Breathtaking Views from Mt Maunganui - Matakana, rustic and private country home

Drive through a vista of ferns, over a small water ford up a country drive way to a property with stunning views. Relax in the hot tub looking out to the harbour, don’t be surprised if a Tui, Kereru or a cheeky fantail swoop through from tree to tree. BBQ on the deck listening to the Morepork call or cook in the modern kitchen with truly breathtaking views. Swimming pool, Water features and privacy. The Homing Pigeons fly surveying the land ducking and diving and ‘Flint’, the Alpaca would love to be hand fed if you wish. Our fish pond out from the deck also homes 3 Axolotls, which can be seen when the sun goes down.

We have a very basic gym in the garage comprising of Rower, Weights, Kettle bells, Back Stretcher. (If you wish to use the Gym Exercycle, let us know and we will arrange it).

One of the owners is a professional artist and the home is filled with paintings from her own private collection. Upon request gallery will be open. You can have family or precious pets or just have a quiet getaway.

We are surrounded by bush walks, cycling tracks, beaches, cafes and restaurants. Endangered Kereru (Wood Pigion) Tuis, kingfisher, Parrots, while Pukeko and Pheasants wander the property.

Heaven on Earth
This was exactly what we hoped. Breathtaking views that made us wish we could stay longer. We had a short visit on our way to Australia, this was perfectly located for day trips to Rotorua / Te Puia and Hobitton along with a wine day at Waiheke. We would make the day long flights again to stay here!

Lovely rural bach
We really enjoyed staying at the bach, we thought it was even nicer than the photos. The children really enjoyed the hot tub and also hanging out with the animals, in particular the alpaca :-).

Wonderful stay
We really enjoyed staying at Yana and J’s home. It was beautiful from the art on the inside to the beautiful land on the outside. We really enjoyed our farm animal tour and the recommendation for finer wines. The hosts were lovely, friendly people. We highly recommend this relaxing retreat!
