Octagon in Paradise

We love everything about the Coromandel, and finding this almost beachfront accommodation added more happiness. We could walk to the beach and the shops in town centre. The long stretch of flat, hard packed sand beckoned daily walks. We enjoy self catering and appreciate the ambiance that our host provided. Everything we needed was there - great kitchen and pantry. Lots of outdoor spaces to dine alfresco and just relax. Thanks for offering your home to travelers.

Nice Location and Enjoyable Stay

It is nice bach close to the beach, just a quick walk through a park to the sand. That part of Matarangi is a hive of enjoyable activities and people are out in groups all over that area, walking and talking, running, kids playing, riding bikes, going to the beach, getting boats in and out of the water. The bach itself has a wonderful wrap around porch, and can be opened on all sides to let the sea breeze in on warm days. We found everything we needed for preparing meals without any problem, and the single bathroom works well even for large groups since the toilet is separate from the shower, which are both separate from the sink. Overall very enjoyable! 🙂

The host was awesome!

We had a really great stay here over the weekend. Catherine, the host, was so quick at replying and easy to deal with. The place is a short walk to the beach. Super comfy beds. You do need to be prepared with food and snacks and sauces etc for cooking, if you want them. As there is only the basics. But there is a four square close. Overall, a great stay and we would definitely book again.

About the host

Hosted by Catherine Donald

Host profile image
We spent two summers renting in Matarangi and fell in love with the place. We own the property with my elderly parents and have two teenage daughters who love Matarangi. We are all based in Auckland.

Why they chose this property


The location of our bach is amazing - Matarangi Beach is only four houses away at the end of the street. The village Green in less than 50m away (lots of events happen here over summer). There is a playground and basketball hoop on the village green. We are only a 5 minute walk to the local shops and cafe.
The bach was built by the original owners (he was a builder) and they lived here until ill health took them back to Auckland. He wanted to build something original and the octagon shape is the end result. Our family purchased the property in March 2020. We came to Matarangi for a couple of summers and fell in love with the place and decided we needed a more permanent base to enjoy it! Our teenage daughters love Matarangi and we love how safe it is.

Modern new furniture, including 2 kings beds and 2 x king single beds

Unlike most baches, our kitchen is fully equipped, even including baking equipment, crock pot, toasted sandwich maker, sharp knives - there really isn't anything else you will need to bring.

There is an abundance of beautiful beaches to explore within a short drive including Otama Beach, Opito Bay, Simpsons beach, Whangapoua Beach, and New Chums Beach are all within 20-25 minutes drive, as is Coromandel Town. Hot water beach is an hour away..

We hope you enjoy Matarangi and our family bach as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

Aside from the amazing location, the unique octagon shape means we have wrap around decks so you can chase the sun (or shade) all day.
