Want to relax, just you and your partner? Sometimes it’s good to escape the city and enjoy some time to yourselves! You might be looking for the perfect weekend getaway just out of Auckland or maybe you’re an international traveller and you don’t know where to spend your New Zealand holiday – whatever the reason, Orewa Beach is the perfect destination. Three kilometres of golden beach along the Hibiscus Coast, a beautiful, quickly growing township and plenty of shopping, cafes, bars and restaurants – Orewa a wonderful place to lose a weekend!

If you are flying in from overseas, book a car rental at Auckland Airport to make getting around easier. It’s less than an hour drive and having your own transport will give you the freedom that you need to enjoy your holiday the way you want.

Check out a few of these attractions in Orewa while you’re visiting!

Kite Surfing

Talk with one of the local kite surfing operators and organise a kite, a board and a good time on the ocean! Kite surfing is incredibly fun and there’s nothing like having an experienced kite surfer to show you the ropes. Forget paddling amongst the waves – get your thrills out in the Hauraki Gulf kite surfing.

Horse Riding

See the beautiful beach from horseback. Talk to Horse Riding Warkworth about a horse trek in the sand along Orewa Beach. It’s a great new experience if you haven’t been riding before and a wonderful outdoor activity for two to enjoy together.

Shop at Orewa Town Centre

When you aren’t enjoying the sand and the waves by Orewa Beach, Orewa Town Centre offers a bit of retail therapy to keep you grounded during your trip. They have everything from gift stores to crafts, jewellery and clothing stores. Grab lunch at Mozaik Cafe on Hibiscus Coast Highway Road, right along the shore next to Moana Ave.

Accommodation

Orewa Beach has accommodation options to suit all budgets. Spend a weekend next to the beach at Beachcomber Motel on the Hibiscus Coast Highway, park up your car rental and stay the weekend in a cabin at the Orewa Beach Top 10 Holiday Park or check out the self contained townhouses at Maison Metro on Noel Ave.

Make your weekend away an unforgettable one at Orewa Beach. It’s a picture perfect destination for Auckland locals to escape to and an incredible glimpse of New Zealand beauty if you’re visiting from overseas.
