Fantastic relaxing holiday!

We had extended family staying in all 4 units and had such an amazing time. Fantastic location next to the estuary and short walk to the beach. There is a small shop within walking distance and heaps of bush walks to explore. Great for little and big kids. Units had everything we needed. Thanks for the great stay!!

Great Family Get Away

Fantastic location, but units are tired and in desperate need of attention. Our unit had a oven with dodgy door and dirty dish left in it. The bbq we had to clean before using, but family enjoyed our time together, with own space.

Superb!

What a fantastic property! The accommodation was just perfect for our large family group. Amazing location right opposite the estuary where the water was nice and shallow, which was just perfect for the children in our group. Everyone had a great time on the kayaks, paddle boards and tandem bikes (all supplied with the property). The main beach is a 10 minute stroll up the road for those who want their water a bit deeper. We loved it so much we have already booked again for next year.

Superb Location!

We had a wonderful stay visiting Matapouri with our international guests over the summer break. This batch is superbly located, right across the estuary which connects the beach and stream. The batch itself is laid out like a relaxed, simple Kiwi Batch, with all the basic amenities. The hosts, Catherine and Andrew, are warm and kind people, both eager to make sure we had a great stay - providing us with tandem bikes, kayaks and a paddle board so we could truly enjoy our time there. Matapouri is an idyllic space, perfect for visitors with young children, and truly a slice of heaven. Thank you for hosting us!

Awesome place for a holiday especially for a large group like our's.

Awesome place for a holiday especially for a large group like our's. There were lot's of space and room for everyone and with the self contained unit, it had everything you need. We would love to go back there in the near future and highly recommend this place to our friends and families. Blessings! Sione, Eita & Restoration Church.
