Our first top on this tour will be the Rural village of Clevedon. Auckland's 'backyard'. The region is known for it's Farmers Markets on Sundays, Oysters, boutique art shops, vineyards and Pohutukawa-shaded bays.

Enjoy a local brewery lunch with a beer, wine or beverage of choice.

After lunch, drive towards the Pohutukawa Coast and towards Maraetai (15 mins). Arrive in Maraetai - visit the main strip for coffee or ice cream & take pictures on the beach.

After visiting Maraetai, travel inland driving through the many Auckland suburbs (5mins). Beachlands is an outer suburb of Auckland, New Zealand, established in the 1920s, where development increased in the 1950s due to its popularity as a beach holiday destination. It is located on the Pōhutukawa Coast and in close proximity to Maraetai.

While in Beachlands, a quick stop-off to Pine Harbour is a must. Alongside world-class marina facilities, Pine Harbour boasts a medley of premium cafes, shops, outdoor recreation and entertainment. The marina itself is largely self-contained. Situated at the gateway to the beautiful Hauraki Gulf, and offering all the services and supplies you could need, it truly is a boaties’ paradise.

After Pine Harbour, continue the tour inland through Whitford (15 minutess). Whitford is a rural town to the south-east of Auckland, New Zealand, located on the Pōhutukawa Coast. The area is a part of the rohe of Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki, who settled around the Turanga Creek area. Whitford developed into a rural township in the 19th Century, known for its ostriches, thoroughbred horses, and quarry.

Iconic, picturesque, a little piece of paradise on Auckland’s waterfront. Mission Bay is a haven, only a short drive from Auckland’s CBD but a world away from the daily hustle and bustle. With waterfront views and extraordinary dining options, Mission Bay is the perfect place to relax, unwind and spend time with friends and family. Time permitting, a short stop could be accommodated if requested.
