magical place where you can experience true Kiwiana. The pace of life is a bit slower and relaxed and beauty of New Zealand natures abounds all around. Whether its the majestic sand dunes, the mighty Waikato river which flows into the Tasman Sea, the impressive surf on Sunset Beach or the otherwordly limestone landscapes in the hinterland - there is always something beautiful to discover at Port Waikato.
