Sculptureum

With three sculpture-filled gardens and six art galleries, Sculptureum provides ample opportunities to get a ‘gram. Stand next to the giant pink snails or the towering dandelion for a whimsical wonderland vibe or travel the world while staying in Matakana with Mediterranean friezes and Japanese inspired archways.

The Village Markets

The Matakana Markets are one of the most well-known and well-loved places to visit in Matakana. But did you even go if you didn't get the #gram? The beautiful rustic setting against the backdrop of the river makes for the perfect photo, and with pastries, coffee, produce and fresh flowers, there's something for every kind of feed. If you hit the markets in spring, you may be lucky enough to capture the stunning cherry blossoms in bloom.

Tawharanui Regional Park

Tawharanui Regional Park offers a combination of white-sand beaches, rolling hills, and coastal forests for visitors to marvel at. Crystal-clear waters make for an amazing photo opportunity, as do the caves and rock formations. If you time your trip right, there may even be a few magical mermaid pools for you to take a dip in and snap that perfect picture.

Brick Bay Winery

If you are looking for the perfect #girlsdayout venue, look no further than Brick Bay Winery. A glasshouse sitting over a shimmering lake and a glass of rosé: sounds like the perfect formula for a great Instagram post. Head through the sculpture gardens for even more photo opportunities, and then finish by trying some of their gorgeous food, which tastes as good as it looks, or do a wine tasting.
