We stayed at Miranda's place for 3 nights while in the Matakana region for a wedding. Just a really great spot - up a steep drive, it's a beautiful bush-clad property with really good views over the Whangateau Harbour & Tawharanui Peninsula. Miranda and her hubby were away while we were there, so while disappointed to miss them, we had the place to ourselves. It was quiet & secluded. Miranda had laid everything out beautifully and we really appreciated the chocolate and coffee! Whangateau is an excellent location for exploring the region - we spent good time in Matakana, Omaha, Leigh, Goat Island, and went up to Pakiri. Would highly recommend all of them, fantastic beaches, and we were blessed with beautiful warm weather during our stay. Book this place if it's available - you'll be pleased you did.
