A great house in a fabulous location - ideal for a bigger family get together. There were only 3 of us staying so we loved having the extra space - there are two living areas which means you can spread out. The house was spotlessly clean (something I’m always concerned about with self catering) but no worries here - I’d love the cleaner to come to my house! The games room and the spa were extra treats as was the beach gear for making sandcastles. Matakana town was delightful, lovely places to eat and shop and plenty of attractions nearby to enjoy. I’m only sorry that the timing of our visit meant we missed out on the markets - oh well, we shall just have to come back! The host was extremely helpful with lots of local tips and a comprehensive guide inside the house. Highly recommended.
