Getting to know Kerikeri

Kerikeri the largest town in Northland, New Zealand, is a tourist destination 240 kilometres north of Auckland and 80 kilometres north of the northern region's largest city, Whangarei.    It is sometimes called the Cradle of the Nation, as it was the site of the first permanent mission station in the country, and it has some of the most historic buildings in the country. 

Kerikeri now attracts visitors for its boutique wineries, shopping, galleries, and restaurants. Dine at one of the many outdoor cafés or wineries, indulge in delicious handmade chocolates or limoncello.   Kerikeri also has its own natural skincare range, which is ‘made of New Zealand’. Within minutes by car or an hour's walk from the Kerikeri Basin car park is the 27 metre Rainbow Falls, one of five waterfalls in the area, all linked by walking tracks.   Further afield lies the Puketi Forest, an ideal place to tramp and view kauri trees from a boardwalk which also has wheelchair access.
