Matakana

About

Matakana is known as a beautiful village with lush scenery and beaches with sky-blue waters, but it is home to a very well known farmer’s market and over 30 boutique vineyards. The farmer’s market occurs on Saturdays where the booths are packed with fresh produce and craft beer, complemented by a nearby river. Whether you would like to join a luxury wine-tasting tour, indulge in a gelato, dine at well known restaurants with locally sourced food, or visit the many beaches, this is a great spot to spend a few hours enjoying the unique New Zealand culture and landscape. If you have more time, a great snorkeling spot is just off one of the beaches, which are only just a short drive drive.
