If you’d think about New Zealand, Matakana might not come to mind but this place is a treasure waiting to be discovered - the area has vineyards aplenty if you are thinking of going on a wine discovery and besides that, every drive down the roads of New Zealand presents you breathtaking views of this city. These apartments that are in Matakana are all nestled in areas that are tranquil and healing for the city dwellers in us, and once in a while we all yearn for that retreat where we bask in the warmth of the sunlight at the lawn of these apartments and when the weather gets chilly, host a barbeque party outside. Here is a list of the top Bookabach holiday homes in Matakana.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on March 13, 2023.

1. A house surrounded by greenery (from USD 99)

With Campbel’s beach that is 10-minutes away, it makes it a comfortable walk to the beach with pristine blue waters where you can spend an afternoon there, listening to the waves of the sea. This cottage provides a gas barbeque pit on the deck of the house and not far from the pit is the dining area which is surrounded by lush greenery. It is a perfect setting for a getaway from the city. The location of the cottage house is ideal as it’s near to many local attractions such as the Brick Bay sculpture trail, Tawharanui and to the farmers’ market as well.

6. Scandinavian feel that is simple yet classy (from USD 133)

With the minimalistic style of the interiors, the ambiance of this cottage is simple yet elegant. The walls of the bedrooms are in the color scheme that complements the theme of the house and makes the whole stay an invigorating one. It is only a comfortable walk to art galleries and the Matakana coast where plenty of seafood is in store for you. There is also a communal barbeque pit that is shared amongst the three cottages that are provided by the host. While this is a comfortable space for three, this area is ideal for a planned extended family vacation where families could occupy other cottages as well.
