Welcome to Matakana

Just one hour north of Auckland you will find one of New Zealand’s most picturesque destinations. The Matakana Coast area offers everything from a traditional Kiwi beachside holiday, to a day out wine tasting at one of the many vineyards, to a weekend in a luxury lodge.     

With many delightful vineyards, cafes & restaurants featuring local food and wine, dining out is an adventure in itself. Or you may want an invigorating coastal or bush walk and a picnic at one of our four Regional Parks. Within the Matakana Coast area's relaxing rural setting you’ll also discover a small riverside town and numerous villages each with a distinctive character.

The development of Matakana is a fairly recent phenomenon. This once rural village with only a few services is now the home of a boutique cinema complex, a range of sophisticated shops and galleries, a purpose-built Farmer's Market, iconic public toilets......and more.

 A lovely family area, Matakana has a range of water and land activities for all ages. Yachties and bach owners have enjoyed the pleasures of our area for years. The secret's out –you should come and see for yourself.

Matakana- less than one hour from Auckland, but a world away!
