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.😊

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.

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.
