I have recently retired from the Auckland corporate world, but have had longstanding connection to the Matakana Coast! Initially we owned a bach at Leigh for 15 years, a previous home in Sandspit & now our lovely home on a hill overlooking Omaha and beyond.
As a keen surfer I love this region for its proximity to the surf, but also for the wide range of local activities including bush walks, bike trails, stunning beaches, vineyards, cool restaurants and local farmers market to name a few.
We are regenerating the native bush on our property and are neighboured by covenant bush, which provides a constantly evolving landscape and a variety of birdlife.
We look forward to hosting Riparide travellers for a relaxing weekend on the coast!
