This is a lovely house at a beautiful location in a wonderful area. It taught us how life is by the sea. Easy going and relaxed. Matarangi Beach is great, it is very safe to swim there and yet we had lots of fun in the waves. The beach is very close, less than five minutes by foot. We enjoyed using the body boards, the kayak, the fishing rod and grilling in the outdoor kitchen. This place is a good choice for discovering the Coromandel. Thanks to Clive and Hillary for being really nice and helpful hosts. (We didn't know what a bach is, but went to the Mercury Bay Museum in Whitianga and found out.)
