    “We stayed at the cabin a couple of weeks ago with our 2 year old toddler and we loved our stay.”

    The cabin is located close to the owners home but aside from that is extremely private with amazing views. The location is within 30 minutes (or less) drive of Goat Island, Omaha, Matakana, Tawharanui. The cabin is very cosy, has lots of outdoor furniture, good kitchen facilities and a great BBQ. The host was very friendly and helpful. We are planning to stay there again in the future!

About the location

Tāwharanui Peninsula, located just over an hour's drive from Auckland, offers a secluded paradise on the Matakana Coast, known for its stunning beaches and exceptional surf. This remote peninsula, home to Tāwharanui Regional Park, boasts some of the most beautiful pearly-white sand beaches, rolling pastures, and native coastal forests in the region. Whether you’re catching waves, snorkeling in the marine reserve, or exploring the park’s walking tracks like the scenic 7km Māori Bay Coast Walk, there’s no shortage of natural beauty to enjoy. Tāwharanui Regional Park is New Zealand’s first integrated open sanctuary, where conservation, farming, and recreation coexist. Protected by a predator-proof fence, the park is alive with native birdsong from species like tui, kaka, and North Island robins. It’s also one of the few places where you can spot North Island brown kiwi and endangered takahē in the wild. Visitors can choose from five walking trails, or take to the coastal paths on a mountain bike for panoramic views of the ocean and islands. The park’s quiet, pohutukawa-lined beaches are perfect for a laid-back day of picnicking, boogie boarding, or rock pool exploring at low tide. The clear waters of Tāwharanui Marine Reserve also make it a great spot for diving and snorkeling. At night, the starry skies are breathtaking, and for a truly unique experience, you can book a kiwi-spotting tour for an up-close encounter with New Zealand’s national bird. Just 15 minutes from Matakana, known for its boutique shops, wineries, and vibrant farmers' market, Tāwharanui offers a peaceful escape without feeling too far from civilization. All of our Tawharanui Peninsula holiday homes are pre-inspected and ready for instant online booking, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable getaway.
