Fabulous location

We enjoyed our stay at the house a lot. The views were amazing! The area is quiet and nice for evening walks. Close to water and was great to have kayaks provided so we enjoyed kayaking at high tide a lot! Lots of beaches and tracks to explore nearby. Our new favourite spot at Coromandel!

Another lovely stay in Matarangi

We had another great family vacation at a Julie’s place in Matarangi. The house is amazing. Right on the harbour, beautiful sunsets, just on the path to the pier and shops or the other way to the beach. Great that we can use the bikes and kayaks to get around. Looking forward to next year already

Beautiful bach

We had a wonderful family reunion at this beautiful bach. So many treats and luxuries to enjoy, we felt very spoilt! Great communication with the owner and property manager. The view from the deck was stunning, changing through the day with the tide, light and weather. A very relaxing stay - we have come home feeling well rested and refreshed. Thank you!

Matarangi Get Away

Thank you for letting us stay in your home. We thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful, spacious house and location. There are some areas that could use attention:There was an ant infestation throughout the house, but mainly concentrated in the kitchen and living room.BBQ needs overhaul due to cleanliness issues (roaches nesting in cover, grease and debris buildup inside grill).Bikes are in need of attention to be useable.In the lounge, there is a meter-long strip in front of the glass door with water staining along the floor and baseboard; water is getting in when the door is sealed. Thank you, again, for your attention to detail. You have a beautiful home.

Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention regarding your recent stay at our property. While we are pleased that you enjoyed your holiday, we are devastated to learn about some of the issues you encountered. We have reviewed your feedback in detail and also consulted with the cleaning company who provided images from their post-cleaning inspection and want to assure you that the property was thoroughly inspected by both our manager and our cleaning company the day before your arrival. Unfortunately, just prior to and during your stay, we had a couple of extreme weather events, which we believe may have driven ants inside the property over the weekend. Cyclone Tam is also likely responsible for excess water getting in through the doors off the lounge, this has highlighted an issue with a small leak via the ranch slider that we were not aware of. Thank you for pointing this out, we have now engaged someone to rectify the problem with the door and are in the process of replacing the damaged piece of carpet. Given the property's location on the edge of the harbour, the location is naturally more susceptible to various pests. However, we take this matter very seriously and use a pest control company that monitors the property and lays baits and traps every month to combat these issues. We have asked them to increase the baits for ants inside the house whilst the weather is extra wet. As the bar-b-que is located outdoors it is also susceptible, however we don’t usually put any poison near this as it would be too easy for children to access. We acknowledge that it is getting older and are taking steps to have it reconditioned and have advised the pest team to lay additional cockroach baits beneath the house. We have also reminded the cleaning company to check the cleanliness of the BBQ after each stay. In addition, we regret to hear about the inconvenience you faced with the bikes at the property. Having rang our friend and Manager Malcolm (on how to switch on the oven), as you had his phone number, it would have perhaps been an opportunity to ring him to discuss the bikes. He is local and would have come over and pumped up the tires and applied some lubrication to the chains. We have now placed the bike pump in a clearly marked location for future guests. We appreciate your feedback and are dedicated to continuous improvement. Thank you for your input. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future under better weather conditions.

Magical Matarangi

The stay at this house was just wonderful. Everything was perfectly kept, clean, new and modern. The house was beautiful and right on the water. All the extra things Julie did was so welcoming. I would highly recommend this stay to anyone wanting to visit the area.

Fantastic property for family groups

The property is first class and well designed for large family groups as each have their own space, plus there is ample communal space. The kitchen and appliances throughout the house are all modern and excellent. Whilst not an easy walk from the main beach for younger families it is an quick car or bike ride, and there is plenty of walks to explore around the property for young and old. The property manager Malcom is very helpful and friendly. We had an unfortunate sequence of events that led to some property damage, and Malcolm was quick to get things sorted out in a manner that did not interrupt the flow of our stay. Overall everyone had a fantastic time, and the property and its location contributed greatly to our time in Matarangi.

Beautiful Home in Matarangi

This was a beautiful holiday home in a wonderful location. It was very comfortable and spotlessly clean. It had beautiful views and was perfect for two families to share. It had everything you need. We loved our time in Matarangi. The beach is stunning. The golf course is great for bar snacks and drinks or a meal and nearby Luke’s Kitchen in Kuatounu is a fabulous beachy pizza restaurant. So much to do around the area. Highly recommend this property to stay at, would go back in a heartbeat!

Amazing house for families and boaties

Awesome location close to not ramp and beach. The house is well set up for families and well appointed to a high standard. Liked the separate areas allowing families could have their own space. Beautiful garden leading down to a quiet public walking/biking track which the kids enjoyed. Very friendly to deal with, would definitely stay again. Recommend to all.

Spacious and smart

This house was perfect for giving our group of 8 plenty of separate relaxing spaces. The kitchen was very well equipped and great to have a BBQ to use. The beds were large and very comfortable with the bonus of a selection of different pillows. The landscaping is also a real feature and compliments the view perfectly. Communication with the owner was really easy.

Beautiful bach with great outlook

We loved our stay in this stylish and spacious bach with a beautiful view of the harbour and just a short walk from stunning Matarangi beach. The beds were comfy, the kitchen well equipped, the music sound system was amazing, and our host was helpful and generous. Having the use of bikes to ride along the harbourfront and kayaks that could be easily launched near the house was a great extra. We will definitely come again if we can.

First visit to Matarangi and what a well kept secrete. One of NZs most beautiful beaches.

Great floor plan that allows for everyone in the house to have privacy and yet enjoy common areas with great views. The open courtyard is especially comfortable.

So good we’ve already talked about rebooking

The house was great! Plenty of space for our group of 8 adults. We particularly loved the deck (and sunset views) & that the kitchen was right there so we could all still socialise. A couple of our group commented it might be the best summer house we’ve rented!
