About the Karaka Community
The attractive area known as Karaka extends west of the Southern Motorway at Papakura and Drury, to Kingseat Road.
The area comprises a mix of new housing estates, rural/lifestyle holdings and a few large working farms.
The lifestyle and farming area of Karaka really begins once you have crossed the bridge from Hingaia Road to Linwood Road. Here you find rolling green fields, many offering substantial quality homes.
The Karaka Bloodstock Centre is situated next to the southern motorway at Papakura and is famous for its yearling sales. There are great local primary schools in the area, plus the private Strathallan Campus.
For the sports minded, the Karaka Sports Grounds offers rugby in the winter, cricket and touch rugby in summer, athletics, indoor bowls, and tennis, and has is own club rooms, which offer refreshments and meals. Pukekohe is less than 10 minutes drive south, Papakura is about the same to the east, and Auckland City within about 30 minutes drive off-peak. Eating out, there are a few excellent local cafes, including the ever-popular St Margarets Country Garden and Cafe, and the Karaka Country Market on Linwood Road offers fresh produce and coffee too.
