  • 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.

Loved our time at Downtime Cottage

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cottage and sleep out were super clean and tidy, excellent amenities and good location. Everything was well presented, and had everything we needed. Loved sitting out on the deck for our meals Highly recommend Downtime Cottage, and we will be back.

Wonderful stay!

My daughters and I had a fantastic stay here! The cottage is gorgeous and everything clean and well organised. The sleepout was great and had a ceiling fan to keep it cool. Great location on a hill between matapouri and tutukaka.
