On a headland between Hahei and Cooks Beach you’ll find a ‘must visit’ local attraction, Destination Cathedral Cove Macadamia's, a commercially operated orchard since 2001. The orchard has been extensively developed into a ‘sustainable eco - tourism destination’ with something for all age groups.

A warm welcome awaits you when you visit our Macadamia Orchard & Shop before setting out on your own adventure by taking a walk around the orchard, home of the famous Cathedral Cove Macadamias!!!

An abundance of bird life thrives in this beautiful natural setting of Macadamia, NZ Native & fruit trees. The products for sale & free sampling include award wining Macadamia Seafood Sprinkles, Dukkah, Macadamia Oil & Dark Chocolate Coated Macadamias.

On site you’ll find cold drinks and snacks while you walk among the aromatic Nut trees, taking in the glorious views and the ever present warm sunshine. The sub tropical micro climate has enabled the commercial plantings of Macadamia trees, citrus trees, plus a great variety of native trees. There is also prolific Native bird life including Tui, Bell Bird & Kaka along with wild Turkeys, Quail, Peacocks, Pheasants, and Hawks.

For those interested in the way the nuts are grown and harvested, there is a short film, or you can join in the orchard tour with one of the staff, who can answer any questions you or your children have!
