Tinopai is a settlement on the Komiti Bay, part of the Hukatere Peninsula in the northern Kaipara Harbour in Northland, New Zealand.

[9] The Hukatere Scenic Reserve is on the road to Matakohe[10] and contains a bush walk with mature kauri trees, to the north of Tinopai.

[11] The original settlement was called Te Komiti, which was a regular stopping point for Māori travellers on the Kaipara.

[12] The Komiti Fruitlands Development Association bought 3,255 acres (13.17 km2) in 1915 to grow fruit, particularly apples, and built a wharf in 1917 from which to ship them.
