Day one of a spring trip away. We went to Kerikeri where we checked out Roland's Wood. This is an English-style beech wood, famous for bluebells in spring. The area is planted out with other flowers and shrubs too and was worth a wander around.
Clivia at Rowland's Wood

The best pie I've ever had in NZ at the Cafe Cinema, Kerikeri
Parked at the NZMCA campground at rainbow Falls
Rainbow Falls (you can just see a bit of rainbow to the left of the waterfall). There was a lot of water cascading down and a lot of spray.
We walked along the track through native bush to the Stone Store/Kerikeri Basin. This is Wharepuke falls along the path.
Can't go past the Honey House cafe. our table had this nice view of the back of Kemp House, NZ's oldest building.
On the other side of the basin is Te Ahurea, formerly Rewa's Village, a reconstructed Maori village. We looked at their waka and canoe house, and checked the opening time for the next day...
