Welcome to Puhoi

Puhoi is situated on the beautiful Puhoi River and is one of New Zealand's two ethnic historic villages.

The village, 50 kilometers north of Auckland and the gateway to Matakana Coast & Country, was settled in 1863 by immigrants from Bohemia, an area which is now the Czech Republic.

Today, Puhoi retains its Bohemian atmosphere and culture. The story of its European settlement is well documented by the Bohemian museum. The Puhoi Pub, with a collection of artifacts and colorful characters, is the main draw as well as the century-old Puhoi Church and the Puhoi Town Library.
