About the host
Hosted by Catherine Donald
We spent two summers renting in Matarangi and fell in love with the place. We own the property with my elderly parents and have two teenage daughters who love Matarangi. We are all based in Auckland.
Why they chose this property
The location of our bach is amazing - Matarangi Beach is only four houses away at the end of the street. The village Green in less than 50m away (lots of events happen here over summer). There is a playground and basketball hoop on the village green. We are only a 5 minute walk to the local shops and cafe.
The bach was built by the original owners (he was a builder) and they lived here until ill health took them back to Auckland. He wanted to build something original and the octagon shape is the end result. Our family purchased the property in March 2020. We came to Matarangi for a couple of summers and fell in love with the place and decided we needed a more permanent base to enjoy it! Our teenage daughters love Matarangi and we love how safe it is.
Modern new furniture, including 2 kings beds and 2 x king single beds
Unlike most baches, our kitchen is fully equipped, even including baking equipment, crock pot, toasted sandwich maker, sharp knives - there really isn't anything else you will need to bring.
There is an abundance of beautiful beaches to explore within a short drive including Otama Beach, Opito Bay, Simpsons beach, Whangapoua Beach, and New Chums Beach are all within 20-25 minutes drive, as is Coromandel Town. Hot water beach is an hour away..
We hope you enjoy Matarangi and our family bach as much as we do.
What makes this property unique
Aside from the amazing location, the unique octagon shape means we have wrap around decks so you can chase the sun (or shade) all day.
