A fantastic stay at Matapouri! The house is honestly perfect for a getaway. It was just my fiancé and I, but you could comfortably have 8 people stay. The location and view is spectacular, the pool table is full size (!), the kitchen really well equipped, and everything else was clean, tidy and comfortable. A few steps to the beach and a short walk to the shop. We didn't end up using the kayaks, but the bay would be perfect for them. Matapouri and Jan's family getaway are now my favorite hidden gem in New Zealand.
