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! đ
