New Matapouri Bay Holiday House, In Sub-tropical Matapouri Park
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (13)
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely property. It had everything we needed to enjoy our holiday. It was clean and tidy with easy access to Matapouri Beach, Whale Bay and the local dairy. It was well equipped with activities and board games for entertaining the teenagers on rainy days, and there was plenty of room for us all to spread out, both indoors and outdoors. We would definitely stay there again."

"Beautiful batch with everything you could need for your stay. The kids loved it and made friends with some kids from the camp ground and lots of spotlight games were played until late at night 😁 The house is lovely and big and even though we were 2 families in it we never felt on top of each other. Will definitely be back!"

"Lovely bach, excellent location. Would love to make a suggestion to have some pedestal fans available to use at night for sleeping, it’s such a nice warm bach but unbearable for sleep…….we wished we’d brought our own fans. Also Bachcare sent us the wrong lockbox code but we’re lucky they answered the phone with the first call and rectified the problem. Thankyou to the owners for renting out their home so people like us can have a summer holiday at the best location!!"

"Our booking was by pure fluke. We were staying in Mangawhai and every holiday rental was totally booked until we came across this beauty. Amy, our host and son Finn welcomed us to their piece of paradise with open arms and big smiles. We were then greeted by horses outside our window, an immaculate fully self contained flat with the most comfortable bed ive ever slept in and a swimming oasis at our feet. Everything about our stay was magical, right down the the friendly locals at the store 2mins...

The Platinum Rendezvous - Matapouri Holiday Home
8.8 out of 10, Excellent, (3)
"Nice big house in a quiet gated community suitable for a family stay. Short drive or walk to the beach. Comfy beds and clean bathrooms and big fridge. The house is great though the outdoor furniture was rather rough and the lack of shade (broken umbrella) on the large deck meant we couldn’t sit outside during the day. The couches could do with a clean as well, they were quite stained and dirty. The house could do with some more glassware too."

Sandy Bay Beachfront
9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (31)
"We had an amazing Easter break at Sandy Bay, the house is ideal for a group with 2 entirely separate areas, and all amenities included. We surfed and swam every day. The location is 10/10 being directly opposite the beach - you can hear the waves crashing at night and the view is magnificent. It is quiet, private and roomy. We would love to return soon. Nat is a very responsive and organised host - thanks Nat."
