Jackie and Daniel are very friendly people who manage to make your stay feel like home. We arrived unexpected. Didn't book in advance which is a bit tricky. Because you have the chance of no vacancy. But most of the times it ends up in marvelous stays. Like now in Matahoke House. The hospitality of Jackie and Daniel deserves a golden medal. I think when we arrived, the kitchen was closed already. But especially for us they made the time to cook a lovely meal. Jackie let us try a piece of her own baked cakes. DELICIOUS!! The rooms in Matakohe House are spacious. Nice decorated and clean. And breakfast in the Gumdiggers café in opposite is also great. Thanks again for letting us stay in your wonderful B&B
We were the only guests at this large and very comfortable guest house on the night we stayed. We enjoyed the use of the sitting room with tea and coffee making facilities, and a fridge, and our lage room at the rear had a lovely view of the surrounding countryside. We were made very welcome by Jackie and enjoyed a delicious cooked breakfast at her cafe across the road the next morning.
When my wife and I were returning to Aukland from the far North, we decided to break up the long trip by stopping Opononi one night and Matakohe the following night. The Matakohe House was perfect for us. The room was spacious, very clean and faced a magnificent rolling countryside. The proprietors were very welcoming - there was small decanter of sherry to enjoy the scenery with. The breakfast that came with the room was served at the nearby cafe and was a hearty eggs, bacon and toast. If you crave rural peace and quiet, the Matakohe House is highly recommended. Matakohe is quite small and mostly consists of an art gallery, a Kauri museum and a cafe. However, there is a pub within a 10-15 minute drive that serves a very good dinner.
Absolutely delightful place to stay. Well worth a visit. Food is awesome and the hosts are just so welcoming ,friendly and a delight to be around. Even the cat is lovely. 10/10 from us. Thank you so much
Spent hours visiting the Kauri Museum and decided to find accommodations nearby. This b+b was a very short distance. Elegant, clean, quiet and welcoming. The next morning treated to a gourmet breakfast served by the owners. Would return in a heartbeat, but there was more to see in the Dargaville area. This is a hidden gem.
