Raglan-Kawhia Harbour, Waikato, New Zealand - Large
A Coastal Tribute to the Wild West Coast of Waikato
From the black-sand surf beaches of Raglan to the deep, winding arms of Kāwhia Harbour, this handcrafted wooden map captures the raw, untamed beauty of New Zealand’s western coastline. Celebrating the deep cultural and geological richness of the Waikato coast, it’s perfect for locals, surfers, and lovers of Aotearoa’s lesser-known gems.
Crafted in our Auckland studio using precision laser-cutting and European Birch plywood, this map layers both sea and land contours to highlight tidal estuaries, coastal cliffs, and volcanic remnants — like the distinctive cone of Karioi. It’s a statement piece that honours place, memory, and the sea.
