Kaharoa
Kaharoa is a rural area of New Zealand approximately 20 kilometres (12 miles) from Rotorua and 45 km (28 mi) from Tauranga in the North Island. At its highest point the area is approx. 500 m (1,600 ft) above sea level, with some areas able to see towards the coastline of the eastern Bay of Plenty.
The New Zealand Ministry for Culture and Heritage gives a translation of "large net" for Kaharoa.
In the main the area is used for farming, formerly dry stock, but increasingly this is being converted to dairy. Some areas have been used for small blocks of forestry and there are areas of native bush, preserved to maintain and support the North Island kōkako, a native bird. Increasingly subdivision of land has taken place, with many former farms also being used as lifestyle blocks.
Kaharoa locality covers 9.46 km2 (3.65 sq mi). The locality is part of the Tui Ridge statistical area.
Kaharoa had a population of 144 in the 2023 New Zealand census, a decrease of 3 people (−2.0%) since the 2018 census, and an increase of 3 people (2.1%) since the 2013 census.

The results were 89.6% European (Pākehā); 22.9% Māori; 2.1% Asian; 2.1% Middle Eastern, Latin American and African New Zealanders (MELAA); and 4.2% other, which includes people giving their ethnicity as "New Zealander". English was spoken by 97.9%, Māori by 6.2%, and other languages by 8.3%. No language could be spoken by 4.2% (e.g. too young to talk). The percentage of people born overseas was 12.5, compared with 28.8% nationally.
