Wedding accomodation for Grandparents
Our son recently got married at Matakana's Stables wedding venue and we needed some extra accomodation for my elderly parents for two nights. After accidentily booking for the wrong month, Susan responded immediately to my SOS and moved my booking withoutr hesitation. The studio was perfect for our needs. It was clean and very well appointed, with a lovely private courtyard if you wanted to relax outside. The only comment from my parents was they would have loved a TV., Otherwise, a great little spot for a quiet get away. Happily recommend.

Lovely Getaway Accomodation
Beautiful, quiet, private getaway with all the amenities available. Very welcoming and our communication was fantastic. The little house was very private and quiet and very comfortable. A great place to relax after a fun full day of adventuring. I would absolutely recommend staying here and will be heading back next summer and for longer.

Perfect getaway
We had a very nice time. Susan was a wonderful host and the property was all that was promised. A perfect get away for a busy couple . If there was one complaint it was the WiFi was a bit in and out while we tried to watch the tennis but that was all . Other than that perfect. Many thanks Susan we will be back.
