This is a stress free stay in a family friendly, dog friendly home (fully fenced for our small dog, no gaps!). Positioned for sun with extensive decks and plenty of outdoor sitting/ dining options. Lovely new well equipped kitchen. Large screen TV, huge range of old favorite dvds, books and board games. Beautiful Matarangi Beach and Four Square close by. Cosy and warm for our winter break.

Great place for a short relaxing holiday

We really enjoyed our stay. The fact that the property is fully fenced made it a lot more relaxing given we were travelling with a small anxious dog. The communication with the owner was very straightforward and friendly. I would highly recommend this place!

About the host

Hosted by Sean Leigh

Host profile image
I grew up in West Auckland in the beautiful rural spot of Waimauku, with nearby West Coast beaches of Muriwai Beach and Maori Bay the ocean has always been a draw card for me, with the family farm also uniquely surrounded by Kauri forest I have had an amazing upbringing close to both land and sea, and strong connection to the outdoors.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with this property and the surrounding Matarangi area while staying there many years ago, it always had a great family bach vibe and I have tried to enhance that over the years that I have been privileged to look after the property.
I have traveled a lot internationally and every time I come home to NZ I feel extremely lucky to call NZ home - The Coromandel is one of many gems of NZ and Matarangi is a great base to explore the surrounding areas of New Chums, Kuaotunu, Opito Bay, Whitianga, Coromandel Town, Hahei, and many more unique little NZ spots.
Every time I walk in to the property I just take a breath out and the relaxing can start, I hope my guests get the same feeling.

What makes this property unique

Traditional beach bach vibe, that is very easy to switch off, relax and feel comfortable entertaining family and friends.
Close to beach, boat ramp, golf course, 4 Square convenient store, tennis courts, public amenities.
