The space

Conveniently situated on the road heading to Leigh from the Matakana township, this fully renovated kiwi bach with a large new north facing deck is a great location perfect for family holiday accommodation, overseas guest accommodation, special occasions, weekday retreats and weekend getaways.

It is a large property by the creek, sunny and sheltered from the prevailing wind. Bordered by a council reserve which only you have access to.

7 minutes from Matakana market and 7 minutes from Goat island marine reserve.

- This bach backs onto a tidal estuary and Coxhead creek and is across the road from the idyllic Whangateau Harbour.

- Only minutes from beaches, eateries, vineyards, Matakana township and family friendly activities.

- Nice flow to deck for enjoyment and hosting.

Conveniently situated on the main road heading east from the Matakana township toward Mathesons Bay, Leigh, Goat Island Marine Reserve and Pakiri, this fully renovated kiwi bach is perfect for family holiday accommodation, overseas guest accommodation, special occasions, weekday retreats and weekend getaways.

Located just one hour north of Auckland City, the bach has three bedrooms, one bathroom, open plan living/kitchen/dining and some great outdoor living areas including a north facing deck that spills out onto the front lawn. The estuary flows under a small bridge through to Whangateau Harbour across the road which can be accessed by kayak (And yes there is 2x kayaks available for use under the deck including life jackets).

The 3 bedrooms have new queen sized beds plus three spare mattresses which can go on the floor.

Take this great opportunity to get north of Auckland to one of New Zealand's best most accessible holiday spots.
