Accommodation near Howden British & Irish Lions Women v Black Ferns XV

Big fixtures rarely start and end with the match itself. A place near the venue gives your group somewhere to gather before kick off, a short trip back after the final whistle, and a slow morning before the drive home.

Whangārei is the main city of Northland, at the head of Whangārei Harbour on the east coast of the North Island, with the Hātea River running through the centre to the Town Basin and Parihaka rising above the eastern side of town. A house in the suburbs or a bach along the coast suits a group in town for the match, with the Tutukaka Coast to the east and the Bream Bay beaches to the south within reach.
