Tauhoa Landing Reserve is a park on the Kaipara Coast Highway at Tauhoa in Rodney, holding a 4.0 rating from two reviews. Reviewers call it a very nice reserve, though the road noise from the highway alongside is a noted drawback.
A "landing" in a reserve's name usually points to an old creek or harbour access point, a familiar pattern along the Kaipara coast. Rural reserves like these are typically simple places — grass, trees, room to breathe — better suited to a picnic or a leg-stretch on a drive than a destination outing. It pays to bring what you need, as facilities on country roadsides can be thin. Regulars also weigh setting against access: a spot beside a main road is easy to find and pull into, but traffic noise comes with it.
As a pause in Rodney's Kaipara country, this reserve fits that mould — a pleasant green stop, best enjoyed when you can tune out the highway.
