We were completely blown away by this place! We booked it last minute as a child-free treat to ourselves before the kids got back from their grandparents and it did not disappoint. The privacy, the layout of the baches, the bedding, the details (insect repellent!!), the pool (perfect temp and we stayed in way longer than we had planned, in the rain - BLISS!). We cannot wait to return with our kids and friends in future. Anissa is so warm and helpful too - huge thanks to you and your team for making our little escape so perfect!

We loved our stay at plume villas. Everything was well done and all facilities within the room were excellent.
Unfortunately the restaurant was closed so we had to go into Matakana for dinner
We will definitely stay again

Great little village with heaps to do and great Farmers' Market.
We hired ebikes to do the bike trail from Matakana to Omaha Beach, stopping of at the incredible Sculptureum and then Farmer's Daughter for lunch.
Drinks at #8 Wired cellar door and dinner at Sawmill Smoko Room, breakfast treats and fantastic coffee from Ringawera Bakery, and brunch at Market Kitchen... and that was just 2 days' worth!

Great little shops, cafes and restaurants. A short drive from the town and you find yourselves in Tawharanui Regional Park - a sanctuary for native birds, with walking tracks and lovely beaches. We stayed there for a night en route from Tauranga to Bay of Islands - and would definitely visit again.

A lovely village of shops, cafes, beautiful countryside and so near the sea.
We had dinner at the Matakana Market kitchen which was lovely, good food, great wine list, and good service considering the COVID short staff issues.

Beautiful part of New Zealand - wineries, beaches, one of the best farmers markets, great restaurants and much more. A great place for a long weekend away, romantic stay, or even a family holiday near the beach.
Really enjoyed our 5 night stay here with our baby and 3yo. The accommodation was like a little house perched atop a vinyard (units 10 and 11 in brilliant locations with views). If you're looking for a relaxing get-away this is the place. There are so so many things you do around Matakana especially if you're into food, wine, art, beaches, walks and hikes. Plus the Saturday market was brilliant - and we bought lots of the foods and goodies on offer.
Fantastic proximity to Matakana Village with alley way access short cut, yet tucked quietly away from the main road and busy shopping area. Rooms are extremely well appointed with everything you need, and by far the cleanest motel we have stayed at in a while. Easy going and welcoming hosts, we will definitely be back to stay again. Added bonus is the lovely swimming pool and BBQ area - if only we had packed our swimming trunks!
It is a tranquil spot, beautifully quiet. On arrival we were tired and the comfy armchair and footstool, along with the wide cushioned window seat were perfect for a rest. The shutters and blinds were very effective in both making the room dark for sleep and allowing in plenty of light in daytime. Matakana village is delightful. The cinema in particular is worth visiting, and there are several bakeries, cafes etc.
Location in Matakana is fantastic! Steps away from everything in the village yet private and secure. The space is compact yet big enough for two, totally spotless, and has everything you need thought of. Decor, finishing, toiletries & bedding are all high end. Loved our sunny deck to sit on with a wine. Thanks for your great communication, hospitality and generous gift of local wine and beer.
- fabulous location. 5 mins to Omaha Beach, 5 mins to Matakana and beautiful views of the estuary. Very quiet.
- great deck with outdoor seating and dining
- decent kitchen, equipped with a good range of appliances.
- spacious living area with large tv on the wall
- 2 decent sized double bedrooms. Might feel tight for 4 people. But good for 2 friends or a couple.
The location was right behind main street. Great restaurants and shops in this quaint town. The bed was excellent. Room was super clean. BBQ grill worked great. Hotel owners were very friendly and helpful--gave us a great restaurant recommendation. Very welcoming! A wonderful place for families with kids' playground and trampoline.
We can not talk highly enough about Michelle's Place. It is simply gorgeous. Situated close to Matakana but in the country. Amazing views. The accommodation itself is very tasteful and the most comfortable bed we slept on for our whole two week trip. If it wasn't so far from home for us I am sure we would become regulars!!
We loved our stay at Low House! It was a wonderful getaway after our wedding to relax and rest, and low house was so peaceful, quiet and beautiful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay - we liked how close to Matakana shops it is located, the quite street, privacy and comfortable finishings. Thanks so much, Lily & Jason
Friendly welcome - superb apartment, comfortable, spotless - with everything you could possibly need provided.
Apartment had a comfortable terrace facing a well kept and peaceful, private garden.
Easy access to Matakana village, local beaches, sculpture parks and wineries.
Would thoroughly recommend.
The villas were modern, elegant and practical, with all the comforts of home in lovely park like grounds. Lovely place to unwind for the weekend and great base for exploring nearby matakana, Omaha and goats Island. Close to auckland but feels like a countryside escape.
The rooms are clean. Matakana Hotel rooms provide the basic necessities, with a small kitchenette. Shades & blinds are provided for the glass front wall and the sliding glass entrance door. Coin laundry is available.
Marilyn and her husband were so friendly and helpful during our stay. They provided tips about the local area. The property is centrally located and you can walk to everything in the village.
It was so noticeable not having to have an air conditioner going all night to keep the room warm which most hotels you have to put up with - loved it - modern, comfortable, clean, spacious :)
Stunning little cottage. Lovely fresh flowers on arrival and little extras like using local coffee and bathroom goods. Fabulous location right in the Matakana Village.
