Detailed Reviews
We stayed here as a stop over before Auckland, and cannot fault this place. The hosts are very kind and friendly. There is the option to dine in their restaurant for dinner, which we did not, but it looked nice. The room was spacious, but the wifi was a bit patchy, but perhaps cause we were in the room furthest from the front room. We had a free inclusive breakfast of tea/filter coffee, eggs, and bacon. I recommend staying here if you’re in the area.

Tidy, clean, modern rooms and bathrooms (we booked 2 rooms) with access to the balcony and great views outside. Very comfortable beds. Peaceful location for great sleep. Tea/coffee facilities and shared sitting room available if wanted. Very nice!
Very conveniently located next door to the Kauri Museum that we visited. A 5 min drive or short walk down to Old Matakohe Warf, which is incredibly peaceful and beautiful - especially at sunset.
Supper was delicious. Steak perfectly cooked. Pinot Gris from the South Island was divine. The view from restaurant across the water to the rolling hills on the other side was so nice. Bacon and scrambled eggs breakfast was also great.

We were there for one night, had dinner and breakfast. The steak at dinner was cooked by the owner, what a Great streak that was!! They knew we were from the Netherlands, so she had het dutch Apron on… Also the breakfast was perfect, and very cosy. We were the only ones at the moment and had a really great chat with the owners. The seroundings were also very beautigull.

We were staying at the Matakohe camp ground with friends and noticed that Matakohe House had a sign out saying “licensed cafe and bar” so on Saturday late morning all walked there for something to eat and drink. We approached the house from the lawns at the front and the owner yelled from the veranda “You can f*#k off with those dogs this is private property “. We were stunned to say the least at both the language and the reception!
We moved away but my partner approached and asked if the bar and cafe was open and was very rudely told “No!”
Not exactly the friendly hospitable reaction one expects from someone in hospitality. Needless to say will never stay there and will give it a wide berth. It does make for an amusing “dining with friends” story though.

I stayed with my mother and sister for 3 nights last week. The service we received was excellent, and nothing was too much of a hassle for Jackie who is a wonderful host. We had a cooked breakfast each morning, and dinner there on two of the three evenings. We were the only ones there and enjoyed the lounge, Tea making facilities, and the TV. Wil definitely stay again.

Lyn and Alex were the perfect 'genial hosts'. Accommodation excellent with dinner and breakfast to match. Very good value and highly recommended. You really don't deserve complimentary port and chocolates at this price!

What a great find this gem of a B & B was ... we fell upon it by chance as we were visiting the Kauri Museum next door.
Our host, Jackie, was wonderful and was very hospitable and willing to go the "extra yard" immediately. She had only taken over ownership very recently, so some things weren't open yet.
However, she accommodated us in every way possible.
The room was outstanding ... spacious, comfortable and very hard to leave!
We could not rate this venue highly enough!!! Outstanding only comes close!

We had stayed at this beautiful place a month ago. The service we received was Top Notch, with Jackie and Daniel being wonderful hosts. The food was amazing (Fuhgeddaboudit), the bedroom was outstanding with very comfortable beds. Their pets were a delight to be around with, especially the cat and Ford, the Houdini goat, that would escape his quarters to go mingle with some friends down the road.
You'd love this place, NO DOUBT!!!.

New owners Jackie and Daniel were friendly and welcoming. Our room was spacious and we enjoyed the quiet pastoral ambiance. The hosts prepared an optional evening meal for us which was a decent enough steak. Skip the dessert, which was an additional cost, although this was not made clear to us when we ordered. We wish the new owners much success . Probably the only reason to be in Matakohe is to visit the amazing Kauri Museum.

New owner Jackie is putting her personal stamp on the place already. Set in pretty surroundings, this place has all you need, with the added bonus of a home-cooking café that does breakfast for guests (and dinner on request) and is open to the public in season. So we had all we needed, including a pantry for tea and coffee making. The spacious rooms have their own bathroom and lounge area. The location next to the Museum is a bonus in this part of Northland, with not many choices nearby. Jackie was so friendly and helpful - she deserves to do well.
