Wairere Boulders

Wairere Boulders is a nature reserve and camping destination in the Hokianga, Far North, New Zealand. Its stated aim is to provide a mix of adventure and tranquillity in a unique New Zealand setting, with activities including walking, hiking, bouldering, swimming and kayaking. The site offers amenities such as an information centre, barn and picnic sites, BBQ, firepit, bike rack, showers and toilets, and sells frozen meals, ice-creams and bike repair kits. Admission fees apply for park entrance, bouldering mats and camping. The property also keeps a herd of Highland cattle and produces 'Boulder Beef'.

The Wairere Boulders property shares in the early history of the region; at the tip of the campground (on the estuary) is the site of New Zealand's first water powered sawmill. The Hokianga region surrounding the Hokianga Harbour in the Far North of New Zealand is sparsely populated with many little clusters of houses in a rural setting. Its full Māori placename is Hokianga-nui-a-Kupe. Māori legend relates that Wairere was one of the eleven taniwha sons of Araiteuru of Hokianga Harbour.
