Ohope Scenic Reserve, Maraetotara 3191, Bay of Plenty, New Zealand
At least one visit to Ohope Scenic Reserve is a must if you are on holiday at Ohope Beach.
The Ohope Scenic Reserve includes one of the country’s largest remaining coastal pohutukawa forests and has outstanding scenic and conservation values. The Reserve is home too many native birds including kiwi, tui, bellbirds and fantails. During the summer flowering season, the reserve is ablaze with brilliant crimson flowers and the walk is a very special experience. Further inland the bush changes from typical coastal forest of pohutukawa, kohe, karaka, titoki, ngaio and akeake to other native trees such as rewarewa, tawa and kanuka.
