About the host
Hosted by Brenda Harris
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.
