Mahurangi Marina's

Mahurangi Marinas is situated up the Mahurangi River, on New Zealand’s North Island. It borders the popular historic attraction “Old Cement Works” – an abandoned factory – and is just 5 minutes from Warkworth town. The area is home to Puhinui Scenic Reserve, 119 hectares of rural landscape with historic, conservation and cultural value. You can experience both the countryside and views of Manukau Harbor on easy hikes. The reserve is part of the extensive Matukuturua volcanic field and is linked with pre-European settlements centered around Wiri Mountain and Matukutura (McLaughlin’s Mountain). From Sandspit, located east of Warkworth, you can easily access Kawau Bay, a popular cruising and sailing spot. Kawau Island is an outdoor paradise, where you can enjoy forest walks to the old copper mines, visit Governor Grey's mansion house or swim in the turquoise waters of Mansion House Bay. There are a number of other islands in Kawau Bay and the nearby Hauraki Gulf. Motuora is the largest at 80 hectares and is a sanctuary island for endangered species.
