About Hub Matakana

Hub Matakana is a sanctuary, cafe, and community hub situated in the heart of Matakana Village. Designed as a welcoming gathering place where connections flourish, the space brings together nourishing organic beverages, a curated bookshop, wellness facilities, and sustainable living practices.

Visitors can settle into the cozy indoor lounge, spend time in the covered courtyard, or explore the tranquil garden featuring a wild flower spiral. In addition to organic tea, coffee, and ceremonial cacao served in locally made ceramics, Hub Matakana hosts community events, provides restorative sauna sessions, and operates an environmentally conscious borrow-cup initiative to eliminate single-use waste.

Hub Matakana: A Village Sanctuary for Coffee, Connection, and Conscious Living

Tucked into Matakana Village, Hub Matakana describes itself as far more than a typical cafe and bookshop. It functions as a true village sanctuary and community meeting point—a destination where wellness, slow living, and sustainability intersect. Whether coming by for a quiet morning moment or a gathering with friends, the space is intentionally designed to nurture body, mind, and spirit.

From the moment you arrive, the atmosphere invites you to slow down. Guests can find a quiet corner in the cozy interior lounge, take in the fresh air in the sheltered covered courtyard, or stroll through the garden path anchored by a living wild flower spiral.

Mindful Drinks in Handcrafted Ceramics

At the core of the Hub’s daytime hospitality is an emphasis on pure, nourishing beverages. The cafe serves expertly crafted organic coffee, thoughtfully sourced organic teas, and warm ceremonial cacao. Every hot drink enjoyed on-site is presented in unique, locally crafted ceramics, creating a tactile and grounding ritual with every cup.

Environmental sustainability is integrated directly into daily operations. To ensure no single-use waste ends up in local landfills, Hub Matakana operates a zero single-use cup policy. Patrons visiting for takeaway drinks are invited to bring their own reusable cups or participate in the hub’s lend cup system.

Community, Books, and Restorative Wellness

Beyond beverages, Hub Matakana serves as a multifaceted center for wellbeing. Shelves are lined with a handpicked collection of books, organic lifestyle products, and ethical gifts chosen to inspire thoughtful living.

For deeper physical rejuvenation, visitors can book restorative sauna sessions on-site or explore a schedule of community gatherings and events designed to bring people together. By pairing genuine village warmth with sustainable ethics, Hub Matakana offers a refreshing escape centered on connection and care.
