Relax while taking in the expansive sea views

Put your feet up and take a restful break or sample the many activities available in and around Matauri Bay.
Take a swim down at the Bay, fish around the local waters, dive on the final resting place of the Rainbow Warrior, indulge in a game of golf at Kauri Cliffs, pick up a bottle of wine and some food at the local Top Shop and Blue Bar or take a leisurely drive along the coastline passing Te Ngaere, Wainui, and Tauranga Bay to Whangaroa Harbour.
From here you can explore the Far North by travelling to Ninety Mile beach and Cape Reinga passing many iconic settlements on the way or heading south to the historic Bay of Islands areas of Kerikeri, Paihia, Waitangi and Russell.
Our 3 bedroom home is bright and modern with open plan living and stainless steel kitchen appliances.
The views greet you in the morning from the front bedrooms, which have French doors that open onto a full length deck.
The living areas also open onto the deck and the expansive views of the Cavalli Islands.
All the linen will be supplied and help generate a feeling of comfort and warmth at a realistic price.
We invite families, couples and groups of friends to come and sample the area.
Special conditions:
Smoking allowed outside only.
All garbage and recycling items to be removed from the property at departure. (Directions to the local refuse transfer station is available).
All bedding and linen is supplied at a compulsory cost of $50 per stay.

A magical spot!

We had a fantastic stay up in Matauri Bay and the accommodation location was a short drive from the beach and other attractions. The only hitches had was we couldn’t get the TV to work, but didn’t need it in the end and could have contact led the host if we really needed it. A nice clean spot with everything we needed. Thanks

Home away from home

Super clean, tidy & had everything we needed. It felt like home, had the best sleep over the weekend and we were so warm without needing any form of heating the house was cosy even with the storm overnight, I would stay again in a heart beat. Highly recommend.

Everything you need with lovely views

I was so pleased that the owners have recently upgraded the property by installing WiFi. It’s a short drive to the beautiful beach and a walk to the local pub…..and the views from the little road it’s situated on are incredible (also great views from the property)! It has everything you need in the house. Thanks for your amazing communication Ngaire!

Matauri Bay stay

We had the very best time at Matauri Bay. The accommodation and the weather were perfect. We dived on the Rainbow Warrior and paid our respects at the memorial, swam in the crystal clear water, had far too many coffees at the campground cafe and way too many pink gins. Thanks for sharing your awesome whare with us.

Fantastic view

The home is lovely. Great views , sunny and warm, quiet with lots of bird activity to watch. A recommendation would be to bomb the house for fleas and clean mould off screens and windows. Other than those issues we had a fabulous time at a reasonable price and we will return.😊

Wonderful enjoyed our xmas holiday

100% we enjoyed everything the home had to offer, Would definitely recommend A+ Little mix up in checking in, house was not unlocked and code for key box was not given. My partner changed the first combination on lock and got it opened. Wifi would be a lovely touch to have.
