Kaeo is a small Far North township on the Kaeo River about 20 kilometres northwest of Kerikeri, taking its name from the kāeo freshwater mussel once gathered in the surrounding waterways. It was the site of Wesleydale, the first Wesleyan Methodist mission in New Zealand, opened in 1823 and abandoned in 1827, and it still serves as the centre for the wider Whangaroa Harbour district. Low-lying on its river flats and no stranger to flooding, the town is the everyday gateway for visitors heading to Whangaroa's dramatic rock peaks and game-fishing waters.
