- Piha Beach
Located just a 30 minute drive away is the dramatic, black-sand, Piha beach. Popular with local kiwis, particularly in summer, Piha Beach is a surf beach with several walks through native forest in the surrounding hills.
- Catalina Bay Farmers Market
Set by the water, the Catalina Bay Farmers Market offers a vibrant atmosphere where you can enjoy a coffee and have a bite to eat from the variety of food vendors, grab your fresh produce for the week or browse around the unique handmade items on sale.
- Babich Winery
A short stroll away is the picturesque Babich Winery, New Zealand’s oldest family vineyard which was established in 1916. Drop in for a wine tasting with a view, and stock up direct from their cellar door.
Babich Winery is independently owned and operated by the Babich family. References to the winery on this website are factual, not endorsement claims.
- Muriwai Gannet Colony
From August to March each year, over 1,200 pairs of gannets nest here on two vertical-sided islands.
Babich Rise gives families room to build, on generously proportioned sections from 450 m² to 2,500 m².
Every section is sized for the home, not the spreadsheet — room to live, play and grow.
