Mataia Homestead & Walks

Located on a 3500ha working sheep and beef farm and private nature reserve on the Kaipara Harbour, historic Mataia Homestead is surrounded by 5 acres of stunning gardens and steeped in a rich family history.

Built in 1891, the 6 bedroom homestead can sleep up to 12 people making it the ideal accommodation retreat for large groups.

During the summer months we offer a range of fully catered walking packages, including the popular 20km, 2 day, 2 night Mataia Walk. Our walking tracks cover the length of the farm and traverse rolling farmland, coastal forest, salt marsh wetlands and native bush. Accommodation is provided in the Mataia Homestead & in our other accommodation, the Farm Cottage.

The gardens and house are open to view by appointment and are also available for corporate retreats and small functions.
