"The only issue I have is that the property asks you to write down your credit / debit card details on the registration card - it's ok to put it straight onto the PMS, but writing it down on a piece of paper goes against every single insurance policy the banks have. I've said this to them last year February - one-and-half years later, they still do it. This has stopped at hotels now over a decade ago. Get on with the times, it's time for an update."

"We had an absolutely wonderful weekend at Plume Villas in Matakana. From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect. The villa was beautiful, comfortable, clean and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The location is fantastic — peaceful and private, while still being close to everything Matakana has to offer. We especially loved the beautiful surroundings and the relaxed atmosphere. It was the perfect place to switch off, unwind and enjoy some quality time together. The whole experience exceeded our expectations, and we would happily stay here again. Thank you to the team at Plume Villas for such a fantastic stay. Highly recommended!"

"We did notice that the bed linen was pretty warn could be ungraded . Thankfully we did take extra blankets . The indoor fireplace was great to be around but we had to bring inside the outdoor furniture inside as lack of lounge chairs by the fire place Something that was disappointing was that the sleepout bed had been used and had sand etc in it the bed . We had to wash them . We did book the whole place with that room as we were a large group needing that room . The kitchen and bathrooms were very good"
