Matarangi is stunning and Clive and Hilary’s lovely holiday home was so very relaxing, with a stunning fireplace to top it off. This was July and the garden was fabulously sheltered and warm, with furniture perfectly built for reading. Ample hot water and a shower that worked well. A well stocked kitchen. Two toilets. Washing machine and drier. Clothesline. Did I mention the fireplace?
The sound of the sea pervades the house and lulled us to sleep. Matarangi’s long, gorgeous, sandy beach is a walker’s dream
come true and only a couple of hundred metres away down dedicated beach lanes.
Local shops had everything we needed (including firewood) and Luke’s pizza place was a frequent haunt. The walks close by are stunning - do not miss the walk up the hill and over to Rings Beach then back along the road (now closed to vehicles but safe for feet).
Stunning, short holiday. Thanks so much, Clive and Hillary.
