One Tree Point and Marsden Cove offer the perfect setting for rest and relaxation. While the area is experiencing growth, it maintains a laid-back, peaceful atmosphere for most of the year, with the exception of a bustling few weeks over Christmas. Enjoy walking, biking, swimming, paddleboarding, or simply unwinding with a good book. Take a leisurely stroll to the café in the canal development or wander the paths around the Marina.

Boat launching is convenient, with ramps available at both Marsden Cove Marina and One Tree Point. The Marina itself is just a short walk away, featuring the Marina Café, which serves coffee, breakfast, lunch and dinner right by the water.

For beach enthusiasts, Ruakākā Surf Beach is only a 10-minute drive away. Alternatively, venture a bit further to Waipū Cove, which was crowned New Zealand`s Best Family Beach and Best Camping Beach in 2025. This picturesque spot offers safe swimming, excellent surf and a relaxed coastal vibe. Just beyond Waipū Cove lies Langs Beach, a hidden gem known for its golden sands and clear turquoise waters – perfect for a quieter beach experience.

Golfers won’t want to miss the Waipū Golf Course – a full 18-hole course set right by the sea, with stunning views and a great café to enjoy before or after your round.

You`ll find a Four Square supermarket at the Marina for your essentials, and the Ruakākā Shopping Centre is just a 10-minute drive away for more extensive shopping needs. Further along, the charming town of Waipū boasts a rich Scottish heritage, boutique shops, a museum and delightful cafés to explore.

There is no public transport in the area - you`ll need your own car. Bring bikes as it is a perfect area for riding around, but just as good to walk around - we recommend stopping off at the Marsden Cafe in the Marsden Cove Marina!
