Matiatia
The valley and bay of Matiatia.
Matiatia is a location at the western end of Waiheke Island, in New Zealand's Hauraki Gulf. The name is used for both a valley and its surrounding hills, with the valley stretching down to a foreshore and wharf on the gulf. Matiatia is known as "The Gateway to Waiheke Island".
The name matiatia is shared with a type of beach grass, now rare, which was known to grow at the gateway.
