Overview

Idyllic waterfront views as the sun comes up with your morning cup of coffee in hand - Does that sound like something you need this trip? Look no further than this simple Pakawau Bach. Welcome to Matai Cottage!

Tucked away amongst the surrounding native bush and right at the edge of the waters of Golden Bay, Matai Cottage is host to a picturesque backdrop ideal for a holiday away from the hustle and bustle. The living room, dining room and master bedroom all open out to the views, the sundeck and then down onto the waterfront lawn area.

Sleeping up to 6 guests, Matai Cottage is a great place to settle into with your family or group offering all the essentials including a BBQ for those classic kiwi summer dinners fresh off the grill and private access down to the water.

Take some time out to get away from it all or use this as a base to do some local exploring. Matai Cottage is positioned on Farewell Spit, which offers wonderful walks from the cliffs to Wharariki Beach and the walks in Kaharangi National Park.

A delightful Golden Bay escape awaits at Matai Cottage!

A lovely traditional, comfortable bach right on the beach, with plenty of birdlife to watch. Beautiful location where you can swim, fish and kayak without travelling anywhere. All your basic needs met in Collingwood, a 10 minute drive away. We had a great stay.

Wonderful few days in this iconic Kiwi Bach. Peaceful and quiet with the water so close for swimming at high tide. Loved being surrounded by tall Totara and Matai at the cottage.

Great traditional bach simple but had everything you needed. Lovely sitting watching the tide go in and out over the bay. Great to be able to borrow the kayaks and go for a wee paddle.

Great comfortable bach with everything you need and the setting is superb. Gannets were diving into the water in front of the bach and the tuis were constant in the garden. Great location.
