Independent in Matakohe from NZ$121

"Great place in a fantastic spot. Highly recommend. Thanks Margie!"

"First, let me say that the place was awesome (I did give it 5 stars). I did however make a mistake regarding location. Mareen gave me accurate directions immediately when I booked, I saw I had a message through VRBO (I don't have the app), and I promptly ignored it.When it was time to drive to the place, I couldn't find directions (don't get ahead of the story folks). I messaged her once through email, and once through VRBO, and she responded twice!... through VRBO... Once I got to where I had data again, I saw I had a message in VRBO, and the directions were there thrice, hint hint, the first one I got was after immediately booking it.The map on the property details are inaccurate, however, if it was accurate, it would basically dox her, so I understand why it is that way. (Or it would be such a large area as to be unhelpful to those looking to book).This location is remote, no Wi-Fi, but there are plugs for electrical devices. A nice complement of tea and coffee options.I highly recommend that if you are a city folk like myself, get to the property for the first time before dark! It is a solid 10 minutes of gravel roads before you get there. I've done my fair share of off-roading so it was not a big deal to me, but my wife flat out refused to drive it.TLDR: Place is beautiful and remote. Would rebook."

"Great location. Great communication. Everything we needed!"

"We stayed here 5 years ago and bought our kids back last weekend. They're older now (and there's an extra one) yet still the magic of this property was so special. The joy that they had here - all the little touches and treats. It was so cool. Plus we loved the chance to unplug, the birdsong and serenity. It was a stunning break! Thank you for having us :)"

"We really enjoyed our stay at this quaint little cottage. Stunning views of Bream Bay and a nice outlook overall. We are definitely keen to come back to stay. Thank you!"

"The property was easy to find with accurate directions from Anita.It is fully self contained, tho we found, despite there being tea and coffee facilities, there was no milk provided. Maybe just an oversight,"

"Bach was amazing, clean and accurately described. Host has great communication and friendly. Great quiet get away. Highly recommend this bach."

"Great outlook across Bream Bay, short walk to beach, shop and restaurant. Love it here (repeat offender). Thanks Debbie!"

"Awesome off-grid and off-rat-race break for us. Nicely furnished and cool, unique concept. Private with lovely rural outlook "
