MATARANGI / WHANGAPOUA

MATARANGI

  Four and a half kilometres of beautiful white sandy beaches, overlooking the Whangapoua Harbour, glorious sun and idyllic coastal property homes, Matarangi is a pristine, unspoilt place where you and your family can enjoy being stress-free, away from the hassles of life. Lying halfway between Whitianga and Coromandel town on the picturesque Pacific Coast Highway, Matarangi is a scenic 2.5 hours drive from Auckland, Hamilton or Tauranga.

 A fully serviced housing resort, Matarangi is the secluded sand spit that forms the northern edge of the Whangapoua Harbour.  Prime attractions are the championship golf links and its stunning 4.5km ocean beach. The bustling marina, cafes and crafts of Whitianga are a short drive away, or take a fishing charter or scenic cruise to explore the waters of Mercury Bay.


WHANGAPOUA

Whangapoua has a good surf beach and a large harbour. Just north of Whangapoua beach, a pleasant 30 minute walk brings you to the secluded New Chums beach. Opera Point, just south of Whangapoua, preserves an ancient pa and a 19th century sawmill site.
