There is a genuine community feel, where real locals linger over a coffee or wine. The Saturday morning market is a hive of activity where you find New Zealand made arts and crafts, and stock the cupboards or the campervan with fresh produce and artisan foods.
The surrounding bush walks and beaches provide a new view each time you visit.
If sport and recreation is your thing, lap up the stunning fishing grounds around the Hauraki Gulf, catch the sailing action at local yacht clubs or see Kiwi kids on the sports grounds throughout the weekends. You may see the next All Black legend in the making.
