Independent in Mataraua Forest from NZ$180

"Stayed in a 2 bedroom suite… Fantastic Master Bedroom, Living Room 2 showers and baths. Impeccably decorated. Large, large shower enclosure. The managers (husband and wife) running the place were great. Views out the windows and sliding glass door were straight at the beach and bay ( nobody or thing blocked any of the views "

"Amazing views of the harbour, cosy little batch, perfect for our stay. "

"Great location, stunning views "

"My family really enjoyed our stay here. Great location as the beach was within walking distance and the lakes were only a 10 minute drive. The place was tidy and comfortable with enough room to relax with a few different tables to do activities like games, puzzles or eating. We would definitely be keen to stay here again in the future."

"Newly refurbished, modern, super clean rooms. "

"A lovely clean and comfy cottage with everything we needed and very kind hosts. We felt very welcome and enjoyed the gardens and space. The area is very well positioned for discovering Northland. Jane and Craig were lovely and even brought my washing in before an unexpected rainstorm. I intend to book the cottage again for my next Northland visit. "

"Everything about our stay was amazing. The room was beautiful and spacious - very clean and tidy and smelt amazing. The beds were comfortable and the AC worked perfectly. Our hostess was amazing and so friendly. If we are ever up north again we will be booking in again!"

"Really pleased we booked this country cottage - a great place to use as a base to explore the surrounding bays and then arrive back to somewhere comfortable and homely (and quite unique) at the end of the day …. 10/10"

"Our 2nd time staying here and was awesome both times thank you"
