Matakana Waterfall Hideaway

The location was good, lovely outlook to waterfall. The apartment was spacious and quiet, decor was retro, bathroom clean and modern. Host responded quickly when a request was made. TV was good.

Kitchen was a bit awkward with finding a place and outlet for the portable hotplate (perhaps upgrade to an induction hot plate with a new set of cookware). Finding free outlets for phone charging was also tricky, but doable.

Four nights in this peaceful tranquil setting was not enough for me. The hideaway is cozy, well presented and had everything I needed. Listening to the waterfall day and night was so calming. The location is great with many great restaurants close by and the Saturday Farmers Market is a must visit. Communication from the hosts was excellent. I'll definitely be back in the summer.

There was nothing I didn't not like. No complaints.

Everything The location was perfection The accommodation was great, so comfortable, lots of character. We will definitely be coming back

The main highlight for me was the waterfall outside of our cabin. It was so peaceful and beautiful, one of the best sleeps I've had listening to the waterfall. Close to the main township. I had the mattress on the floor, but seriously, so comfortable and a great night's sleep.

nothing about this accommodation I did not like

Beautiful scenic place to stay, perfect setting. Loved the retro vibe to place, added to the relaxing, refreshing element I was wanting and needing.. Such a great place to stay to get away from the crazy paced world. Thanks so much for an opportunity to stay in what felt like a replenishing private retreat location.

Cosy art deco accom and a waterfall 👍. Grapes in the fridge. Private and great host.

The Hideaway is a lovely secluded location with a nice view of the waterfall and the soothing sound of running water. The cottage was very comfortable with all the facilities a couple would need for a short stay. I am happy to recommend Matakana Waterfall Hideaway to other travellers.

The property met all our needs.

It’s such a unique stay with the stunning view out over the bush and waterfall. The decor is prefect. There is everything you need. And you are giving a lot of privacy. I stayed with my Mum, but it would be perfect for a romantic getaway. The way the whole room opens up and you can hear the rushing of the water is so special.

Most amazing to have the waterfall just below the accommodation. So you can sit out and enjoy the view and the sounds. Accommodation is comfortable and has all you need .

Such an amazing magical setting. Sitting area above the flowing waterfalls was relaxing and mesmerizing. The entire feel of the place was extremely comfortable and inviting. Loved it, Loved it. Loved it. Our only regret was not being able to stay longer to read the eclectic collection of books.

It was all wonderful

The setting with view of the waterfall & bush is amazing.

Wish we could have stayed longer.

Wonderful view of the waterfall, love the room aesthetic and the comedic property information.

Nothing, this place is excellent 👌

The views were stunning and you could only hear the waterfall and the birds. The room was beautifully designed, spacious, and had everything we needed. Super comfortable bed too

Tranquil setting & so very close to Matakana

Mozzies but that's expected in nature!

Very fun room with private view of waterfall and rain forest area

The owners where a lovely couple. The property was quite retro and quirky which we liked

The lounging chairs werent that comfortable and in some places it was a bit dusty.

Amazing place, did not want to leave! Private and cosy and loved the walk down to the waterfall. Lovely hosts that left us to ourselves as well. Will return in the future we think 😁

The only thing that we can think of is the wifi availability. Even tho a password is provided and you can see the network name, the signal strength is almost 0 from the hosts home next door so we had no internet connection for our stay. Maybe a wifi booster would help? We didn't really need the connection but future guests might so just a suggestion 😊

What a stunning, private getaway this is! The most comfortable, snuggly bed, a welcoming & beautifully decorated space, tidy and practical with all you need. The sound of the waterfall just out the door, (can just be seen from bed) is a magical background to a relaxing stay. Just out of Matakana, with plenty of activities and hospitality venues. Will absolutely be returning. Thank you.

There is a hot plate and a microwave, but with such great hospitality close by, basic cooking facilities was not an issue.

Lovely secluded place to relax

Lovely peaceful property in a good area. Had a good sleep in a comfy bed. Rustic, homely and very cozy.

I could hear the rain splattering outside as there is a gap under the front door. Maybe a new blind/curtain needed for the front door too?

It had its quirks which we thought added to the place. Waterfall was amazing, slept very well, Great hosts, Would definetly stay again and recommend to friends and family

Nothing that we could see

Great little place. Lovely location, with a little garden haven at the rear of the property, great to wile away a few hours with a glass of wine & close to Matakana.

The views out back to the waterfall and trees were just spectacular Also loved the mid century retro vibe and spaciousness of the studio

Zilch

It was absolutely beautiful and relaxing just what we needed. A time away from the hustle. Beautiful and clean. A really nice feel to the place. Nice and private. Really good communication. Thank you we will recommend and come back again.

Quirky old world charm. Loved the lamps and the bed was really comfy

Perfect location and accommodation

We loved the secluded location - just off the main road and close to Matakana but you’d never know it was there! The waterfall is beautiful - sitting outside with the sound of the water and the cicadas is special. This is a very foodie area - don’t miss food and drinks at the Sawmill Brewery or the best ice cream ever at Charlie’s gelato.

Being able to disconnect from busy life in a private little sanctuary overlooking a waterfall, the sound of birds and cicadas in our ears, native trees swaying in the wind. It's our all-time favorite spot.

That we had to go home!

A lovely little escape for 2, ideal to relax and take in the bush and waterfall scene!

Absolutely amazing location, very reasonable price, have already recommended to multiple friends! So peaceful and lovely.

Beautiful private hideaway overlooking the waterfall.

Shower needs attention

A gem of a find. Peaceful and tranquil. The sound of the waterfall and birds, it was magical.

I like the private view of the waterfall, great facilities inside and the place being clean.😊

No sign by the road

Stunning location opening up the doors to listen to the sounds of nature outside, the birds and the waterfall. Nice being close to Matakana while still out of it.

We enjoyed our stay very much, and we were absolutely blown away by this hidden gem. The waterfall and surrounding forest blessed us with amazing views and beautiful sounds of nature. Everything was perfect and private. Comfortable bed and clean facilities. Loved listening to the sound of the waterfall and birds tweating in the treetops. Excellent location near your local village and easy to get to and from surrounding beaches. My photos will not do this beautiful place the justice it deserves..A must see & experience! Thank you so much Kim for being a great host and for sharing this slice of heaven with us 😊

A magical spot! Small but super cosy with the most beautiful views.

Beautiful place absolute loved it!

View of waterfall fantastic. Peaceful relaxing setting with retro furnishings. Didn’t think this place could get any better but the little retro shop is fantastic.

Very comfortable and clean. Kim and Isaac were amazing. Gave us our privacy. The bonus was buying fabulous stuff from their Retro shop. Delighted. Will definitely book again

It was perfect

Serene,view of waterfall,quiet, excelllent decor, books, magazines. Just a brilliant place.

What’s not to like.

I loved waking up to that view

Nothing

Lovely home, simple yet super comfortable. Place is away from any noise, perfect getaway fr family or couple. And the view to waterfall a unique experience! House fully equipped with the amenities as well. We loved it!

All good

I have never rated an accomodation 10/10before …..because it is not possible ( I thought ) If you enjoy well curated accomodation, sleeping to the sound of the waterfall, great views and a quiet but central location …. I recommend Matakana Waterfall Hideaway

Unforgettable view and ambience from surrounding forest and nearby waterfall. Perfectly positioned for accesibility to Matakana, Warkworth, and a nearby supermarket. Room was comfortable and we were well provided for with many great amenities in the room. Highly reccomend.
