Orewa River

4.2(13 reviews)

About

Orewa River serves North Island as a viewpoint in Región de Auckland, New Zealand.

A 4.2 out of 5 average from 13 reviews reflects a modest but positive response from those who have stopped here. Auckland is the nearest of the main centres, and the viewpoint sits within the Auckland region rather than far down the island. Wellington, Hamilton, Tauranga and Rotorua lie further afield, while Taupo, Napier and New Plymouth sit along the routes south and west.

Access is by road from Auckland, and the spot is passed on the way north.

Seasons here run opposite to the northern hemisphere, with summer from December to February and winter from June to August, so the warm months fall at the end of the year. English is the main language and te reo Māori is also official, which is why Māori place names appear throughout the country. Hāngī, a meal cooked in an earth oven, and the pavlova dessert are both part of New Zealand food culture.
