It’s always interesting to see how other communities approach housing, environmental and social needs.

New tourism & visitor website – feedback wanted 🌿

Our mission is to highlight everything that makes Kerikeri a great place to visit – and give people more reasons to come here, stay longer, explore more and spend locally.

We’ve been working on a new visitor website:

www.kerikeri.co.nz

It brings together places to stay, eat and drink, things to do, shopping, walks, heritage, attractions and some of the great destinations right on our doorstep.

Have a look around and tell us what you think. Are we missing a must-see place, local experience or business? Is there something visitors should know about Kerikeri that we haven’t captured? Or do you simply have a great idea that would make the site better?

We’d love to hear from you.

Discover Kerikeri in the Bay of Islands — where art, artisans, culture, food and nature come together. Explore markets, galleries, waterfalls, gardens and unforgettable local experiences.

🏮 Congratulations to our Lantern Competition winners! 🏮

A huge congratulations to our winners, and a big thank you to everyone who took the time to create a lantern and be part of the competition. We loved seeing all the creativity, colour and effort that went into them.

The lanterns have now been taken down today. If you entered and would like to keep your lantern, you’re very welcome to collect it from Whitelaw Weber over the next two weeks.

📍 Whitelaw Weber, 10 Fairway Drive, Kerikeri
🕣 Monday–Friday, 8.30am–4.30pm

Any lanterns that haven’t been collected after two weeks will be disposed of.

Thank you again to everyone who got involved — you helped make this little winter project something that made people smile 😀

📸 PHOTOS WANTED – TARONUI RESERVE

We’re hard at work building a new website for Kerikeri, designed especially for visitors to our beautiful part of Northland.

One of the places we’d love to feature in our Explore / Great Outdoors section is Taronui Reserve – and we’re looking for some amazing, high-resolution photos that really capture this special local spot.

Do you have a great photo of Taronui Reserve that you’d be happy for us to use at no cost to help showcase Kerikeri?

We’d love to hear from you! Please PM us your photos or email them to [email protected].

You can take a look at work so far on the new website here: https://kerikeri.co.nz

Thank you for helping us show current and future visitors just how much Kerikeri (& surrounds) have to offer 🙏

Recent events have renewed our energy to work towards securing long term ownership of The Old Packhouse Market in community hands. BUT we need some help. Anyone with some skills, or know someone with these skills? We promise to make it fun.

We are so grateful for the people in our community who help us with lantern competitions, tourism initiatives, Christmas events, writing Council submissions, writing funding applications and so much more. It takes a village to raise a village. Thank you.

Giving back is coming at a cost as Northland organisations face volunteer shortages.

We’re really excited by this!! 🛫🛬🇳🇿
