Line fishing from the rocks or surf casting from the sandy beach 3 minutes north.
A boating channel is 3 minutes north.
The Mataikona river has flounder and whitebait in season.
Under the swing bridge the water is shallow enough to wade in.
Great walks along the sandy beaches, stones and road.

The picture post card views of the ocean from most windows in the house and the deck are awesome,cargo ships and fishing trawlers pass by daily, there's lots of lawn (fully fenced) and the beach is a stone's throw from the gate.
The neighbours are rarely home and quiet.

Wonderful retreat

Fantastic stay down at Mataikona. The views of the ocean were spectacular to watch from the porch. Bach was well equipped, and I had no trouble staying warm, cooking, and keeping the place clean. Definitely would go back again one day.

Peaceful stay

If you're looking for peace and simplicity, this modest seaside bach is a gem. Nestled right by the water, the soothing sound of the waves is a constant companion. On clear evenings it is especially magical, perfect for stargazing, with nothing but the sea breeze and silence around you. The place is a little dated, but it has everything you need for a comfortable, no-fuss stay. Ideal for anyone wanting to unwind and reconnect with nature.
