Mataikona Retreat
Our stay at Mou & Mollie's beach house was great. The house was perfect for us, great location and views, we would definitely stay there again. We managed to catch up with Mou and Molley on our way home, they were friendly and great people to talk to.

Peaceful getaway on the coast
Mollie and Moe’s place was lovely! Check in was easy and location was quiet and had an amazing view. Key pickup was easy. Note is that the drive out is loose gravel and a small patch of soft sand - not bad though, as my Toyota Corolla made it through easily. Definitely recommend.

Although the weather wasn't the best, the location more than made up for it. Fantastic place to get away to and will definitely be back. There is everything you could need at the bach and the fire is amazing. I spent hours on deck just listening to the sea. Juwhat I needed
