On New Zealand’s North Island lies the beautiful little seaside town of Matarangi. The town is relatively small with a permanent population of under 400 people, but the area is a popular summer holiday destination. Here, people spend their mornings on the beach or at the local golf course. The area around the town has historic significance, but it was until the 1980s that people started to build the community as a waterfront resort town, complete with beachfront homes, shopping centers, and professionally designed golf courses. Spend your next holiday on the beach and check out these top Airbnb vacation rentals in Matarangi, New Zealand.
