About this property
Matakana Waterfall Hideaway & Retro Store
Welcome to your own private universe for two overlooking a stunning waterfall set in its own natural amphitheatre. A romantic oasis where you can escape it all, relax and read in the speckled sunlight, listen to music or just enjoy the breathtaking beauty of the waterfall. And if you like retro treasures, there’s Lord Alfred’s Antiques literally just outside your door. A minute or two down the road, Matakana's famous vineyards, farmer's market, sculpture trails and beautiful beaches await.
