The location was perfect for our overnight stay 2minute drive to the wedding venue we attended. Thanks again for allowing us to check in earlier. Would highly recommend this property +++
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.
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.
The batch is located in an ideal location with a private bay. Many walks and activities in the surrounding. The batch is well equipped and very nice place to stay with some friends. The communication was easy and instructions clear, no problem. Would recommend
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.
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.
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.
Thank you Warren. This was an amazing property to invite my whanau and celebrate my first birthday in NZ. Quiet and private neighbourhood with the beach was just a few meters away.
Perfect spot for a weekend but even better when you have a wedding in Matapouri and want a haven of quiet to balance the celebration. Lovely to have family from Australia get a taste of this area - everything just as we expected/hoped Thankyou.
