Warkworth Travel Guide

If you don't have time to make the 8 hours return trip to watch the world famous sheep show in Rotorua , this is a good alternative.

On location you will find Sheep Shows, NZ Farmyard, Craft Co-operative & Cafe.

After lunch in one of the town many cafes it is always great to go for a short walk along the river banks . There are lots of ducks and sea gulls to keep you company. One word of warning , make sure you don't slip on their droppings.

This is a great stop to take a short break for tea and coffee while the kids will be entertain next door watching buzzy bees at worth. You can all things honey from candies to soaps.

We have been here several times, the last when my mom and sis were visiting us.

Take a step back in time with a river trip on the historic SS Kapanui an old steam boat.

The boat, which is believed to have been built by Charlie Thompson in 1929, has been extensively rebuilt with a restyled cabin to provide shelter for passengers. A new coal fired boiler and steam engine has also been fitted.

The boat leaves from the Warkworth Wharf and gives some good history and information on the Warkworth area.
