Stay at

The property was very nicely presented, with a bright sunny aspect. The walk to the village was really easy with use of the footpath at the back. Would definitely look to stay again and recommend to friends.

Matakana

Small but well equipped and very clean apartment underneath the owner’s property. Situated on a very quiet/ peaceful residential street around a 5 minute walk to the village (accessed from a path behind the house). Not the cheapest, but a high standard of accommodation in a good location; ideal for a couple on a short break.

Gorgeous accommodation with easy access to Matakana Village. Very clean and comfortable with everything thoughtfully provided. Lovely rear garden created a sense of privacy and it was nice to know the owner was nearby in case of any issues (although we had none!)

Our stay was a simple overnighter, but the property was fantastic and beautifully laid out. Clear instructions about the place and helpful information about the area was available and easy to understand. It catches the morning sun and is beautifully quiet

Stylish apartment, easy walk to Matakana village

Beautifully presented, modern, stylish and fully equipped apartment, only a short walk to Matakana village. Lovely private terrace with views to the garden. Perfect base for couples wanting to explore the area, with the bonus that you can have a wine or two in the village and walk home! Would highly recommend and hope to return!

Idyllic, peaceful and relaxing

A gorgeous wee place nestled in the heart of matakana. So lovely to be able to relax with one of my bestie's in such a beautiful home. Jules was super helpful and went to lengths to make our stay a great one. Great tip if you're going with the friend she is able to separate the bed into two singles. The property was beautifully furnished and conducive to snuggling down and relaxing

Thank you Jules, we had a lovely stay. Your little garden apartment was beautifully furnished and clean. Good little kitchen well provisioned with cooking tools and pots, washer/dryer very handy. Perfect for a 3 day retreat from Auckland. Great being able to park off street. Very walkable to Matakana Village centre - really only 5 minutes walk. Thank you.

So Enjoyable!!

Would highly recommend!! Wonderful location, being 5 mins walk from Matakana village and within easy driving distance to lovely walks & sightseeing areas. Would recommend Brick Bay Wines & Sculpture Trail, Leigh coastal walk, Ti Point Coastal Walk, Tāwharanui Peninsula plus Matakana Village itself. The apartment was perfect for our 3 night stay. Bed was extremely comfortable, well equipped kitchen, small bathroom but very adequate. Everything we needed really. Jules was very easy to communicate with. A delightful host! Many thanks...
