Dukes Nose, Whangaroa Harbour Adventure

Last year, after a really tough time having my second miscarriage my husband and I spent a long weekend at Dukes Nose in the Whangaroa Harbour in Northland, New Zealand. It's such a cool spot - you can stay in Lane Cove Hut, which you can get to with a few hours hike or by boat.

It's a short hike and climb up to Dukes Nose lookout from the hut. It’s not for the faint hearted as there is a bit of a rock climb at the end to get up. From there, you get breathtaking sunsets and sunrise. I tried to take a Milkyway photo, but it didn't quite work out due to fog. However, I did manage to get some other pretty awesome shots with the fog that made it look like a completely different place.

I can't wait to go back one day with my daughter when she's older and will be able to climb the last bit to Dukes Nose.
