Fantastic peaceful stay with a magical waterfall view. Highly recommend
had a wonderful time staying with my partner here. view of the waterfall was lovely, and being able to hear it all the time was relaxing. just a short drive to matakana village too.
The Waterfall hideaway is a very quiet, peaceful and relaxing space to stay.
We had everything we needed, and found it to be a warm and comfortable place.
Such a great place if you love waking up with natural waterfall sound, birds chirping and freshly wind from little forest in backyard. Will visit again very soon.
Had a wonderful time here.
Lovely cosy warm location. Waterfall was magical. Was such a lovely peaceful and private spot. Accommodation had everything we needed including the coffee machine.
Would definitely stay again.
What a lovely and quiet hidden gem. We stayed for an evening and it was a perfect getaway. Being able to fall asleep to the sound of the waterfall was amazing.
The property was clean and had everything we needed for our short stay.
Would definitely book again.
The sound and sight of the waterfall provide a relaxing backdrop to this comfortable, well appointed bach. It's secluded but within easy reach of town and tourist facilities. We loved our short stay.
Even better than described! Such a sweet and
eclectic space to relax and enjoy after a day at the beach or wine tasting. Especially loved falling asleep to the sound of the nearby waterfall. Thank you for sharing this special space:)
Wonderful way to end our week in the north island
Sat after check in watching and listening to the waterfall. A quiet time to have before a hectic following week.
We had such a wonderful experience at The Waterfall Hideaway. It was clean, comfortable and the communication was excellent. I was truely blown away by the waterfall and it made the experience magical! Will definitely recommend to friends and family!
Beautiful decor, serene and relaxing environment. Had a little mishap but was handled by Kim who was very kind and forgiving. Lots of interesting books there to read and Matakana itself is a wonderful place to shop and look around.
As always, an entirely relaxing, peaceful hideaway.
A quaint, rustic 'çottage' - well separated from the owner's home, with an idyllic view of a waterfall and forest.
Left to ourselves (just how we like it) but only 2 minutes drive from the Matakana township.
Beautiful experience, absolutely stunning hidden little Gem! It wont disapoint! Loved my stay, will happily stay again. Thank you for sharing your beautiful space with the world.
