Loved our stay!

My partner and I loved staying here for a weekend getaway. It was clean, tidy and had modern comfortable furnishings. We also enjoyed a BBQ meal in the outdoor area, while watching the sunset over the beautiful and peaceful Matakana valley. And the outdoor bath was a magical star gazing experience!

Matakana Valley Barn.

A perfect location for a holiday stay. Wonderful hosts. You have got to go there just to try out Grandma's Feather Bed. We would be back there tomorrow if we could. Plenty of birdlife and nice gardens.

Very friendly hosts / Serene setting

Had a wonderful stay on our second visit in 4 years. The hosts were always available and helpful when needed, but also gave us our privacy. The unit was clean, airy and well appointed. The property is in a rural setting, very quiet, and only 2-3 kms from Matakana Village. We would stay again in a heartbeat. There are many things to do in the immediate area. This place was one of our favourite accommodations of the 13 spots we stayed on the North Island.

Fabulous place

We really loved our stay here. The outdoor bath was a particular treat. The bed was super comfy and the place was in a beautiful and peaceful location. The only suggestion I would make is some more good sharp knives, the kitchen was otherwise well stocked with basics. We would definitely stay here again.
