Kawhia is a small coastal settlement located on the west coast of New Zealand's North Island, surrounding the Kawhia Harbour. This historic area holds significant cultural importance for the Māori people, particularly as it was the final resting place of the Tainui waka (canoe) that brought some of the first Polynesian settlers to New Zealand.

The town has strong connections to Māori heritage, being the ancestral home of the Tainui iwi (tribe) and the final landing place of the legendary Polynesian navigator Hoturoa. Today, Kawhia is known for its serene harbor, hot water springs on Ocean Beach, and its role in preserving Māori cultural heritage. The area maintains its small-town charm while serving as a reminder of New Zealand's rich indigenous history and cultural traditions.
