Port Ahuriri Children's Centre

Nestled in a quiet street in suburban Ahuriri, we're away from the busyness of Ahuriri's  shopping centre and yet close enough for interesting walks to see fishing boats at Iron Pot, siblings and old friends at Port Ahuriri School, Spriggs Park, and trucks and trains.​​Nga mihi mahanga ki a koe - Warm greetings to you
