We highly recommend a stay at The Chapel! It’s a lovely, spacious, stylish church conversion that offers a restful ambience. The kitchen has plenty of great cooking utensils, cutlery and crockery, and even boasts a slow cooker (crockpot) and rice cooker! The heat pump/aircon in the lounge room is great for the afternoons and evenings once the sun has filled the place. The bedrooms are large and spacious, although in summer the upstairs bedroom gets very hot from quite early in the day. The Chapel is a wonderful respite from the stresses of the big city, and Matakana is a beautiful place to visit. Highly recommend the Matakana Market Kitchen and the Rusty Pelican!
