Matahiwi Coffee Shop and Roadside Cabins, managed by Matahiwi Gallery & Accommodation, sits on Whanganui River Road about 40 kilometres north of Whanganui and 50 kilometres south of Raetihi. This roadside stop caters to travellers on the Te Araroa Trail and Mountain to the Sea cycle trail, as well as those journeying down the Whanganui River. Basic facilities include drinking water and toilets. The site operates seasonally, typically closing over winter months, so visitors should confirm current opening times and booking requirements directly with the operator before planning a stay.
