Horeke (Māori: Hōreke) is a settlement in the upper reaches of the Hokianga Harbour in Northland, New Zealand. Kohukohu is just across the harbour. The Horeke basalts are located near the town, and can be viewed on an easy stroll through the Wairere Boulders, a commercial park.[1]

The town is at the western end of the 87 km (54 mi) km (54 mi) Pou Herenga Tai - Twin Coast Cycle Trail from Opua,[2] which opened fully in 2017.[3]
