An easy drive by, but there will be lots of eyes watching. Good neighbourhood watch here! Discover the Magic of Tapeka Point
Tapeka Point is a major landmark consisting a large hill commanding views from Paihia and Waitangi across the Bay of Islands. The Tapeka Point community is accessed via Tapeka Road 2km from central Russell. Tapeka Point is the northern entrance to the Bay of Islands. The hill was originally a Maori Pa (fortification) prior to European settlement. The whole area above the houses is a public reserve with a good walking track taking a scenic route to the highest point where breathtaking 360' views await. With an outcrop of rocks and lighthouse, it is a main navigation point for vessels traveling between Opua, Paihia and Russell to the Bay of Islands. The Bay of Islands is located in the northern east coast of the New Zealand North Island
