We had a fantastic stay at this holiday cabin. The views were absolutely stunning, the space was tidy and well‑kept, and the location couldn’t have been better — just a quick 10‑minute drive to three or four incredible beaches. A perfect spot for a relaxing getaway.
Kingfisher Cottage has everything you would want or need in a bach setup. Master bed was super comfy and there were plenty of spaces to lounge and relax. The deck area has incredible views and was definitely the highlight of our stay. Beach's within driving distance (under 10 mins) making it the perfect location for families. Hosts were super responsive, with great communication and willing to go the extra mile to ensure we were well looked after.
Amazing views, lovely and very comfortable cottage with all the amenities, friendly and helpful hosts, located near fabulous beaches, excellent walks and fantastic boating places!
Was a lovely little cottage, had everything needed and was clean and tidy. For a weekend away with kids it was well equipped with toys and activities to entertain them. Lovely in peaceful with a view.
Loved our stay. Fabulous views and great accommodation. Would love to stay again when we next have the chance to visit this beautiful part of New Zealand again. Thank you
Perfect place to relax. The house is so open and fulfilled all of our needs. Not to mention the view is to die for! Can highly recommend and will be staying again.
Wonderful place to stay. Amazing view. Great communication with host. We will be coming back. Beautiful nearby beach with friendly staff who catered for dietary needs.
We loved our week at Kingfisher Cottage! A great wee bach that has everything one needs for a relaxing Northland vacation. Very friendly and helpful owner. Plus all the stunning walks and beaches in the area… we‘ll be back!
A really nicely presented property with incredible ocean views. Handy to many gorgeous bays and interesting walks. The house has everything you'd require with a well-stocked kitchen and comfortable bed. Can't recommend this place highly enough.
The views were stunning, the place was spotless, and there were plenty of amenities for our group of six friends. We had an amazing time and can't wait to come back again. Highly recommended!
The stay was excellent. The place is nice, quiet with amazing views. Highly recommended if you are looking for quiet time.Mandee is an excellent host, she responded quickly to any questions we had. We would gladly stay here one more time.

The closest listing area for the location of the cottage is "Matauri Bay" but it clear from the description etc. that it is not at Matauri Bay but further on, closest to Te Ngaere and Mahinepua beaches. It would be good if Bookabach had more options for location in their general listing categories.
The views from this property are outstanding. I loved having this quiet time to sit and watch the weather changing out over the hills and water. House was clean and had everything we needed. Close enough to several Northland towns to get supplies and explore. Bed was very comfortable and we slept well. Hosts were great- super friendly and communicative about some work being done on the property- checking in with us. Lovely, peaceful stay!
Beautiful views from the deck. Short drive to beautiful private beaches. Had everything you need. The last night we saw the most amazing rainbow right from the deck! Had an issue with wifi and Mandee was quick to resolve. Perfect for the R and R we needed! Thanks for having us!
My wife and I very much enjoyed our stay at Kingfisher Bach. A lovely, comfortable property with spectacular vistas of the ocean and landscape. Thanks to Mandee and Johnny for making us so welcome, and for guiding us through the skills of filleting large freshly caught fish! We thoroughly recommend the Bach to others.
