Getting there
We have not checked a road end or car park for this place yet, so we do not give driving directions to it. Check how to get there before you go. Some routes cross private land and need the landowner's permission.
How to get there, on doc.govt.nzThe Taronui Recreation Reserve Track starts approximately 16.2 km north of Kerikeri.
From Kerikeri, take the Heritage Bypass north, turn right onto Waipapa Road, then Landing Road, then Kapiro Road. You can also get to Kapiro Road turning off from SH10.
From Kapiro Road, turn into Purerua Road, then left into Hewitt Road. The reserve is signposted on the corner of Hewitt Road, and there is a carpark at the entrance.
There is no vehicle access to Taronui Bay. You can only walk to the Taronui Recreation Reserve along the track. Signs and orange warratahs along the track mark the route.
Alternatively, the reserve can be reached from Tapuaetahi Beach at low tide.
