Beach Info
The Kerikeri basin is a popular walking, picnicking and swimming spot located by the historic Mission House and The Stone Store. The Kororipo Pā Historic Walk, Hongi Hika Walk and the Kerikeri River Track which follows the river upstream to the Rainbow Falls connect to the two car parks on either side of the bridge crossing the Waipekakoura River. The Honey House Cafe and Plough and Feather restaurant overlook the basin and provide a great range of food and drinks.
