Exceeding our expectations
We stayed here with our bridal parties for our wedding in Matakana and the property blew us away. Photos really can’t do this place the justice it so deserves. We had a truly amazing time and would 1000% book this place again. Communication with the owner was so clear and consistent and really helped us be stress free here at the property.

Stunning Property
Thank you so much for sharing your property. We had a fantastic family get-together to celebrate my wife's 65th. The house and location were amazing. Kevin was so welcoming and helpful, and generous with sharing all the facilities the property had to offer. We hope to be back.

A very special place
This place could not have been better for our family get-together. The house is great with a big kitchen, plenty of seating and options for eating inside or out. The view is beautiful, looking over to Omaha and Ti Point. There are some good kayaks and stand-up paddleboards for water activities. It’s a great location and Kevin is a warm and helpful host. None of us wanted to leave and we all want to come again!

Just perfect
Two wonderfully appointed properties allowed the family and friends to gather over a 7 day period in a home like environment. With kayaks on hand , the bird sanctuary was a short paddle and being inland we were protected from the worse of the weather. Everything was supplied and Kevin was very helpful. A great location, close to everything

We loved staying at this gorgeous property, unfortunately the weather wasn’t great but we still thoroughly enjoyed our time at the house and area. It worked perfectly for our family of six adults. We will be back again and fingers crossed for sunshine :) thanks Kevin!

Great Getaway for Relaxation
My family and I had a wonderful weekend away, only wish it was longer. Property was perfect for a relaxing getaway. We were able to take our jet ski's, with the easy access and enjoy some fun on the water, then relax in the warm spa afterwards. Plenty of wood supplied for the fire and great recommendations for dinner. Kevin was very accommodating and easy to get hold of with any queries. We will definitely be returning.

This is the perfect retreat for summer or winter. Not only does host, Kevin, go above and beyond in advice but his home is exceptionally clean and generously supplied with everything you need including upgraded amenities. The kitchen is well stocked, firewood piled high (indoor and outdoor), stacks of towels and even some starter nespresso pods and laundry detergent. The adults loved hitting golf balls into the harbor and picking them up at low tide. The kids enjoyed the swings, kayaks and water gear. EVERYONE loved the spa pool. Once you've stayed at this house, you will want to come back again and again. It is both easily accessible to local attractions (thanks for the great tips, Kevin) and it's a quiet beach haven all to yourself. Grateful for the new memories made and can't wait to come back any time of the year.

Wonderful Autumn break in Whangateau
We had a wonderful Autumn week at this beautiful property. The weather was not perfect but it didn't matter, we were still able to walk, kayak, use the spa and most importantly relax. Kevin was helpful and gave us great tips about where to go in the area. A special place, so close to everything that the Matakana Coast has to offer.

One of our best weekends over summer. Kevin and Nicky are great hosts and the property is beautifully presented and as described being right on the beach with use of water sports gear. Real value for money. We’ll be back for sure.

True Paradise
A wonderful experience was full of surprises all due to the priceless tips on the locals best-kept secrets given by our host Kevin. You could probably save hundreds from seeking guided tours and get by for 4-5 days of adventure packed activities day and night. Kevin was super friendly and willing to lend a hand with great kindness and ease during our entire stay. The location is a rare find; a combination of a historical landing with mature wildlife (both marine and aerial) with sleek, modern facilities that cater for all our comforts. 这真是一次又一次充满着意外惊喜的度假。度假屋设计的时尚,艺术,温馨,有家的感觉。房东是一个很有绅士风度的男人。也很健谈,很友好。他给我们介绍了许多周边好玩的地方,把我们的度假生活塞满了奇妙的体验。对于很多人来说肯定会有好几个人生第一次,我们还会再来。

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful house at Whangateau. The house has all modern amenities and comfortable large beds. The children all had a ball spending hours and hours on the private beach playing on the swings and sea toys. We would love to come back and stay again. Thank you.

A very special spot
We were pleasantly surprised arriving at Kevin’s holiday home. The house is a very modern and functional design, with everything you need. Having the beach on our door step was super special, particularly with young kids. There is lots to see and do in the area too, but we were happy staying put most of the time. Kevin the host is very friendly and helpful and a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommend!

A piece of paradise.
We are a family of 4 (2 daughters 12 and 14) and spent three nights at this amazing property over Auckland Anniversary weekend. It was right on the beach front and very private with nobody else on the beach. The water was crystal clear and amazing. We swam, kayaked and totally relaxed and unwound at this idyllic beautiful spot and just loved it. The house is new and totally gorgeous. Beautiful silky sheets on the bed and super comfortable beds and pillows. Kevin the property owner was amazing. So friendly, and extremely communicative and helpful every step of the way. We absolutely loved staying here and would highly recommend it! Ten out of ten for sure!!

Can't say enough about this amazing property and our family's experience here. A true private oasis. Amazing private beach perfect for our young kids to paddle, use the kayaks and boards as well as use the tree swings. A new well maintained house including everything you could ever need.

This property is amazing and had everything we could’ve wanted. It was incredibly relaxing with ample space for the 6 of us and our own private beach which was amazing to wake up to each morning! The owners were also so welcoming which just added to the whole experience. We felt totally carefree while we were staying here and are already thinking about our next trip!

Beach side Whangateau
A spacious, private, comfortable modern, well appointed property above a semi private beach. Added advantage is the inclusion of kayaks, paddle boards, boogie boards etc in the rental fee. Enjoyable walks on the mud flats at low tide, investigating estuary wild life. The only downside to our stay was a persistantly srrong SW wind from day 2 of our stay which made unpleasant conditions for swimming and using the water toys. However we have no control over the weather!
