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.

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.

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.

Better luck next time
The place is nice. The bedrooms are lovely. There was dog poo on the lawns and a few roaming dogs. However they seem nice just a heads up for those with children. Such a shame it was horrendous weather the entire time, would of been nice to reschedule the dates. No wifi so sat inside the majority of time. even the TV was cutting out because of the weather. Definitely wasn’t a summer holiday! Can’t control the weather I guess!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the whare. The beds are awesome. We had a beautiful rest when we were at the whare. I missed the small touches like having tea, coffee, sugar, salt, flour and jams like in the other BnB we usually rent at Mahinepua where we normally stay. The only complaint I have is that the house was locked, there was no key and I didn't have internet access on my mobile phone. Luckily the number for Sue was still on my email. Otherwise it was still a lovely stay. Kind regards, Ngaire Te Ahu

Awesome views
Great views, good house, bed comfy, complete kitchen utensils. Just a few points to mention, terrible check in, was emailed that the house would be unlocked when we arrived, but it wasn’t. Had to call contact person back and forth, lock key code not working, had to pick up key a couple of houses down the road. Not enough toilet paper supplied, but clean toilet. Not too keen about taking the rubbish to a refuse transfer station. More info about the location of the refuse station would’ve been nice. A map and drive duration to the station would be good. Lastly, wifi would also be good.

Amazing location, nice house but a few points before you go
Excellent location for our NY holiday and great base to explore Northland. Note that for this property we needed to bring things like our own dishwashing liquid, laundry detergent, salt, pepper, spray and wipe, cleaning cloths, paper towels, bin liners etc. There is no wifi (which could really be mentioned on the listing) - but we had 2-4 bars of 3G around the house depending on the provider so could hotspot (kinda). Other than bringing a laptop with movies downloaded, hotspotting is the only way to watch movies/TV shows as no DVD player. Otherwise there is just standard TV channels. The corner store at the top of the hill has 10/10 homemade pies and the bar/cafe is great. There is a better store selection at the holiday park shop at Matauri Bay (<5 mins drive) which also has fuel (91 and 95) and takeaways. The beach is stunning and we recommend boating or kayaking around this area. House did have moldy windows, but was otherwise clean. Dropping rubbish would've been annoying if we didn't go to Kerikeri quite a bit during our stay. Apparently it gets quite cloudy up on the hill where the house is but we still got some great days. Would recommend for friends or families.

Miserableness instead of KIwi hospitality.
Looked as advertised, until a closer inspection revealed the mold on windows ,doors and shower base, cobwebs, dirty kitchen joinery, stained cups and just general lack of that clean sparkle we expected. General meanness in what is supplied- 5 tea bags for 4 people for 5 day stay, 3 skinny toilet rolls,1 rubbish bag and although an exit clean is charged you have to remove all rubbish and recyclables. The addition of simple things like salt and pepper, sugar, extra bath mats, hand towels etc. would have made a big difference to eliminate feelings of miserableness. This batch didn't show Kiwi hospitality at its best. I had enquired about natural linen due to health issues and was assured all was fine- everything was polyester so used our own blankets, so disappointing given I had asked. Three of us got bitten and it was only when my daughter found a flea on her that we knew what the bites were. The dryer door catch was broken, didn't realise until Sunday. No WIFI and very sketchy cell phone coverage, communication mostly impossible. No manual for the accommodation or info to show local attractions, such simple things show care and consideration of your guests. Owners need to check on the cleaners and do a before check-in inspection. Feel really let down, was supposed to be a special family time. Location was the only reason we stayed, it was handy to the wedding we were attending.
