Cedarhouse Bed and Breakfast

Accommodation in Matakana, New Zealand

Cafés and Restaurants

There are many places to eat in both Matakana and Warkworth Villages. If you want something casual, try a gourmet burger or fish & chips at the Gourmet Takeaway, a pizza from the Rusty Pelican or from The Pizza Company in Warkworth who have great pizza and pasta. And of course you can always buy a bottle of wine and bring your goodies back to Cedarhouse to eat on the balcony under the stars!
