This is a spacious house and is a great location. It is only a couple of minutes walk to the shops, restaurants and the Farmers market, so it was great not to have to worry about parking in busy Matakana! Oliver is a great host, very helpful and accommodating.

Great location. The host was amazing, communication was always prompt and helpful. The amenities were great and there were some lovely small touches like milk and chocolates. For us, the bore water detracted from the stay. There was a terrible smell coming from the water every time we showered that stayed on our skin so this is the only reason for less stars.

Comfortable, roomy, and clean. Owner quickly responded to our questions. Could use a bit of decluttering to de-personalize.

We enjoyed our short stay in Matakana very much.The house is very spacious with large rooms, was beautifully clean and with two heat pumps was nice and warm. Oliver was excellent to deal with and very thoughtful. Lovely chocolates and milk in the fridge, towels laid out and fresh soap were neat surprise and delights. Fantastic location as it's so close to the Matakana market and shops!

Why they chose this property

Perfectly Placed Between Village Charm and Coastal Escape.

Step out the front door and within minutes you're browsing the iconic Matakana Weekend Market, sampling artisan produce, sipping wine at a cellar door, or catching a film at the charming Matakana Cinema... all on foot. When the beach calls, Omaha is moments away by car, offering world-class surf, swimming, and seaside dining.

What makes this property unique

What sets this Matakana getaway apart is its rare dual location advantage: you're a leisurely five-minute stroll from the heart of Matakana Village, yet just a five-minute drive to the white-sand stretch of Omaha Beach. Most holiday rentals in the region force a trade-off between coastal access and village atmosphere, this place delivers both without compromise.

The property is positioned in one of Auckland's most beloved weekend escape destinations, less than an hour from the CBD, yet worlds removed from city noise. Whether you're a foodie chasing the region's acclaimed dining scene, a wine lover exploring boutique Matakana vineyards, or simply a couple looking to unwind, this house hits a sweet spot that few properties in the area can match
