Wow - what a fabulous wee house! A home away from home, the Matchbox has everything one could want for a short stay - in our case, a quick getaway to New Plymouth for New Years Eve.

Nat and Zar were away for the first night, but their great communication via Airbnb made finding the location super easy, and the self check-in process a breeze.

We loved the fact that our stay felt a little like a cross between 'glamping' (the spot makes you feel worlds away, despite being 5 mins from the CBD) and a gorgeous cabin in the bush! The location was perfect, as we could easily walk or drive to a bunch of wonderful views and activities, eateries and nightlife spots.

And that bed... so comfortable!

Would highly recommend a stay in the Matchbox for singles or couples wanting a short break away, adventurers wanting to explore Taranaki, and to people on business in the area, needing affordable accomodation but after a peaceful and unique place to stay.

Thanks again ladies - we had a fabulous time :)
