We had an excellent experience at Mataia Homestead. A spacious and beautiful historic home set in a wonderful big garden. The children/teens loved exploring and playing outside whilst the adults enjoyed relaxing on the sunny deck. Highly recommend for a rural retreat!

This historical farm is a very nice place to stay. It was maintained well and the owners did an amazing job in preserving and presenting its history. My only recommendation is to better clean the not-obvious-places,. such as under the door rails - we had my toddler with us and she was very interested in those areas, which meant we couldn't let her run free in the house for pretty much the entire travel.

This is the second time we've stayed here. We loved it so much the first time we had to go back for more. Approaching the house for the second time we were overwhelmed by its beauty. The garden was more beautiful than last time and the homestead has been freshly painted and gorgeously decorated. We had a magical stay for 5 nights.

lovely place for group of friends good living areas and lovely fire excellent walks on property and great introduction by owners

We had the most amazing stay at this property - I got ready for my wedding here and the house and gardens are stunning! Jenny is lovely and the house is very well equipped!

The mataia homestead was a great place for us to stay as a family to attend a wedding in Kumeu, the house was just what we needed and had everything available to us. I would highly recommend this house as accommodation when looking for home stays in this area.

The first impression upon arriving was ... wow. The property looked stunning - the gardens were beautiful in summer, and the property had a good mix of up to date furniture, plus a touch of historical decor. It was amazing to see the wealth of information available on the family that has owned this property for 7 generations. The communication with Jenny the property owner beforehand was quick, responsive and friendly - we were also very impressed by the comfort of the property and the facilities provided i.e. kitchen utensils, equipment etc. The garden was also very useful, and the multiple outdoor seating areas was very valuable. Our team had lots of fun, and really valued the quiet, relaxed and refreshing atmosphere - it was a nice break from the city.

We really enjoyed rural situation.

A big thank you to Jenny and her family for an amazing week. A stunning home and location.

This extensively renovated 100 year old homestead was perfect for our extended family visit. It accommodated 11 without seeming over crowded. The house was beautifully dressed and scrupulously clean with very nice toiletries, a well equipped kitchen and gorgeous gardens. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this property.

House was absolutely beautiful.

The Mataia homestead is a wonderful experience, the house is an absolute gem with historic charm, the gardens are lovely, and the setting is idylic. A supurb place to have our family gathering.

6 past their prime male moaners choose a place to meet every few months in different parts of the country. This was easily the most well appointed delightful place we have hired to date. House is totally self contained and lovely. The grounds had an envious rural member waxing lyrical as were we all. Highly recommended

A great time had by all. 9 of us in total

Wonderful country break for friends to catch up. Beautiful walks, gorgeous garden and for foodies , the kitchen is setup with absolutely everything you need , including a “ honesty box “ pantry of some yummy homemade delicacies .you can buy . We will be back , we felt special .

Always a pleasure returning to the homestead. Lots of history, space for everyone, very clean, everything you need for a pleasurable stay. Excellent communication with Jenny. Thank you, we will see you next year. Thank you Jenny and family 😊�

Excellent stay. Very well kept historic homestead and garden.

Always a pleasure, we come to mataia about once a year with friends and family and we always have a relaxing time. The house is better and better every time, the hosts are lovely to deal with :)

Wow - what a fantastic place. Loved it and we were there in the middle of a storm! A home of character and charm set on a wonderful farm. Heard the kiwis at night and loved the gardens and orchard. We didn't have time to explore the walks but did do some walking closeby in very heavy rain and just enjoyed the history and scenery. A great place and will certainly go again sometime! Thanks

Exceeded our expectations. Wonderful place to stay and the bountiful vegetable garden and fresh eggs a delightful bonus. Our city kids now want chickens! Made to feel utterly welcome. Hope to return.

Very comfortable stay with friends. Well cared for garden to wander around. The kitchen is well equiped.

Beautiful property! We had an amazing stay and loved our time here. Has everything you need and the house itself and gardens are very well looked after. Would love to come back. So close to Auckland but you feel like you're far away. Thank you!

Mataia Homestead is an absolute treasure. This rural property is large, comfortable and immaculately clean. Our party of 8 had the best weekend away. Fairy-tale bedrooms, plenty of communal space and a fully equipped kitchen. Huge decks and a beautiful garden.
