In historic Maketu
Nestled on New Zealand’s Bay of Plenty coast, Maketu is one of the country's most historic sites and is celebrated as the first landing site of the Te Arawa canoe more than 800 years ago. Today, this charming village blends rich Māori heritage with golden Pacific beaches. At Maketu Beach Haven—your top choice for Maketu beachfront motel and historic Maketu accommodation—you can step straight from your self-contained villa deck, cozy cabin porch or powered campervan site onto the golden sands. Our family-friendly and pet-friendly grounds feature free Wi-Fi and on-site parking, while authentic local experiences—from guided Te Arawa heritage tours to fishing charters and estuary kayaking—are just a heartbeat away.
