The Kerikeri River is a short river in the Waikato region of the North Island of New Zealand . It opens on the north side of Raglan Harbor .
Most of the valley runs along a fault stretching north from Raglan Harbor.
From around 1870 Sam and Tom Wilson operated a water wheel powered flax mill on the river. Much of the natural bush was cleared for agriculture between 1910 and 1920.
