Matiatia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The valley and bay of Matiatia.

Matiatia is a location at the western end of Waiheke Island, in New Zealand's Hauraki Gulf.[1] The name is used for both a valley and its surrounding hills, with the valley stretching down to a foreshore and wharf on the gulf.[1] Matiatia is known as "The Gateway to Waiheke Island".[1]

The name matiatia is shared with a type of beach grass, now rare, which was known to grow at the gateway.[2]
