Hi RPH, Yes I've visited Batley NZ a couple of times. It's a farming community set in rolling countryside on the Kaipara Harbour with a lovely beach. It's  well worth a visit.

A bit like here then!

the community at Batley, which was home to roughly 200 people in its heyday.

Basically its just Batley House now at the far end of a river leading to the Sea water Bay,  a caravan park and a few tiny chalets.
the Fish Factory has long gone
