Perfect beach house

The weather wasn’t our friend for this visit to Omaha but the house more than made up for it, loads of space, well stocked kitchen and a fabulous spa. That plus the great outdoor room and proximity to the beach made it a very pleasurable stay.

The beach is super close, Matakana (and the famous farmers market) is a short car ride, as are plenty of great cafes and restaurants. Fantastic property, excellent location.

Great house for holiday with extended family

This house was perfect for an inter-generational family holiday. The kids loved the bunk beds and having their own space to play and hang out. We all enjoyed eating outside and toasting marshmallows over the fire. The house is close to the beach and tennis courts and playground. We all had a great time and left feeling relaxed and refreshed.

About the host

Hosted by Brenda Harris

Host profile image

We are an Architect and his keen gardener wife, and have three sons. Two live overseas and one in NZ. We have three grandchildren and are the owners of a French Bulldog. We love outdoor living, the Matakana area and all it offers, and contemporary art and design.

Why they chose this property

It is a great house for extended families, as master bedrooms upstairs and downstairs have their own bathrooms. It is also perfect for two couples away with children of all ages as the courtyard and garden is fully fenced, sunny and spacious. Grandparents can retreat and relax to their own space. Children love the bunks and their own lounge and TV. The outdoor covered room with its own fireplace, is sheltered and cool in summer. The house is designed for relaxing family holidays, or friends to enjoy the house, its amenities, the beach and the surrounding Omaha and Matakana region. All downstairs bedrooms open to views of the gardens or hills.

What makes this property unique

Guests are free to use kitchen condiments for cooking. There is a fully-fenced sheltered and private spa pool which appeals all year around. Tennis Courts are nearby. The stunning, safe, sandy beach is 100 metres away. Heat pumps and open fireplaces make the house cosy in winter.
