Matarangi is a wonderful place to stay, the beach must be one of the best in NZ and we’ve seen a few over the years. It’s also a great community. Properties are well spread out with lots of green space, walkways and birds. The house is well located, a quick walk to the beautiful beach, and maybe twenty minutes walk to the shops. The place is well equipped and spacious ( we found it bigger than expected from the photos). Two internal bathrooms are bonus for bigger groups. Great outdoor space, dog friendly and the back garden dog proof. Wonderful deck that got all day sun. We spent a month here in June and enjoyed reading on the sun loungers in T-shirts. Any minor issue was quickly sorted out by the hosts. We would stay again.
