Local Employment
There are many restaurants, cafes, hotels and lodges in Northland. The busiest time in this area is summer. The region boasts everything from exclusive lodges to everyday cafes. This is a wonderful place to work if you love water sports and the great outdoors.
Other areas of employment are available on day charters - from dinner cruises to sailing and diving. Northland is a favourite tourist destination, especially the Bay of Islands and the historic town of Kerikeri. Diving and fishing are particularly popular visitor activities, especially around the Bay of Islands and the Poor Knights Islands chain. The region's economy is based on agriculture (notably beef cattle), fishing, forestry, and horticulture. Citrus fruit makes up the majority of the latter industry, with lemons, oranges and tamarillos all being produced. Avocados are widely grown, as well as kumara (especially in Ruawai part of the Kaipara district). Olive groves flourish on the Aupouri Peninsula.
