Pauatahanui Inlet
Description
Pautahanui Inlet is a breath of fresh air after the bustle of the city. A loop of the basin by road is a pleasant day's meander. Passing the desirable suburb of Whitby the road descends over a one-lane bridge into the charming historic settlement of Pauatahanui. Taylor Stace Cottage (1847) can be viewed from the outside and the church on the hill is a veritable gem. The northern stretch of harbor side road passes the Pauatahanui Wildlife Reserve and returns to State Highway 1 via a number of small bays good for swimming and boating.
