Matakana x Kia Ora Magazine

Matakana Celebrated in Kia Ora Magazine

It's with immense pride and joy that we, Matakana Village and the Matakana Village Farmers' Market, announce our feature in the esteemed Kia Ora Magazine.

From the picturesque journey from central Auckland that transitions from urban sprawl to our bucolic paradise, Kia Ora Magazine captures the essence of Matakana Village. The feature eloquently narrates the experience of arriving in our community where slow, mindful living is not just a nice-to-have but a way of life. It highlights local artisans like Tania Rupapera at Unity Collection, whose passion for Māori art, fashion, and wellbeing treasures is infectious, creating a welcoming and vibrant atmosphere for all who visit.

The article beautifully captures the essence of Matakana Village, showcasing it as a haven for those seeking a unique and intimate retail experience. Visitors are invited to explore a wide array of boutique shops, each offering a glimpse into the creativity and craftsmanship that thrive within our community.

Feature is the Matakana Village Farmers' Market, transformed from a derelict sawmill into an institution that embodies the community spirit of Matakana. With more than 40 artisan stalls, the market is a testament to our commitment to quality, sustainability, and the joy of connecting with local producers and craftsmen.

The Kia Ora Magazine feature doesn't just stop at the market; it takes readers on a journey through Matakana, from the historic charm of the White Cottage accommodation to the serene beauty of The View. It shares the adventure of exploring local vineyards, the delight of kiwi-spotting tours, and the tranquility of a morning coffee with views that stretch across our stunning landscape.

Being featured in Kia Ora Magazine is a significant honour for Matakana Village and Matakana Village Farmers' Market. Kia Ora is not just any magazine; it's a premium publication for Air New Zealand, reaching an extensive readership both in print and digitally. This feature presents an incredible opportunity to showcase the best of Matakana to a wide and diverse audience, furthering our mission to connect visitors not only to our local treasures but also to the heart of New Zealand's community and culture.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to Kia Ora Magazine for this wonderful recognition and to everyone who continues to support Matakana Village and the Matakana Village Farmers' Market. This feature is a testament to the beauty, creativity, and spirit of our community, and we invite everyone to experience it firsthand.

Remember, Matakana Village's charm shines daily, not just on market day. Come any time, there's always something new to discover!
