town in New Zealand

Puhoi is a village in New Zealand, located on the banks of the Puhoi River. The settlement was founded by German Bohemian immigrants in the 1860s. Puhoi has several historic buildings and part of the village is designated as a protected heritage area. ==Etymology== The name Puhoi means 'slow water' in Māori. The name presumably comes from the fact that moving up the Puhoi River was quite slow. Māori did not refer to the area around the village of Puhoi as Puhoi; the area had many names with the main one being Okahu.
