Gulf Harbour

Gulf Harbour Marina A world class marina, restaurants, cafes and a daily ferry service direct to Auckland City. Gulf Harbor Marina is right next to a world class golf course, the same golf course used as the location for the World Cup of Golf just 5 years ago. A new motel is situated just minutes from the marina, plus there are homestay options available. A particularly nice new self contained unit with beautiful views is situated at Manly Village, close to all restaurants and still only a few kilometres from the Marina.
Fish Species Snapper This is the bread-and-butter fish for the majority of New Zealanders. They are found consistently around the entire North Island but are less widespread down south. The average size fish are around 2-3kg, but the really big specimens get up to 15kg and can put up an impressive fight. Kahawai The Kahawai is widespread throughout New Zealand and will be found from estuaries to the outer islands. This sleek fish has an average size of 40-50 cm long which would weigh around the 2-3kg mark. Their tremendous fighting ability has earned them a reputation as a top light tackle game fish, especially on salt-water fly (SWF). They can be found year round and will be enticed by plenty of berley. Yellowtail Kingfish This is another species that put New Zealand on the map as a major sport fishing destination. Kingies reach their maximum size in New Zealand with almost all world records coming from our waters. The all tackle world record stands at 52kg, a size of fish that is held equally in both 15 and 24kg line classes. These big powerful fish are relatively plentiful and easy to target, but landing them is another story altogether as they are virtually unstoppable and normally inhabit relatively foul areas. We are more than happy to cater for small groups and special occasions. Why not surprise a friend or colleague and arrange a great day's out.
