"Great stay ! The cabin was clean and comfortable with a good shower and toilet. Had basic cooking facilities including a microwave and fridge. Comfortable bed, although a little small for a couple. The pool area was well maintained and the big pool was long enough to do laps and warm enough in the winter to use. It’s handy to the Kaimais, Hobbit Town and there is a supermarket 6 minutes drive. Parking was supplied next to the cabin."

"Had a comfortable stay, the location is perfect if you’re here for the beach ! Sad that the hot pools and the Mountain are now closed to the public, but still plenty to do. The gym and pools are good, although the hot pool smelt of coconut oil, which was a bit weird. But it’s hard to fault the complex, which is well designed and clean. However I have yet to be offered, or had the option to stay in the ‘twin towers’, in fact I suspect they are not part of the Oceanside accommodation, so prepare for that disappointment. The other issue I had was parking, my park had a pillar in the way and a HUGE 4x4 in the neighbouring park which ment it was nearly impossible to get my car in, I ended up incurring $1000 of un-insurable damage when I caught my car on the pillar, this really left a sour taste in my mouth as other people have complained about it in the past. The VERY LEAST they can do is put some padding on the pillars, but why not make the parks with pillars in them a little wider ?? Anyway, I’d still recommend staying here, just watch your parking !"

"Great location and very clean, friendly staff, and room was great with kitchenette and even a washer dryer (not that we needed these things this trip). The only issues we had was the bed was to firm for my liking and no top sheet, and only 1 comfortable chair in the room means one of you have to either sit on the bed or at the dinning table."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Matakana Island?
The best time to go to Matakana Island is during the summer months, from December to February, or the shoulder seasons of spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May).Summer offers the warmest weather, great for enjoying the island's extensive beaches and water activities. You'll find long, sunny days ideal for swimming, surfing, and paddleboarding. This is also when most local events and festivals take place, adding to the island's appeal. However, it's also the busiest period, so booking accommodation and ferry crossings well in advance is essential.The shoulder seasons provide a wonderful balance of pleasant weather and fewer crowds. In spring, the island's natural landscape is particularly lush, and the temperatures are mild enough for comfortable outdoor exploration. Autumn brings settled weather and often stunning sunsets, making it a great time for couples seeking a peaceful getaway. You'll still be able to enjoy many outdoor activities without the peak season rush.For those looking to avoid crowds entirely and who don't mind cooler temperatures, winter (June to August) can be a good option. While it's not ideal for swimming, the island's walking trails are still accessible, and you'll experience a very tranquil side of Matakana.
