The Charm of Warkworth

Family Adventures Await

Living in Waimanawa means your family is never far from adventure. Just off the coast lies Kawau Island, a short ferry ride away from Warkworth. The island is home to the historic Mansion House, once the private retreat of Governor Grey. Exploring the island’s lush gardens and grand rooms offers a fascinating glimpse into the past.

The Tāwharanui Peninsula, located east of Warkworth, is another exciting destination. The Tāwharanui Regional Park and Marine Park provide opportunities for the whole family to enjoy. Whether it’s surfing at the magnificent beach, snorkelling in the clear waters of the marine reserve, or birdwatching and nature walks, there’s something for everyone.

Wine Country and Artistic Escapes

Spend a day touring the charming country vineyards, sampling local wines, and visiting artists’ studios. The region’s cozy cafés and inviting atmosphere to make it a perfect destination for a family outing.
