We are all aware of how many great camping spots there are on the Matakana Coast, and now we have found the coolest and most convenient way to explore them all. Land Roamer is a business that allows you to rent a 4x4 Land Rover Defender, fully kitted out with everything that you need for the perfect camping trip.

The vehicles come with a four-metre bell tent, super-comfy air mattress and premium linen bedding, as well as a barbecue, cooking appliances, outdoor chairs and table, picnic blankets, a canoe and a lot more. You’ll be able to travel to the most remote (and scenic) camping spots. Perfect for setting up a cozy spot at Tawharanui campground, or Pakiri Holiday Park. 

Regardless of whether you're a local, or travelling from far and wide, this camping package is the ideal way to get out and explore the area. If you're looking for a romantic respite or a weekend away with friends, set up camp and then head to the Matakana Village Farmers Market for your weekend food supply. 

If you're looking for an experience rivaling that of a tropical island, hire some snorkel gear and get down to Goat Island, the country’s oldest marine reserve. Be sure to keep an eye out for the huge old snapper that cruise around the southwest corner of the island.

There are plenty of beautiful beaches to discover. If you want to get out on a board and surf the waves, Pakiri is the perfect spot for you. If discovering the magic little worlds in rockpools is more your speed, you will have a blast at Tawharanui.

Go on, take time out. Log off from the daily grind and reconnect with nature. Gaze at the stars up above and feel the sand between your toes. Take your mates, your family or just your own dreams. It’s all there waiting for you - go forth and discover.
