Great Location, Super Relaxing Stay

We had a lovely week away in this property with our two boys. The playground a few houses away is fabulous and we had great times on the beach, which is just across from the park. The house had everything we needed and was well supplied and comfortable to stay in.

Great location, close to beach & playground!

We loved our stay, the home was comfortable and clean. Very close to the beach and playground which was perfect for our daughter. Loved the beach and how the beach had a box full of kids toys to play with at the beach (then return as you left the beach). Thank you!

Octagon in Paradise

We love everything about the Coromandel, and finding this almost beachfront accommodation added more happiness. We could walk to the beach and the shops in town centre. The long stretch of flat, hard packed sand beckoned daily walks. We enjoy self catering and appreciate the ambiance that our host provided. Everything we needed was there - great kitchen and pantry. Lots of outdoor spaces to dine alfresco and just relax. Thanks for offering your home to travelers.

Nice Location and Enjoyable Stay

It is nice bach close to the beach, just a quick walk through a park to the sand. That part of Matarangi is a hive of enjoyable activities and people are out in groups all over that area, walking and talking, running, kids playing, riding bikes, going to the beach, getting boats in and out of the water. The bach itself has a wonderful wrap around porch, and can be opened on all sides to let the sea breeze in on warm days. We found everything we needed for preparing meals without any problem, and the single bathroom works well even for large groups since the toilet is separate from the shower, which are both separate from the sink. Overall very enjoyable! 🙂

Great place to stay! Ideal location with the beach only a two minute walk away, and large park and playground at the end of the road great for families. Super tidy and well laid out house with all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay. Would recommend to anyone wanting to visit Matarangi.

The host was awesome!

We had a really great stay here over the weekend. Catherine, the host, was so quick at replying and easy to deal with. The place is a short walk to the beach. Super comfy beds. You do need to be prepared with food and snacks and sauces etc for cooking, if you want them. As there is only the basics. But there is a four square close. Overall, a great stay and we would definitely book again.
