My wife Cindy and I spent January 2023 renting Simon & Vicki’s Bach in Matarangi. Fleeing the cold & gloom of London, a Kiwi friend mentioned the Coromandel Penninsula as a good choice as we were looking for a quiet spot with a great beach and some hiking, and from where we could do day trips. We’re very experienced travelers but had never chanced renting an Air B&B. After searching extensively, this little 2-bed Bach in Matarangi on the eastern coast caught our eye. Of all the places we looked at, this one looked so cozy and unpretentious, and yet in had absolutely everything, including being only 4 minutes from the most amazing beach! Suffice it to say, we hit The Jackpot! We hated to leave, and the Hosts, Simon & Vicki,
Who also live locally, are as wonderful, kind and helpful as anyone could hope for. Should we return to New Zealand in the future, we’ll hope that there’s a vacancy at the Bach for us. In the meantime we’ll be recommending it to our friends back in the UK & the US.
