We had a lovely stay at Hurstmere Cottage, close enough to Matakana, but a world away, very private and quiet spot with your own driveway. The cottage is currently being upgraded and it definitely has potential, but for now it's a nice cottage to stay it, also with kids or sharing with friends. Steve and Carla are very friendly hosts. They also have 2 horses on site and our kids loved to go and visit them. There is wifi at the cottage and the hosts close by if you need anything. All in all a we had a wonderful and memorable Easter weekend In Matakana.
