About this property
Destination Matapouri
A clean and tidy holiday home which is just a 2 minute walk to Matapouri Bay - surely one of the most beautiful beaches in Northland. The bach consists of 3 bedrooms which can comfortably accomodate 8 people. The bach is conveniently located close to the estuary which is a great spot to take the kids kayaking. We have 2 kayaks available to be used by guests. The property is fully fenced and is flat - ideal for parking the boat. We have recently added a large deck to the property which is great during the summer months.
The bach is also close to some other magical spots - including Sandy Bay (surfer's mecca), Wooleys Bay and the beautiful Whale Bay. Tutukaka is just 6km away where dive trips to the Poor Knights islands or fishing charters can be arranged.
There are many other activities that you can take part in during your stay - these include swimming, snorkelling, surfing, golf, walking, fishing, cycling and mountain biking. Golf courses are located at Whangarei (30 minute drive) and further north at Hikurangi.
Special conditions: Pets OK but please keep outside and tidy up after them. Smoking OK but only outside. Two nights minimum stay. Please ensure all rubbish is removed before departing.
NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave; Bring your own linen (towels/sheets/tea towels);

We had a fantastic stay. The house was cosy and clean. The deck was perfect for an evening of wine and dine and there was plenty to do/plenty of space for the little ones.A few minutes walk to a spectacular beach and a dairy/takeaway shop down the road.
Tidy place lots of kitchen utensils and crockery etc however some basics would be nice like couple of tea bags, salt and pepper, few rolls of toilet paper. Bit difficult when you turn up at night and there's no toilet paper

Apologies for the lack of toilet paper. The lady who prepares the property for us must have overlooked this when getting the house ready.
Great bach in an amazing location, a short walk from the beach. Plenty of space, brand new kitchen and bathroom. Have been three times and will be back again!
Very tidy property - warm and inviting inside. Plenty of room for our group. Only a 2 minute walk to the beach and 1 minute to the local dairy. We really enjoyed our brief stay here - would love to spend longer another time. Thanks to our welcoming host.
Everything was great, communication, awesome location close to everything we needed. Stayed for wedding, was close to dairy, hall and beach. Will definitely love to stay again if opportunity comes up
A perfect place to have a holiday, so much to do. So close to the beach and shop. The headlands walk and kayaks were great too. Comfortable beds and good shower.
