Vanessa’s place was really comfortable and relaxing - lots of thoughtful touches like high quality bedding, toiletries, tissues in the lounge area, books and dvds. I hadn’t realised the bedroom was separate and that there was a sofa and DVD player with dvds, as well as a table and chairs on a private decked area - so a really great place to chill. Matakana is small but has high quality shops and eateries - and of course great beaches nearby. Tawharanui Marine Reserve is well worth a visit for walks and a swim in Anchor Bay (quiet, white sandy cove).
