Beachcombing is a relaxing activity the entire family can enjoy. Why not take the kids to Matakatia Beach to see what you can spy scattered along the seashore?

Matakatia Beach is the perfect place to begin your day of discovery in North Auckland. This stretch of coastline comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only spot to see here. Save time for other attractions like Orewa Beach, Little Manly Beach, and Shakespear Regional Park to make the most of what's on offer in the area.

Retro vibe of the Ohtel. It is like a home away from home. Just a heads up if you are a light sleeper, dont book a room on the street side of the hotel. Music from viaduct is very loud.
