Absolutely perfect, so close to town

This gorgeous property is in the heart of Matakana and only a couple of minutes walk to all that Matakana offers, great eateries and fabulous shops. Our hosts were lovely and gave us total privacy, but were happy to chat with us when we approached them. A really lovely couple. The room was perfect for us, a very comfy bed. The ensuite was small but we knew that and the shower had good pressure. We enjoyed our breakfast outside in the private area, and the gardens were lovely to look at. We will definitely return. Thank you so much

Stop over

We went to Matakana for a wedding and after a late night home were rudely awoken at 7.30am by the owner talking loudly on the cell phone outside our unit. To make matters worse someone then started cutting their hedge with an electric hedge cutter which was very noisy. It was a bit of a bad start to our day & left us a bit disgruntled.

The perfect cottage

It was the best place to stay for my partner and I. Everything you need from your accomodation was there and as a bonus everything else you may have needed was in walking distance. Great place to stay if you ever are going to need a place to stay in Matakana.

Matakana Studio Cottage

Wonderful host met us as soon as we arrived and welcomed us. Studio accommodation with bed in the same room as the kitchen and dining room, separate room with toilet and shower. Everything was impeccably clean, and in good working order. Very central in Matakana, we were able to leave the car outside the guests house and walk into the restaurants, shop, cinema, and along a small section of the river. Next to our accommodation was a food truck serving delicious Thai food. We will definitely return. Thank you Glenys

Fabulous location, lovely hosts

Glenys made our stay wonderful - not only through her warm greeting when we arrived but by thoughtfully providing info about the local area and a lovely dish of butter and preserves and milk in the fridge. Located a very short walk from the main hub of Matakana, the accommodation was compact and very clean. It had everything we needed for my daughter and I. We had a very enjoyable stay and would return without hesitation. Thank you.
