There are 2 barrels used as tables and stools, with string lights overhead and small ground lights illuminating the deck. Trees and a building are visible in the background.

The Space.

When you first enter the house, you’re welcomed into a beautiful, sun-splashed sunroom that’s cool and airy in summer and warm and cosy in winter. Full-width opening windows flood the space with natural light and create an easy indoor–outdoor feel.

The main house is tastefully decorated with modern furnishings and features a well-equipped kitchen that any cook will love. There are three comfortable bedrooms in the main house, along with a bathroom fitted with heated floors for those cooler evenings. Off the kitchen is a sunny laundry room.

From the laundry room is a covered back yard deck so you can barbeque and eat outside even in the rain. The outdoor heater will keep the area warm in the winter and the large dining table seats up 10 or more!

Just off the back deck is a self-contained sleep-out cabin, ideal for kids, extended family, or guests wanting a bit of extra space. The cabin includes a kitchenette with an air fryer, a bathroom and shower, a desk with art supplies, and a living area with a large sofa. Adjacent to this is a spacious bedroom with two queen-sized beds and its own small sun deck, making it a perfect retreat away from the main house.

Nearby, the spa deck features a six-person sauna, an ice bath and shower deck with a continuous ice-making machine, and a hot tub. For those not using the spa, there is also a bar counter where you can relax with a drink while others unwind. The entire spa deck lights up at night.

Next to the sleep-out is a gym space available for guest use. The outdoor gym is complimentary and includes a treadmill, SkiErg, leg extension machine (weight plates available at an additional cost), and a GHD - ideal for a quick workout or endurance session.

House has a driveway for parking, plus plenty of extra parking spaces across the street at the tennis courts. Bus stop is just down the street with service to Omaha, Matakana, and Warkworth. The cycle trails to Omaha and Matakana are also nearby.

Across the street are a newly renovated playground and tennis / basketball courts. The house comes with two tennis rackets, a bag of tennis balls and a basketball! Five minute walk away is a concrete boat ramp, bathroom facilities, and beach area for swimming and jumping.

Other things to note
If you would like to use just the spa and the cabin for a daytime experience, contact the host. Also, please note, this is not a party house and the max number of guests allowed at the house is 10. We have neighbors on either side and noise needs to be kept to a minimum after 10pm.

“We had the most amazing, relaxing weekend away. The house is beautiful and warm with the most comfortable beds. The sauna and spa make the stay feel like a retreat! Couldn’t recommend this place more :)”

“We absolutely loved our stay at Natasha’s! It was perfect for a group trip - especially having the sleep out and a large backyard for activities.
Natasha is lovely and super accommodating. Would 100% recommend staying at this gorgeous spot! Thank you so so much.”

“Great stay! Easy instructions for check in and out. Very handy location, general store 1 min walk from the house, quick drive into Matakana for the markets etc and lots of wineries handy. Spa and sauna were great! Lots of heaters around and the heat pump in the main lounge so it was a really nice cosy stay.”
