Everything you need for the perfect holiday

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely property. It had everything we needed to enjoy our holiday. It was clean and tidy with easy access to Matapouri Beach, Whale Bay and the local dairy. It was well equipped with activities and board games for entertaining the teenagers on rainy days, and there was plenty of room for us all to spread out, both indoors and outdoors. We would definitely stay there again.

Lovely Matapouri Bay

Beautifully decorated and landscaped home with plenty of room and lovely outdoor spaces. This home is within easy walking distance of gorgeous Matapouri beach, and 20 minutes walk from stunning Whale Bay. We loved these beaches and had a great time going out to the Poor Knights.

Great spot

Great place for a week away with our kids aged 9 and 10. Very clean and tidy and located in a gated community which made it safe for the kids to cruise around when we weren't at the beach or inside due to unfortunate rain! Neighbours house is very close to the back outdoor area.. need to be mindful if planning a few late nights by the BBQ. Great spot and great comms with the owners.

Brilliant location -so peaceful. Close to the beach but quiet. Loved the walk through the tropical gardens to the beach. Hosts super helpful -thank you! This is a beautiful property with gorgeous gardens and a variety of games. Some fierce family competition with cornhole and the tennis court was a great bonus. Great attention to detail with everything. Quality. Would love to return.
