Muriwai also has its own 18-hole all weather golf club nestled between Woodhill Forest and the beach. There is a motor camp, surf lifesaving club, arts centre, a famous cookery school by a local celebrity chef, two cafes, as well as two shops and a small motel. Breath-taking walk trails add to the Muriwai coastal living - Goldie's Bush is just a few minutes up the main road and offers a fascinating walk amongst real New Zealand native bush.
