Whether you're a nature lover, history buff, or simply in need of some serene beach time, Paihia has something special for everyone.

Waitangi Treaty Grounds

A visit to Paihia would be incomplete without stepping foot on the Waitangi Treaty Grounds, the birthplace of New Zealand as a nation. Here, you can immerse yourself in the country's history and learn about the Treaty of Waitangi, signed in 1840. The beautifully carved meeting house and the world's largest ceremonial war canoe are sights to behold.

Haruru Falls

Just a short drive from Paihia, Haruru Falls is a natural spectacle that showcases the power and beauty of water. The name Haruru means "big noise," and the falls live up to it, with water cascading down in a horseshoe shape.
