This is the ideal place to stay if you are in the area. Jackie and Daniel are outstanding hosts! Our room was clean and spacious. Our bathroom was large, clean, with a great shower and the best shampoo/conditioner I have ever used. Their B&B is like a hotel. It has at least four rooms with a wide hallway between. Each room has French doors that open up onto a wrap around porch. The breeze that came into our Room was delightful! They have a hot tea and coffee bar available to all 24/7 AND a lounge, just for the guests. It was very private and comfortable. If you get a chance to have dinner and breakfast, don’t pass it up…it’s delicious! Plus, be sure to check out The Kauri Museum, which is just next door…it’s an impressive facility! I’m still dreaming of Jackie’s homemade cheesecake with mixed berry compote!

Absolutely nothing!

-Location - we picked this as a mid point in a long drive. Well worth it. It’s next door to the local Kauri Museum - which I recommend going to. -Access and parking - host met us on site and there is plenty of parking -Restaurants - there is a cafe opposite that closes about 3pm, so we didn’t go there, but the host messaged a while before and offered to cook dinner for us. We took them up on the offer and were not disappointed. Good food at a good price. -WiFi speed - we were in the room furthest from the living area where the WiFi was patchy - 6mbps down and 0.2mbps up. However in the living area, which was available for guest use, it was 50mbps down and 6mbps up. -Breakfast - bacon, eggs and toast. Simple, but lovely. -Bed - firm, but comfortable. -Noise levels - super quiet -Temperature - the host put on the heaters before we arrived which was appreciated and ment it was very comfortable. -Shower - decent enough, but when we were chatting to the hosts they told us they are about to have all new bathrooms installed anyway. So I’m picturing good things! -Overall comments - Fantastic host, cracking food. Would stay again - highly recommended.

What a gem in the small village of Matakohe and right next to the very interesting Kauri museum. The bedroom was beautifully decorated and both the bedroom and bathroom were so spacious and comfortable. As we were the only visitors our host suggested we look at the other bedrooms as well. They were all beautiful and all had a door leading onto a farmhouse style wrap around verandah. We say on the verandah and enjoyed the sunset and views of the neighbouring farms. The hosts Jackie and her husband were very friendly and easy to talk to. What a really great evening we had .....we didn't want to leave.

What a great place to stay - easy to find, a beautiful property with their own chooks (hens) for eggs, vegies from the garden. Our room was very big and comfortable with our own bathroom. We had a verandah to sit out on overlooking the property - beautiful. And our hosts - Jackie & Daniel - couldn't have been more welcoming, friendly or helpful. A lovely couple doing a great job looking after their guests. Jackie even phoned the Kauri Museum (she knew we were going there after leaving Matakohe House) as she'd found my phone charger. Many thanks Jackie. :)

Nothing to say here. :)

So clean, freshly painted and well appointed! Close to the Kauri museum! Purpose of our visit! Hosts are friendly, helpful and made our stay enjoyable! Was great to meet Jackie and Daniel and spend time with them! Food- breakfast and dinner was excellent! Plunger coffee and help yourself to tea and coffee in the kitchenette! We stayed here 12 years ago and enjoyed our stay just as much! Thank you!

Stayed 2 nights and enjoyed the quiet location near the Kauri Museum. The hosts kindly offered dinner and wine which was very good (saved a trip out at night in an area that appeared to be offering few options). The hosts were very helpful and also had a bit of land too with some farm animals.

The first impressions of the property were that it was weathered and run down but the facilities inside were in good condition.

The Matakohe House is located conveniently approximately 100 meters from the Matakohe museum. We were greeted by our host, Jackie. The BB has sizeable rooms with on suite. Leading out to balcony also internal access. Comfortable beds. We enjoyed the option of the evening meal onsite. The yummy dessert. The following morning, after a leisurely breakfast included in price we made to the museum 😀

The breakfast was tasty and the couple who own the place are very friendly. They made us feel at home. The room was comfortable and a good size.

The pillows could have been more comfortable; they were a bit flat and floppy instead of being deep and offering good cushioning for the head.

Jackie and Daniel are excellent hosts, who provide a wonderful reception, cooked breakfast and coffee, good conversation if you love a chat is an added bonus and have the availability to cater to your needs on request. For us, it was cooking us a lovely New Years Eve dinner and dessert. Thoroughly enjoyed our impromptu stay at Matakohe House, as we decided to embark on our return journey home a day earlier and thankfully for all a cancellation at Matakohe House. Extremely comfortable and clean and felt like home away from home. We feel as though we have gained a friendship meeting these two lovely people.

That we could only stay one night.

Good location for visiting the Kauri Museum and nearby Kauri forests. Comfortable guesthouse with breakfast, and an option for an evening meal. Cooked breakfast only with toast was good. Basic meal at night was adequate for our needs. Lovely views from the room.

When other guests are talking on the verandas, you can hear them quite clearly, but it didn't bother us very much.
