Wenderholm Regional Park, Auckland, North Island, New Zealand The long, sandy, tranquil beach and shady pohutukawa trees along the foreshore are the main attractions to the Wenderholm Regional Park. There are also native forest walks that climb the park's headland which lies between the Waiwera and Puhoi Rivers. Hikers are rewarded with long range views up the Puhoi River valley and out across the sea to the distant islands of the Hauraki Gulf. #roadtrip
