- What’s so great about Pukekohe
What’s so great about Pukekohe: what to do and best things to see
Auckland, North Island
Vegetables, the landscape is dominated by massive commercial growers however that’s only one side of the story of Pukekohe
Pukekohe there are plenty of things to do. Pukekohe is not just an enormous vegetable patch rather it’s a microcosm of New Zealand’s past with a significant battle site for the nineteenth century Land Wars, the story of the growth of commercial rural agribusiness and magnificent natural reserves and parks in its back yard.
There are activities to amuse visitors from being scared deliberately at Spookers Scream or spending time on a nostalgic steam train at Glenbrook.
Pukekohe is worth a detour from State Highway one or a day trip from Auckland for visitors wishing to experience authentic New Zealand life outside the main centres.
For other trips and holiday inspiration check out Auckland Road Trips .
What to do in Pukekohe, highlights
- Awhitu Peninsula and Manukau Heads Lighthouse. The Awhitu Peninsula is well worth a visit for its beautiful scenery and dramatic views.
- Glenbrook Vintage Railway
- Golf courses
- Spookers scream park
- New Zealand Warbirds Visitor Centre for aviation buffs
The thriving country town supports urban style cafes and restaurants with an extensive range of fresh produce at the Saturday morning market. The golf courses are considered outstanding attracting visitors year round. For vintage rail fans check Glenbrook railway for their weekend steam train journeys. Walkers and nature lovers will not be disappointed in Awhitu Peninsula, Manukau Heads Lighthouse where the wild west coast beaches routinely put on spectacular displays of surging waves pounding the iron sands.

- Spookers Scream House
- Glenbrook Railway
- Samuel miller reserve, a great playground and the location for local events
Festivals in Pukekohe
- Motorsport annual V8 International Supercar event

- Christmas parade featuring, wait for it… Vegetable decorative floats supporting Father Xmas.
- Franklin Historical Society facebook page notes, “Did you know 13 of the 1534 residents of Pukekohe died in the 1918 influenz epidemic. That is over half the total number of people who died of Covid19 in 2020. (2020 covid19 deaths recorded was 25). Nearby Huntly has 26 people in the 1918 epidemic of 1533)”.
- Waikato, the scene for the nineteenth century NZ Land Wars echoed in a tiny church. Pukekohe’s heritage East Presbyterian church was a witness to the Waikato War. A battalion of Maori warriors attacked a semi-completed stockade resulting in loss of life for both sides of the conflict. The Māori warriors hid the bodies of their slain in the hollows and branches of large trees around the church. A mounted boulder now marks their resting place in the cemetery. The church still bears bullet holes from the battle.

Who turned up and named Pukekohe
- Pukekohe’s name originates from Puke: hill; kohe: native tree. Many of these trees grew in the district.

Pukekohe fame
- Pukekohe long keep onion born and raised in Puke along with its relatives, garden fresh vegetables
- Possum Bourne, rally car driver (home town lad) has a life size bronze statue in Pukekohe. Died 2003 from injuries in a car crash on Snow Farm access road, Cardrona.
Pukekohe notoriety
- The success of pioneering Chinese and Indian growers in the 1920s made Pukekohe the home of the reactionary White New Zealand League (1926) yet counterbalancing white supremacy was the birth of the Pukekohe Indian Association.
- Racism, 1963 market gardener, Rai Wai Ching threw his hat into contesting a parliamentary seat to illustrate prejudice. Mr Ching spoke about not being served a drink in the local bar and threats to his life if he complained. Attitudes to seasonal workers including Maori and Indian were also questioned.

26,500 (2020)
What keeps Pukekohe ticking?
Vegetables, market gardens and proximity to major markets. The fertile, free draining volcanic soil from Pukehohe–Bombay south to Pukekawa produces one-third of New Zealand’s fresh vegetables. The northern slopes of Pukekohe Hill have a well deserved reputation for potatoes.

Travel pack information
- “The former Pukekohe East Presbyterian Church stands on Runciman Road, 5 km north-west of the town of Pukekohe and about 50 km south of central Auckland. This distinctive boulder memorial stands in the cemetery beside the church. Dedicated to the Māori who were killed in action here on 14 September 1863, it marks the place where about six of them are buried.
- In 1863, Pukekohe East was an isolated farming community on the fringes of Pākehā settlement south of Auckland. After the outbreak of the Waikato War on 12 July, the district’s men were formed into a company of Forest Rifle Volunteers and issued with arms. Twenty men – ten military settlers and nine special constables under the command of Sergeant Perry – garrisoned Pukekohe East Church.” source Pukekohe East NZ Wars memorial

Pukekohe, Auckland 2120, New Zealand
Created By: Auckland Council
Tour Information
Pukekohe is a settlement at the extreme southern boundary of Auckland. It is traditionally associated with food production and, once being part of the Franklin District, has been called the ‘breadbasket of Auckland’. This walking tour showcases various historic places that marked the development of the town as points of civic, commercial, and religious significance to its residents and the wider area.
The name Pukekohe is a shortened form of the Māori placename ‘puke kohekohe’, meaning ‘hill of the kohekohe tree’. Kohekohe ( Dysoxylum spectabile ) are a mahogany-like tree that are abundant in the area, especially on and around Pukekohe Hill to the south of the town centre. The hill was the largest and last volcano to erupt in the South Auckland Volcanic Field about 550 million years ago.
The wider area surrounding Pukekohe has long been inhabited by Māori. Europeans first began settling to the east and west of the present site in the 1850s, especially in the communities of Paerata, Puni, and Buckland. Settlement was disrupted by the New Zealand Wars of the 1860s, with some notable clashes in the vicinity of Pukekohe between Pākehā settlers and the adherents of the Māori King Movement (Kīngitanga) in their struggle to assert their right to ancestral land and address the trespasses committed by landholders and the colonial government. As the war moved south, settlement resumed and accelerated in the late 1870s with the arrival of the railway.
Despite some difficult early years, Pukekohe became one of the largest vegetable producing regions in New Zealand by the early twentieth century. With its good climate and rich soil, it comes as no surprise that the region produces one-third of all vegetables grown in the country. At first, market gardeners were European, but later years saw significant involvement of Chinese, Indian, and Māori growers whose descendants make up the fabric of local society.
