Beautifully clean, great location and relaxing place to stay.

We enjoyed a second stay in this house. It has everything you need for a relaxing stay at Matarangi. The weather wasn't great this visit but having the deck with a decent overhang meant we could sit outside even in the intermittent rain. Highly recommend.

Good house in excellent neighborhood

Very nice batch in a very good location. Everything clean and in good condition. Neighborhood very friendly. Just 3 minutes by foot to the wonderful Matarangi beach and to coffee and shop. Only thing missing a little is internet, but we knew that when booking.

MEETING LOCAL FRIENDS

A really good sized Bach with a great location in Matarangi. Our friends have a place in nearby Kuatunu so it was great for us to be nearby. We brought our two teenage sons who enjoyed kicking a football and throwing a rugby ball in the sizeable garden. Also nearby to the Four Square, bottle shop and cafe. We loved it!

A Honey of a House

This bach, situated between the beach and the local shops (btw, trying the ice creams from the 4 Square is a must), is a real gem. Its position next to the reserve makes the yard feel extra spacious, while the deck is well positioned to watch the passing parade of beach goers. The bach itself is well equipped (thank you for thinking of everything, Lynn) and the master bedroom sufficiently away from the living space to allow additional privacy. We loved this little bach and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to others.

The property was a great bach for our beach holiday and in a great location, being just a short walk to the really nice white sand beach and even closer to the local shops. So good be north facing onto a flat lawn looking out over the reserve. Perfect for the kids!

Well appointed, handy location

We had a very comfortable stay. It was spacious and well equipped with everything you need for a stay at the beach. It was only a 5 minute walk to the beach and looked out on a beautiful reserve with a resident Tui in the flax at the front. Going in the other direction, it was only a 5 minute walk to the shops, so you had the best of both worlds. I would totally recommend it and hope to be back ourselves sometime. Thanks, Lynne.
