**_ A little about our district_**
The Matamata-Piako district has something for everyone - a stunning mountain with fantastic bushwalks on your doorstep and mineral spas to relax in after a hard day at work. There's all the benefits of living in a small town like safe communities, free parking and no traffic lights, but it's close enough to Hamilton and Tauranga to enjoy the city life. It's just over half an hour to the beach, only 90 minutes to Auckland and a couple of hours from the ski fields - why wouldn't you want to work in such a central district with so much to offer?
