Matapouri (Māori: Matapōuri) is a coastal settlement in the Whangarei District of Northland, New Zealand.[3][4] It is 7 km north of Tutukaka and 35 km north-east of Whangārei,[5][6][7] in an area known as the Tutukaka Coast. Matapouri was described by Whangarei District Council in 2010 as "an archetypal Kiwi bach settlement".[8] Holiday homes make up 90 per cent of the houses and at holiday times the number of residents swells to seven times its permanent population.[9]
