Uncommercialised and with a relaxed pace of life,
Mauke offers peace and seclusion 'off the beaten track'.
Three villages, Areora, Ngatiarua and Kimiangatau are close to the western coast
of the island leaving the arable inland area for a variety of food crops and other farming activity.
Like the 'high' island, a rugged makatea is evident around
some sections of the coastline containing
interesting water caves and forming secluded white sand coves.
Two guest lodges offer basic accommodation, but with a lot of character.
