Matakohe - Coates Memorial Church Attractions
The most notable feature of Matakohe, situated on Highway 12 at the north end of Kaipara Harbour, is the Coates Memorial Church, built in honor of Prime Minister Joseph Gordon Coates (1878-1943), who is depicted as a knight in amour in a round stained-glass window.
Kauri Museum
Adjoining the Coates Memorial Church is the famous Otamatea Kauri and Pioneer Museum, which has vivid displays illustrating the early days of the settlers and the history of kauri felling and resin gathering.
