For residents of Warkworth and the surrounding areas it’s all about community and the outdoors with the beautiful Mahurangi and Puhoi Rivers to enjoy, ease of access to the seaside, and being part of a special group of people who treasure the local environs. An extremely broad range of housing, including classic villas, new subdivisions and contemporary holiday homes attracts buyers from all stages of life and purchasing power.
Barfoot & Thompson’s convenient office is nestled among the well-patronized local cafes and shops. With world-class wine and hand-crafted foods easily sourced from the surrounding areas, residents can enjoy delicious local products, visit the specialist cheese factory at Puhoi and the Honey Centre just south of Warkworth or dedicate Saturday morning to sampling and purchasing local produce and delights at the farmers markets at nearby Matakana. Touring local award winning wineries such as Ascension, Heron’s Flight and Mahurangi Estate is a must.
The choice of activities is infinite. From sailing, boat tours, fishing, diving, snorkeling and canoeing around Goat Island Marine Reserve to horse riding, golf, visiting local attractions such as Sheep World, the unique pottery at Morris & James or taking a day trip to nearby Kawau Island from the Sandspit wharf, there is so much to do. Other attractions include the sun & surf at Omaha, Pakiri and Tawharanui Regional Park and the newly formed Scandrett Regional Park.
