Greetings Everyone - Join us on Sunday as we travel north to Wenderholm Regional Park to explore.
🟡 Some words to Inspire you:
Join us this Sunday for a stunning coastal circuit through Wenderholm and Waiwera. We’ll start from the main carpark toilets and head out clockwise along the Te Akeake Walk to the sandbar, taking in the estuary views before making our way toward historic Couldrey House.
From there, we’ll climb the Maungatauhoro Te Hikoi Track, turn right near the top onto Couldrey House Track, then left onto Puhoi Track down through the forest to the Waiwera River. We’ll continue left along the riverbank to peaceful Kokoru Bay for a relaxed lunch stop.
After lunch, we’ll return along the coastline to Wenderholm Beach, finishing the day with an AGT after‑function at the Sugarloaf Bar in Waiwera.
Duration: About 3-4 hours hike including stops.
Distance: Approx 7-9 km.
Difficulty: 2.5 on our 1-5 scale for day hikes.
Toilets: At the Start
High Tide: 10.32
Low Tide: 3.41pm
🟡 Costs:
Carpoolers: $10 - Please pay the driver cash at Freemans Bay, otherwise you may not be able to come.
