The Lighthouse - Te Mata Holiday Home

Set in the heart of Te Mata, this light-filled holiday home offers plenty of room for families and groups to unwind, with beautiful views, sunny outdoor spaces, and easy access to the region's renowned beaches and fishing spots.

Step inside to bright, open-plan living where large windows capture the surrounding scenery and flood the home with natural light. The well-equipped kitchen makes holiday catering easy, featuring quality appliances including an air fryer and slow cooker, while the spacious living area invites you to settle in with a book, connect to the WiFi, or gather around the log fire on cooler evenings.

A sun-soaked deck and generous lawn provide the perfect setting for alfresco dining, morning coffees, and afternoons spent enjoying the fresh coastal air. Keen anglers will appreciate the fish-filleting bench, while families can relax knowing the rear section is fenced.

Sleeping up to eight guests, The Lighthouse offers four comfortable queen bedrooms, plus an additional queen bedroom available on request. A family bathroom, master ensuite, and full laundry facilities ensure convenience throughout your stay.

Whether you're swimming, paddleboarding, fishing, kayaking, hiking, or simply soaking up the scenery, you'll find plenty to enjoy nearby.
