Kauri Arms Tavern

4.0(133 reviews)

About

Kauri Arms Tavern serves North Island as a bar or nightlife venue. The tavern sits at 195 Commerce Street in Kaitaia 0500, in the far north of the island.

With a score of 4 out of 5 from 133 reviews, Kauri Arms Tavern sits in the middle band of bars on North Island, above the island's weaker performers but short of its highest scorers. That body of feedback is sizeable for a bar of its kind, and the score has held across it. Auckland, Wellington, Rotorua, Taupo, Hamilton, Tauranga, Napier and New Plymouth are the other main centres on the island.

New Zealand weather is changeable, and the surrounding ocean keeps both summer heat and winter frost moderate. Traffic drives on the left across New Zealand, and hire cars are the usual way to travel on the larger islands. Tūī, kererū and other native birds are common, and dolphins, fur seals and seabirds are seen around the coast.

Kaitaia sits well north of Auckland, so the drive from the city takes in a long stretch of the island's upper reaches. The tavern gives locals and travellers a straightforward place to stop for a drink. A bar of this size in a small northern town draws a steady local crowd rather than a passing tourist trade.
