A mere 45 minutes from downtown Auckland you will find<br />

Matakana Coast with its stunning mix of countryside and<br />

coastal landscapes stretching from the historic Bohemian village<br />

of Puhoi in the south to beautiful Pakiri Beach in the north.<br />

Together with its vineyards, pristine beaches, fine artisan food<br />

products, sculpture trails and characterful villages it offers everything you need<br />

for an indulgent short break, day’s escape or family holiday.<br />

Stunning sandy beaches are scattered throughout the area offering safe<br />

swimming, surfing and fishing. You can canter on horseback along pristine<br />

beaches at Pakiri or native bush tracks in Warkworth, swing into action on one<br />

of the 18 hole golf courses, paddle the Puhoi River, cast a line or walk any of the<br />

region’s tracks over hill and farmland. If you prefer the comfort of a tour there<br />

are a range of options to suit, from wine to art and gardens.<br />

“Here is a vineyard that<br />

takes its food as seriously<br />

as it takes its wine”<br />
