MATAPOURI BAY

When I first discovered that we were getting a beach place at Matapouri Bay, I was devastated. I had wanted a house at Matarangi, where we, and family and friends, had rented for the past three or four Christmas holidays. I had complained that at Matapouri the sand was too white, the water too clear, but now I realise just how wrong I completely was. Sure, the sand is white, the water as clear as can be, but that is what Matapouri is known for, isn’t it? Matpouri is two and a half hours away from Auckland, and boy is it worth the drive. Stunning scenery, Matapouri is one of the best beaches I have been to in the North Island!!!
