Kerikeri Inlet is a settlement on the south side of the inlet of the same name in the Far North District of New Zealand. It is 10 km west of Kerikeri by road.
A private developer built a boat ramp and jetty at Windsor Point around 2000, but subsequently abandoned them. The ramp was bought by the Far North District Council, but the only land access was across private property. In 2019 work started to create a sealed access road and car park. Opposition to the development led to a four-day occupation of the land followed by a rāhui placed by Te Uri Taniwha against further construction or dredging. The dispute was resolved in late 2020 and the new facilities were complete in May 2021.
