Beautiful and relaxing stay at Matakana Bush hut
We had a lovely few nights at the Bush hut. Matakana is a charming town and the surrounding beaches are gorgeous. We loved Goat Island. We were very happy at the hut. It's very well appointed and comfortable. A very relaxing stay. Thank you

Had a wonderful stay at the Bush Hut! The location, property and environment were breathtaking. Located in the bush, you are surrounded by nature. Our stay was peaceful, relaxing and exciting! Mark and Sue were wonderful and excellent hosts. Mark is a local designer and built most of the furnishings inside and outside the home! Can not recommend the Bush Hut enough! It is a must stay if you are traveling near Matakana!

Bush paradise close to Auckland
A wonderful find surrounded by beautiful bush. Inside a airy space, stylishly designed with thoughtful touches. Every window frames the surrounding bush and the outdoor shower, bath and spa make it feel like a magical retreat. Better than I could have imagined.

Amazing Spot!
Amazing spot, close to Matakana but also very private. Hot tub and outdoor bath/shower are amazing and fire and projector inside was a great addition to the house. Would definitely stay again!
