Kauri Point is a rural settlement in the Western Bay of Plenty District and Bay of Plenty Region of New Zealand's North Island. It is on a headland on the eastern side of Tauranga Harbour, opposite Matakana Island.[3]
A coastal walkway through Kauri Point Historic Reserve connects Kauri Point to Ongare Point.[4] There are mature pōhutakawa trees and three pā sites in the reserve.[5][6] A 200 metre long wooden jetty, built after 1947, provides fishing access to the harbour.[7][8]
Dorothy Morris was a pioneer of the kiwifruit industry in New Zealand who she converted her dairy farm on Kauri Point Road to kiwifruit in the 1950s.[9]
George Vesey Stewart, who organised settlement of Katikati in the 1870s, initially planned for the town to be established at Kauri Point.[10] The settlement at Kauri Point did not eventuate until the 1970s.[11]
