Loved our stay!

My partner and I loved staying here for a weekend getaway. It was clean, tidy and had modern comfortable furnishings. We also enjoyed a BBQ meal in the outdoor area, while watching the sunset over the beautiful and peaceful Matakana valley. And the outdoor bath was a magical star gazing experience!

Fabulous place

We really loved our stay here. The outdoor bath was a particular treat. The bed was super comfy and the place was in a beautiful and peaceful location. The only suggestion I would make is some more good sharp knives, the kitchen was otherwise well stocked with basics. We would definitely stay here again.

Matakana Valley Barn.

A perfect location for a holiday stay. Wonderful hosts. You have got to go there just to try out Grandma's Feather Bed. We would be back there tomorrow if we could. Plenty of birdlife and nice gardens.

Thanks Julie, I’m sorry you didn’t notice the spare bottle in the box next to the bath. I would have happily come up to show you how it worked if I had of known you were having trouble. Thanks.
