A pleasant getaway for the long weekend. Kids enjoyed walks to the beach, and the house was 👍

Our stay at beautiful Matapouri

We stayed a week at this holiday home. Warren was lovely to deal with, we booked last minute and he kindly accommodated us, he let us arrive early and leave at our leisure which we really appreciated. The house was clean and tidy and had everything we needed. We loved staying here and will book again. The recommended walks were also stunning. Thanks so much for having us.

Great batch - totally recommended.

This batch is nestled in the bush but 70m away from a private beach and really close to incredibly lovely beaches. It's a family batch and is comfortable, clean, warm, great kitchen, good beds, lovely communication with the owner. All really great. Totally recommended.

Amazing View

Good location with amazing view and close to the beaches. Property is clean with complete cooking facilities, linens, towels and toiletries. The outdoor dining table is the highlight for us. The hosts also allowed us to check in early and check out late. There are two floors with separate entrances and the stairs to access the floors are located outside only. We decided to just use the top floor as we do not want to sleep separately. Some of us slept on the living room. There is no WIFI, so if you are like us who are planning to do some dancing and karaoke, make sure you have enough data or bring your own music. Overall, it was an amazing experience.

Lovely quiet spot

We had a lovely stay in Staffa Bay. Sitting out on the deck in the afternoons glimpsing the sea amongst the trees was very relaxing. The private bay itself is magical and beaches in the area are absolutely world class.

Ladies Night away

What a fabulous location, your own provide beach (Staffa Bay) at the end of your driveway for an afternoon swim was beautiful. The house provided plenty of room for 7 of us. The outdoor living was perfect for afternoon cocktails.

Beach vacation

Local area is lovely, with some great walks. Heard/saw kiwis, and a fairly quiet spot with easy access to beach, close by beaches like Whale bay are superb, immediate beach accessible from property was ok. Amenities provided were good, and property is clean. Important to remember bottled water. Main road runs behind house, some road noise - just the odd vehicle was noticeable. Main living area is small, decking great though. Property is split over two levels; whilst the lower level has a bathroom there is no internal access. Turn off from road has a blind corner which causes concern when turning in. One review mentioned seeing dolphins from the deck, I would day this was improbable, or aided by incredible optics! overall great location for quality time, absolutely enjoyed and would recommend/return. interaction with the owner was great.
