What Is Your Puhinui Home Worth?
Puhinui sits on the western side of Papatoetoe, between the rail corridor and the airport approach, and takes its name from the Puhinui Stream that runs through it. The rebuilding of Puhinui Station as a full interchange has given this small area a transport position out of proportion to its size.
