They say “rules are made to be broken” and you certainly have to bend them occasionally, even if they’re just your own, self-imposed rules. So, while this blog mainly concerns the North Shore and its environs, I like to extend the boundaries once in a while….. We make a late getaway from the Shore on a Saturday afternoon, cruise up SH1 and turn left at Brynderwyn, continuing along the Kaipara Coast Highway until we reach the sleepy hamlet of Paparoa. The old BNZ bank, with its Category One Heritage status, is home to a fabulous restaurant.
