Whangaroa Harbour - just beautiful - probably one of my favourite ever spots here in Northland. So quiet, peaceful, more of a seasonal holiday place but also a great fishing area.
On the welcoming sign into the harbour it says "Te Wahapu O" meaning The Door to Whangaroa "Whanga" meaning wait and "roa" meaning long. Not sure of that translation - maybe it means The door to waiting there for a long time? who knows but I wanted to stay there longer it was so lovely.

Whanga (noun) Bay Cove Estuary Harbour 🙂
I like seasonal spots. There's plenty to see in the off season too.
Worth a Thousand Words
Best place for photography I thought. Please give your opinion about my captures.
Hello, pretty view and photo of the harbor. Enjoy your day and week ahead!
A peaceful looking spot.
We would be happy waiting there for a long time for sure! Our kind of place...boats and water...beautiful to just sit and gaze at the scenery (me) and check out all the boats (he]...although honestly we’d both do a little of both!
Beautiful quiet picture of the harbor
Whangarei ? I know Whanganui is Big Bay

A lovely view of the harbour through the welcome gates.
yes it really seems to be a nice place. And I understand your wish
Whangarei and Whanganui are 2 completely different cities.
I can see why you wanted to stay Amy, looks like a beautiful spot, photogenic too ☺

Whangaroa does translate as the long waiting. It comes from the story of Rauruiti whose husband had gone to war and she waited for his return. He was killed in battle, so her long wait was in vain.
