We had a wonderful stay at Simon's place. It is the quintessential Kiwi bach and perfect for a summer holiday at the beach. The location is great; the beach is literally 4 minutes walk away, there are bush walks on your doorstep, and it's a short distance to the strip of shops by car or bicycle. We'd never stayed in Matarangi before and found it to be a great new discovery in the Coromandel as it's super safe and quiet, the beach is stunning and everyone is really friendly. The bach itself had everything we needed and more - there's a bike, petanque and a surfboard to use, plus plenty of games and DVD's for the kids. The bach is compact but perfect for 3-4 people and the beds and linen super comfortable. We would definitely love to stay here again.
