Vacation rentals with a fire pit in Matakana

A stunning property right on the waterfront with amazing views and direct access to the water. Francesca was very responsive, quickly responding to a couple of minor requests and was very easy to deal with, arranging a cot and kindly left us welcome treats. A perfect getaway on the beachfront. Thanks again for having us!

The house was comfortable and clean- just like the pictures. Sarah's instructions answered all our questions, and we had everything we needed for a lovely stay. Thanks again!

It was a great stay and the hosts were very friendly and helpful to make sure we had everything we needed. Despite a couple of widespread power outages, the hosts still made sure our stay was as undisturbed as possible. And made sure we had power and a warm stay through bad weather. And they even offered for us to move or cancel before hand knowing the weather and the risks that we due.

We really enjoyed our stay . Location felt really private and away from main roads . Location was great only two stops on the bus from the wharf . Having the car available was amazing , made travel around the island so easy .

Absolutely beautiful house, we had a great stay at Fiona's place! It's a great location too, it was lovely being able to walk down to the beach. Everything is as listed and looks like the photos, would definitely recommend to other guests.

We had a fantastic stay at the Mangawhai Trap House! The home was clean, well-equipped, and comfortable. We especially enjoyed baking marshmallows and pizza in the outdoor pizza grill. It was such a fun experience for the whole family. The kids already miss the place! Everything was smooth and easy, and we’d definitely love to come back. Thanks so much for having us!

Really good place to stay with attentive and responsive hosts. Location is great being 2 minutes from the beach. Served us really well as we found our feet in the area having recently moved here.

My friends and I loved staying here! Such a lovely, tidy and cozy place. We are grateful for the incredible communication and clear instructions with how to get there.

A welcome place to stay. It was very warm and comfortable with a homely atmosphere. It was wonderful to find unexpected extras; home baking, bowls of fruit etc.

Very private and comfortable, the spa was a lovely bonus. Hosts were very responsive and the stay was enjoyable and easy. 10/10 would recommend.

Perfect overnight girls getaway. Was well appointed and exactly as expected. Great spot to chill out and base yourself from. Awesome communication and location easy to find and good location to get good food and coffee.

If we could give Vanessa's place a 6 stars instead of 5 stars, we would. Having renting many airbnbs recent as we holiday in Australia and New Zealand, I would consider Vanessa a top superhost. We stayed for a month. She was responsive and very accommodating. The house is beautifully designed architecturally, and has been furnished with taste and love. The sun streaming in from about 10 am til afternoon made place lovely and warm. The view from the dining area out to the garden made us feel at peace. We were able to pick various herbs and lemons from the garden for our cooking! The kitchen felt like a chef's kitchen and had everything one could think of or need. This is certainly our top Airbnb todate, we would love to come back again !Thanks again Vanessa for letting us stay in our beautiful home.

Fabulous host - clean apartment and very well stocked

Peter’s AirBNB is gorgeous and well stocked. He was friendly, responsive, and on premise much of our stay (which is a private section of his home), but also great about giving us privacy. We especially enjoyed the pool and charming garden spaces - as well as the breakfast food and tea/coffee provided. A few notes that weren’t fully clear to me before arriving: >Washer is on site but generally not for guest use (though we got the OK to do a couple loads when we asked) > There is no living room or indoor common area of the Airbnb space. > There are gorgeous outdoor spaces with shade covering to enjoy for meals at home - but only bedroom/hallway space available indoors for “hang out space” > The Rotary walk area is easily accessible from this space - and the views are even better than the pictures :)

Would highly recommended any one to stay here , they were easy to deal with, great comfortable and clean . Ali the owner was very helpful and friendly, highly recommended.

Our stay at Tui & Nikau was beautiful. The place is so serene, private, and peaceful, and the accommodation had everything we needed and more. The hosts were super helpful and made the whole experience seamless. Highly recommend!

We found a place our entire family enjoyed, we loved all the activities, the set up and the peacefulness. We plan to be back!

Beautiful surroundings, great accommodation and very friendly host. They provided some nice little extras, heated towels and farm fresh eggs for breakfast (available when the chickens cooperate).

Perfect getaway from our busy city lifestyle. Absolutely stunning finishes, clean and peaceful. Would 100% go back.

Bia and Brett provided us with a lovely stay. Proactive communication. It had everything we needed. Great price. Enjoyed a little sunset walk visiting the farm animals.

Thank you Linda for a beautiful stay, the space was perfect! Linda was friendly, helpful & a great host, allowing us to arrive early on short notice & kindly offering a few extra hours on our last day. We enjoyed the stay very much w the serene private backyard & outdoor bath. Great access to the township & local pub just a stroll out the backgate! Highly recommend!

This place was just amazing! It had so much going for it! And the view is even nicer in person. Sharyn is an awesome host and her love for their alpacas and wanting her guests to enjoy them as well is just fantastic 👏 😀 Definitely get the pizzas when you stay here!! Sharyns home made bases and sauces were very very good and the toppings were all ready to use making it a super quick and easy dinner. The bed was really comfy and the shower was amazing!!! thanks again Sharyn and Greg
