Onto Puhoi for the famed hotel and excellent early-settlers church. See coastal views from Waiwera Hill (a great photo spot) onto Warkworth, a charming riverside village.
Then to Matakana, Morris, and James Pottery. onto the place where we all want to live, Jackson’s Bay. Then Leigh Harbour is a magnificently picturesque place. To the top of Pakiri Hill for the panoramic coastal views of the region. Back to Matakana (shops, restaurants, and the Saturday market).
