We took the advice of other reviewers and booked a few nights for an off-the-grid long weekend at the cottage. It’s beautifully situated in native bush and about a 5-10 min drive from Matakana Village. The cottage had such a cosy feel to it, with the fire on and candles lit. It had everything we needed, and Jasmijn kindly brought us some fresh eggs from the market. Highly recommended for an escape from the city!
