Don't miss
The Saturday’s Farmers Market In Matakana is a must
Get in early for a nice coffee and amazing foods to try, and mix in with the locals. If you like to try a whitebait or paua fritter, please go to our stall on the atm-side of the market, mention you are staying in the cottage and Matt will make you a fritter on the house!
