About this property

Destination Matapouri

A clean and tidy holiday home which is just a 2 minute walk to Matapouri Bay - surely one of the most beautiful beaches in Northland. The bach consists of 3 bedrooms which can comfortably accomodate 8 people. The bach is conveniently located close to the estuary which is a great spot to take the kids kayaking. We have 2 kayaks available to be used by guests. The property is fully fenced and is flat - ideal for parking the boat. We have recently added a large deck to the property which is great during the summer months.

The bach is also close to some other magical spots - including Sandy Bay (surfer's mecca), Wooleys Bay and the beautiful Whale Bay. Tutukaka is just 6km away where dive trips to the Poor Knights islands or fishing charters can be arranged.

There are many other activities that you can take part in during your stay - these include swimming, snorkelling, surfing, golf, walking, fishing, cycling and mountain biking. Golf courses are located at Whangarei (30 minute drive) and further north at Hikurangi.

Special conditions:
Pets OK but please keep outside and tidy up after them.
Smoking OK but only outside.
Two nights minimum stay.
Please ensure all rubbish is removed before departing.

NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave; Bring your own linen (towels/sheets/tea towels);

We had a few nights revisiting Matapouri Bay and our stay at the property was clean, comfortable and in a great location. Communication with John was quick and he was very accommodating to my enquires. We loved lounging out in the sun on the front deck and the kiddies loved the trampoline. Thanks John!

Awesome location
Had a great stay. Short walk to a beautiful beach and a great general store close by which sells good takeaways. More amazing beaches a short drive away. The bach is comfortable with all the things you need for a relaxing summer holiday. John the owner is friendly and easy to communicate with.
