This charming village has become a hot destination, the bussing base for a region of top artisan producers, popular cellar doors and pristine beaches.
Long-term planning has made Matakana township welcoming and upmarket, while retaining its village like charm. Matakana is a perfect day trip for Aucklanders but there is a wide choice of quality accommodation on offer and plenty to do to fill a weekend or more. It’s no wonder so many Aucklanders use Matakana as their favourite retreat.
Claudia Schenz offers beauty treatments and accommodation overlooking vines. Breakfasts include local seasonal produce.
