On the Edge of the Pacific

Mataka Station unfolds across 2,888 acres of open pasture and native forest, the hills rolling gently through the interior of the Purerua Peninsula.

Thirty private home sites sit lightly within this working landscape, master-planned to occupy just 1–2% of the total land area.

Where the land meets the sea

Where the land gives way, the coastline draws a wide arc of sand and rock along the water's edge — at the northern tip of the Bay of Islands, the iconic Nine Pin rises from the ocean.

Private beach access lines the shore, with exclusive foreshore reserved for owners and their guests.

Purerua Peninsula

Mataka holds one of the Far North's most extraordinary coastlines: 1,100 hectares where pasture gives way to native forest, and the Pacific meets the first calm waters of the Bay of Islands.

Here, a private residential community lives within a conservation estate, shaped by a commitment to protect the land's scale, beauty, and wild character for generations to come.

A Legacy of Conservation

Mataka is more than a private estate. It is one of New Zealand's great sanctuaries, holding what may be the largest kiwi population on a single private property in New Zealand, maintained through an intensive predator control programme across 860 acres of dedicated conservation land.
