The Kawhia Emblem explained
Kawhia is known in Māori lore as the final resting place of the ancestral waka (canoe) Tainui. Soon after arrival, captain Hoturoa made it first priority to establish a whare wananga (sacred school of learning) which was named Ahurei. The harbour area was the birthplace of prominent Māori warrior chief Te Rauparaha of the Ngāti Toa tribe.
Sir Colin Meads
Te Kuiti. The 2.9m high sculpture was made to honour the 55 test All Black nicknamed "Pinetree."
Conrad
Went fishing with our host and Kawhia Camp owner. For the cost of a donation for petrol we got a freezer full of Snapper and great company. Brilliant. Well done mate.
Kawhia Harbour

Sir Colin Meads

Tidal Flats
View from Scape Holiday Park right on waters edge. One of the best run and serviced motor camps we've stayed at. Plus fantastic fishing with Conrad, Camp owner.
Gateway to Kawhia
A small town, population less than 400. A hidden gem. Tidal but a beautiful harbour. Great for Schnapper fishing.
