About this Holiday House
Discover your perfect coastal escape at this iconic family bach in the beautiful seaside town of Matapouri, Northland. Nestled just 200 metres from the pristine, white sand beach, this recently renovated (2024–25) holiday haven offers the ideal blend of modern comfort and the timeless charm of a classic Kiwi bach.
With room for everyone, the bach sleeps up to 15 guests comfortably, thoughtfully designed as a space where family and friends can truly come together. The heart of the home has been crafted by the designers at Apartmento, Stu and Melissa Bowman, who bring over 30 years of interior design expertise. Their vision showcases custom furniture, high-end finishes, and a relaxed, inviting style that perfectly reflects the laid-back beachside lifestyle.
Two spacious decks extend the living areas outdoors, ideal for long summer evenings, sunset drinks, and family BBQs. Whether you're gathered around the outdoor table for a fresh seafood feast or simply soaking up the sunshine with a good book, this home is built for creating unforgettable moments.
The large, open-plan kitchen, dining, and living areas flow seamlessly onto the verandas, capturing the afternoon sun as it dips behind the hills that shelter Matapouri. With multiple car parks, hosting family and friends is effortless. Known and admired within the community, this bach is one of Matapouri’s most iconic residences, a place full of heart and history.
Adding to the charm is a newly built sleepout, a tranquil, purpose-designed space created to complement the energetic living areas. Whether you need a quiet retreat to focus on work, a peaceful reading nook, or even a writer’s hideaway, this space offers privacy, inspiration, and lightning-fast WiFi in an otherwise sleepy beach town...
