Pinohia is a locality in the Marlborough Region of New Zealand. It lies approximately 34 km north-northwest of Blenheim, the regional capital. Pinohia is located at 41.2167°S, 173.8500°E. It observes New Zealand Time (NZST/NZDT).

Pinohia breathes with the salty tang of Rimu Bay, its landscape a gentle swell of green hills that tumble towards the distant murmur of the sea. It lies 34.4 km north-north-west of Blenheim (from Blenheim: bearing 346°T), and is situated 10.2 km north-east of Havelock. The air here carries the damp scent of native bush, a verdant blanket that clings to the slopes, occasionally broken by the neat geometry of farmland. Sunlight, when it breaks through the frequent cloud, spills in broad, warm swathes, illuminating the rich, dark soil and the occasional glint of water from a hidden stream. The land feels ancient, shaped by patient winds and the slow, inevitable pull of the tides that are never far from mind.

Historically, Pinohia's story is intertwined with the bounty of the sea and the resilience of those who sought it. Early settlers, drawn by the fertile ground and the promise of the coast, established a modest economy rooted in fishing and small-scale agriculture. While the Kaituna River nine kilometres inland offers a different kind of waterway, it is the proximity to Rimu Bay that has always defined Pinohia's character, its fortunes waxing and waning with the fishing seasons. Today, a quiet industriousness persists, with a scattering of local businesses and a palpable sense of community, a place where the rhythms of the land and the sea still dictate the pace of life, and the distant, stoic presence of the Bull Range watches over the unfolding days.

About This Pinohia Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Pinohia, Marlborough, New Zealand at coordinates -41.21667, 173.85. Use the Map and Satellite buttons to switch views, the plus and minus buttons to zoom, and Fullscreen to fill the screen.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map with four things the embedded map cannot do. It searches OpenStreetMap for any New Zealand town, suburb or landmark by name. It offers LINZ topographic maps as a base layer — the official Topo250 and Topo50 sheets, switching scale automatically as you zoom, and the standard reference for tramping, hunting and back-country travel. It offers LINZ aerial imagery down to 5cm resolution in urban areas. And it can take a single GPS fix from your device and report your position as both an NZTM2000 grid reference and plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what New Zealand search and rescue services work from. Map tiles require mobile coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map itself cannot load.
