vic008 17 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Would love to see an updated list of Northland shops. Yes to Mangonui,Paihia,Russell, Opua,anymore? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B00B00 310 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 We stopped at mangonui but i didnt note if there was water or not sorry. The water bouy in whangaroa was fully functional when we were there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dtwo 157 Posted January 8, 2021 Author Share Posted January 8, 2021 Cheers but that Whangaroa water is not drinkable? I'd have to drink Heineken all day.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The sign says non-potable though? Any experience with Mangonui Steve? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ex Elly 197 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Maybe try the Mangonui cruising club jetty? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B00B00 310 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Everyone in our group drank the whangaroa water and had no issues. But we did put it though a filter. The same with the Russel water. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have taken water from Manganui, no problems, Whangaroa water is from a dammed creek, rather like the water from Smokehouse bay. Probably wouldn't pass some of the tests that are done these days. But having lived on tank water for 2/3's of my life I probably have very good protection from "bugs" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
armchairadmiral 411 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Yeah...we tip ???? is it Jeyes fluid in Barrier ,Whangaroa & Manganui water. Tastes OK & apparently ( less danger than Covid as we havent died) potable Quote Link to post Share on other sites
weap10 5 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Houhora has water at game fishing club wharf and a four square 100m up the hill form the main wharf. Was pretty disappointed we couldn't find any takeaway beer in whangaroa. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ex Elly 197 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Yes, the closure of the Boyd Gallery general store in Whangaroa is a big loss. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

O_Smiladon 4 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 I am up there this weekend. (By Car 🙄 ) I will check it out .and report back. Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
O_Smiladon 4 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 I can confirm. No. No drinking water unless you get it from the 4 Square. No water tap on the wharf. But saw this lovely old girl flying French flag. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
