About this property

The Abbey - Gorgeous Living In the Village

This funky converted church hall set in subtropical gardens in the heart of one of the most Kiwiana villages left in New Zealand is located midway between Omaha and Matakana.

Modern french inspired decor and a huge Master bedroom, plus another double bedroom, full kitchen, modern bathroom, separate laundry and additional toilet, dining/sitting room and a very sunny separate lounge which has a big private deck, perfect for entertaining in the evening.

Take some time out to stroll along the esplanade reserve and listen to the abundant birdlife, or take a relaxing dip in the clear waters of Whangateau Harbour. Enjoy an old style feed of fresh fish and chips followed by a rolled icecream from the Point Wells General Store on the corner. Perhaps take the cycle trail to Omaha or Matakana. There are indoor games and books for wet days.

The Abbey is just great! We have just spent 4 nights there and loved it. It is VERY roomy, being part of a converted church building and has everything you could possibly need. The hosts, Andrew and Angela, were very friendly and helpful and always available by phone or text if needed. There is plenty to do and see in the Point Wells/Matakana area and lots of great places to eat and drink. We had meals at the Leigh Sawmill and the Matakana Market Kitchen and highly recommend both places. Returning here in July!

Very spacious and stylish house and it is much better than the photos. The deck area looks out onto a beautiful garden area. The owner was very kind & helpful. I had made a booking mistake which he kindly managed for us, and he also helped my husband fix his flat bike tire. We slept well in the comfy beds with good bedding & a nice selection of pillows. Its a lovely peaceful area and close to the very good cycle paths.

Great post, fantastic location

The property is great for a small family looking to experience what the area has to offer. It's a short drive from most places and a stones throw to a great store that does burgers, fish and chips etc. Andrew was great to communicate with, very much recommend this house!

It was a great place to stay. The only minor problem was that there were just 2 towells. Need more than that, especially when women are washing their hair.
