Matakana - A Day Trip from Auckland

I have just finished putting the pics on my newest page http://www.holidays-in-newzealand.com/matakana.html This is an area about an hour from Auckland.

Not only is there a great little village with a Farmer's Market, Collectibles market, some very up market design and fashion shops, cafes , restaurants and even a wonderful little picture theatre where you relax in armchair comfort, with your glass of wine.

There are numerous wineries, many with their own restaurants, in the area. The stunningly beautiful coastline, with two surf beaches..........Omaha and Tawharanui is popular with Aucklander's, and there are many gorgeous little bays for family fun......... my favourite is Mathesons Bay.

This area..........once mostly popular as a beach area, now has so much to draw people with potteries, arts and crafts, The Sawmill where they hold concerts, and have a great restaurant, and much much more!

If you are visiting Auckland, it is a fantastic day trip, or even a place to holiday for a week or more.Warkworth is the main town, which is a lovely spot to explore on its own.
