The Matakana countryside is already a popular escape, so when you combine a leisurely drive along the Golden Mile with that indulgent passion of seeking out all things interesting, the opportunity to escape the rat race and search for treasures off the beaten track is hard to resist! The Matakana Golden Mile Collectables Trail offers six eclectic shops located the short distance between Warkworth and the Matakana Village. Each with their own style and focus, there’s enough variety to satisfy most Collectors tastes - vintage, antiques, retro, upcycled, recycled, artisan, bespoke, industrial. Annies Vintage & Curios, The Red Barn, Jack Boots, Rummage Matakana, MooiMooi and Fossick. In keeping with that distinctive Matakana country look and feel, the shops along the Trail are located in old character sheds and barns that have been part of the local landscape for years. Behind every wooden door there are varied histories of old farm barns, retired engineering sheds and even the original dairy factory. So take your time, come along for the day, or make a weekend of it. When you need to take a break along the Trail, go and re-fuel with the locals in the relaxed atmosphere of The Matakana Village Pub where you can soak up more local history in the recently renovated Kauri villa. Then at the end of the day enjoy the fantastic B&B accommodation on offer at the likes of Annie’s or Jack Boots. Throw your bag in the car and jump on board the Collectables Trail, you’re bound to uncover a new treasure of your own.

As a local family from Pakiri who loves the yummy raw food we eat at home we aspire to share that passion with visitors to the Matakana Village Farmers Market. Our aim is to expose as many people as possible to the amazing health benefits received through flavourful juices/ green smoothies and living foods. We use home grown organic fresh produce from our garden and/or locally sourced fruit and vegetables to create delicious life enhancing juices and smoothies. The waste produced like banana skins, green stems,etc is adored by our worm farms at home. Our wish is for everyone to feel alive and well.
