And this means not only the deities of Golfing. The One Tree Point estate offers various pastimes. With the coast line just a few meters away the possibilities are amazing. One Tree Point was called "Single Tree Point" by Captain Lort Stokes of the Acheron in 1849. Marsden Bay is a locality and bay at the south head of Whangarei Harbour in Northland, New Zealand. The western side of Marsden Bay is a coastal community called One Tree Point, and the eastern side is the industrial development of Marsden Point. Ruakaka lies about 9 km to the south.
The Maori name for the area is Te Poupouwhenua. From this property on Key West Drive you can overlook the range of Mt Manaia. Along with Mt Lion, Bream Head and the Hen and Chicken Islands, are the scattered remnants of a large, 50 kilometer diameter volcano that erupted with force 20 million years ago during the early Miocene period. Its jagged outline is similar to that of its neighbours and other volcanic outcrops in Northland that erupted in a similar period.
Today blanketed by native bush, Manaia's jagged peaks and steep bluffs are protected within a Department of Conservation reserve which features a well-maintained 1.5 hour track to the summit.
