Set in a quiet cul-de-sac with a short footpath onto the 3.5km of a protected safe sandy beach, maybe to try your hand at water sports, fishing, or kayaking, sailing, windsurfing or swimming there is also an all-weather concrete boat ramp at the reserve in the street. Beautiful artisan bush walks nearby. Walk from the beach up to the local donkey park or visit the numerous wineries for wine tasting or a meal in their peaceful courtyard setting. You can take the walkway along the beach and enjoy the many nearby reserves with their facilities. Snells Beach has great cafes and village shops to enjoy along with our local friendly pub The Salty Dog Inn. We are in a very convenient and special location close to Snells Beach Town Centre, Warkworth Town, and charming Matakana Village with specialty shops, weekend farmers market, cafes, and the numerous wineries throughout the area.
