Kohukohu

Cohukohu might look like a dozy little place, but there is enough to please the visit. Angling from the quay, a stroll on the rugged Mitimiti coast, a visit to the Geddes Gallery and Village Arts and a view of the arts will all add to the charms of Kohukohu.

That'?s why Kohukohu. Charles Heaphy's picture shows G. F. Russell's home and woodland at Kohukohu, Hokianga Harbour, with a barge and barge carrying Francis Spaight (closer ship) and the Bolina (left) carrying cauri bars; and a rowing craft pulling bars. First registered Europeans entering the port of Hokianga came in 1819 and in the 1830' Kohukohu was the core of New Zealand's wood processing industries.

In 1838, 8 kilometers south of Kohukohu, at Totara Point, the country's first Romanesque fair was held. Kohukohu was an important wood mill city and the biggest trading center in the northern part of the port for almost a hundred years.

Kohukohu is a quiet and picturesque coastal city.

Kohukohu is a quiet and picturesque coastal city. Embedded in the port of Hokianga, it houses many monuments from the Kauri mill era. During the Kauri grinding era, Kohukohu was the biggest city at the port of Hokianga. There is still a lot of historical to see on the roads - historic mansions, the Masonic lodge, the Anglican church, a policestation and an old synagogue.

The Kohukohu is four kilometers from the Hokianga pier - a car shuttle links the north side of the port with Rawene on the south side.
