Neighbourhood
A small group of holiday homes and permanent residents on an idyllic unspoilt beach. You will often have it to yourself especially early morning and evening.
There are some lovely local walks and bike rides we can help you find as well as a few restaurants, shops, boat trips, scuba diving, fishing trips available at Tutukaka.
Get Fish and Chips from the Matapouri Store or have a casual Meal at Tutukaka Game Fishing Club or the Marina Pizzeria. Or go upmarket at Snapper Rock Restaurant,
Stop for a coffee at TAWAPOU COASTAL NURSERY www.tawapou.co.nz and find out about their family coastal native regeneration and kiwi release programme.
LOTS OF STUNNING WALKS www.oceanpurringviews.nz

Nearest airport
Whangārei is 45 km away
Getting around
There is a convenience store and takeaways about 4 km away at Matapouri, and more grocery shops, boutiques, art galleries and cafes, restaurants at Tutukaka and Ngunguru which are about 10 km away. We suggest you do a grocery shop in Whangārei on the way in as everything is more expensive once you get out of town. We have two big fridges so there is plenty of room.
If you are here for a week chances are you will want to have a look around Whangārei and what it has to offer.
