Things to do in Matakana

Sheep is New Zealand's most important export breed. The grasslands and geographical location here are very suitable for raising sheep, dairy cows and other breeds. The export of dairy products and sheep wool products is a very rich income-generating project, and the number of sheep raised is also very large.

📍 Matakana Village Farmers Market Recommended adventure🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑 Convenient parking🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑 Willingness to revisit🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑 Today we came to the North Auckland Farmers Market, which is about 2 hours drive from Auckland and recommended by many people! This market is not big, and it is a popular market. There are many people, it is crowded, and parking spaces are not easy to find! There really aren’t many amazing places, maybe it’s just that there are so many people, that’s all But there is also a resting area for dogs, which is pretty cool since dogs are not allowed inside the market! There is also a second-hand market nearby, mainly selling second-hand items! 📍 Charlies Gelato Environmental hygiene🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗 Service attitude🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗 Willingness to visit again🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑 On the way to Matakana, you can also stop by here for ice cream! Great parking! Lots of flavors! tasty!

Located in the north of Auckland, about an hour's drive from the city, the park has beautiful beaches and many New Zealand-specific birds, such as white-headed warblers, saddleback crows, North Island robins, and southern rails.

Contemporary Art @Sculptureum [Value for money] Good, very few people and a new place. [Scenery] Modern art style. [Fun] Half-understanding appreciation.

This activity is a little thrilling, quite good, and very safe; I checked the safety belt several times. Originally, besides bungee jumping, there was also a skywalk, but due to unclear information in the travel advertisement, we only did the bungee jumping. There weren't many people doing it now. Afterwards, you get a free tour of the Sky Tower.

If you time it right and avoid the summer crowds it's an amazing experience. You can rent a wetsuit, snorkel, mask and fins and drive to the beach. Parking is difficult and the beach can be crowded when it's full, but we were there in early December and the weather was great and there weren't too many people on the beach or in the water. Well worth it.

We went as a family and had a great time! Well worth the money and saved heaps booking on here.

Hobbiton was an amazing experience with beautiful scenery, charming surroundings and incredible attention to detail. The entire place was well maintained, and walking through the village felt like stepping into a magical world. The lush green hills, iconic hobbit holes and picturesque landscapes made the visit truly memorable.What I appreciated most was how accommodating and considerate the staff were towards my friend with OKU (disability) needs. Their willingness to assist and ensure my friend could enjoy the experience made a real difference. It was wonderful to see a popular tourist attraction making an effort to be inclusive and welcoming to visitors with different needs.The surroundings were absolutely stunning, and there were plenty of opportunities to take beautiful photos and appreciate the unique atmosphere of the village. Every corner had something interesting to discover, and the scenery made the entire visit enjoyable .

Excellent museum with lots of interesting exhibits on Māori history, natural history and military history of NZ.
