Matapouri beach is a long stretch of sand with clear turquoise water. Walk along the beach to the end then into the water to walk around a rocky outcropping to reach the last bit of beach. From there it’s a 20 minute walk up and over a hill to reach the Mermaid Pools. Deep blue tide pools that you can swim in, worth the extra work to get there.

"Fantastic comms with the host from the outset and a lovely place to be based. Perfect to have a fully fenced yard for our dog and to be able to put kayaks in the estuary just metres from the gate. Property is clean and well equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. "

"Loved our stay at the bach- perfect for us as a young family!"

Beach nearby, sun loungers, beach towels

"Had everything we needed, maybe a washing machine would be good"

"It was a great space for our family, the fire was very cosy and heated up the house very quickly. we loved our stay there, thank you."

"A really cool place to stay and relax. "

"The third 3 day stay of a 9 day holiday. The bach/chalet was well appointed, to a high standard, and suitable for couples. Set down a small track it is in a quiet location and is a good base to explore Whangarei heads and the adjacent coast. A pleasant and comfortable place for a long weekend."

"Lovely bach, excellent location. Would love to make a suggestion to have some pedestal fans available to use at night for sleeping, it’s such a nice warm bach but unbearable for sleep…….we wished we’d brought our own fans. Also Bachcare sent us the wrong lockbox code but we’re lucky they answered the phone with the first call and rectified the problem. Thankyou to the owners for renting out their home so people like us can have a summer holiday at the best location!!"

"Peaceful haven with wonderful views. We loved exploring and our trip to Poor Knights Islands from Tutukaka was spectacular. "

"Overall very good"

"Fabulous- Kath and Kevin were delightful- everything was great- so friendly. All good"

"Easy and fast communication and details on getting to Tahi and all the site instructions provided. Lesley was so welcoming and helpful for questions we had upon arrival and during our stay."

Executive Cottage, 2 Bedrooms | Garden view

"The cottage was extremely clean and tidy, and very well appointed. Little things, like extra tea towels and toilet paper in the drawers, really made it feel like a home away from home. There was a small amount of road noise during the day, but the landscaping made any traffic invisible. It was so nice to sit in the sun, surrounded by garden. An oasis in our busy week! "
