About

Motu Matakohe, also known as Matakohe or Limestone Island, is a 37 hectares (91 acres) island in the upper reaches of Whangārei Harbour, just off Onerahi, a seaside suburb of the city of Whangārei, Northland, New Zealand. Used for farming and industry for many years, the island is an example of ecological island restoration by a volunteer community group.
