The Historic Bohemian Village Puhoi

Amongst Puhoi's many attractions are: Canoeing on the scenic tidal Puhoi River- all the way (with the tide) to Wenderholm. Pick up there or here - depending on the tidal direction at very reasonable cost. Phone Larry at Kauriglen or Puhoi Canoe Hire- (Cody and Katherine) at 09 422 0891.

"Art of Cheese" cafe, see the cheese being made (mornings till midday) through the huge glass picture window. Worlds best coffee, wine cheese and snacks.

Historic Puhoi, the Bohemium Museum, "THE PUB" including all the local colour and Friday/Saturday nights at the Puhoi Combined Sports and Community Club. Phone Larry at Kauriglen for contact details.

Puhoi Show week in early February, the mini Coast to Coast multi sport event in October and much more.

Puhoi reserve with childrens playground, walks along the river and back roads, mountain biking mecca.

A short step to Parry Kauri Park just outside Warkworth - see two monster Kauri trees and the Kauri museum - without all the travel to the Far North !

Mahurangi and Wenderholm reserves - if you can find better beaches than these - anywhere ! - then you will be lucky !
