Matakana Golden Mile Collectables Trail
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.
