Stay at The Waterfall Hideaway

Absolutely loved our stay. It really felt like escaping into a little private haven. To fall asleep to the sound of the waterfall and wake up to the sound of fantails was lovely. Really comfy bed, great shower and the place had everything we needed. Would love to come back. Thank you.

Tranquil haven

We enjoyed a relaxing weekend stay at the cute and cosy Waterfall Hideaway. The studio was clean, tidy and exactly as the listing described with stylish retro decor and a comfy bed.Kim is a super responsive and accommodating host which made booking, check-in and checkout a breeze. With a great location close to Matakana’s markets and vineyards, and the added bonus of the native bush and waterfall outlook we’d definitely make a return visit!

A Peaceful Retreat & only Minutes from Matakana

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.

Serene hideaway

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.

A doorway to paradise

As you step through the unassuming white door, you arrive in a spacious studio hideaway with a view across a green gully into the tops of a forest of large Totara trees. The room is furnished in a relaxed old-world style, with olive-green walls, tall wooden bifold windows, an ensuite bathroom and a private terrace overlooking the waterfall below. This is how I could imagine paradise to be.We had a wonderfully relaxing time and are so grateful to you for having us to stay, I'm sure we will be back.

Waterfall delight

This was a perfect way to start my break and relax. The cottage is cute and nicely curated. Host was excellent. The waterfall was quite impressive and close, surrounded by bush. It was so relaxing to be able to hear the water, even when laying in bed. Magic experience, it is a very special place. The only disappointment was that I hadn't booked longer. Thank you Thanks
