Jo & Tony Nicholson
The Matarangi is a boutique B&B situated between Coromandel Town (20mins) and Whitianga (30mins), making it the perfect location to stay on your Coromandel road trip. Architecturally designed accommodation to make the most of the stunning harbour views. Your spacious suite, complete with en suite opens onto a deck with breathtaking harbour vistas, perfectly positioned to relax and watch the sunsets. Experience some of the great scenery of Coromandel from here, 10 minutes drive away from the famous New Chums beach, 1hr 20mins drive to Cathedral Cove and Hot Water Beach, or just stay local and enjoy The Dunes Resort Golf Club, walking tracks, wharf and 3km of white sand at Matarangi Beach.
We can't wait to welcome you to Paradise. Together we have lots of knowledge about the Coromandel area what to do, bush walks, bird watching, fishing, golf, and where the best beaches are. Coromandel is known for its fresh seafood so many restaurants offer relaxed outdoor dining or we can make a platter for you to enjoy on the deck while the sunsets.( extra cost applies). Tony loves fishing so we have a filleting bench & outdoor shower along with heaps of parking - bring the boat.
The Matarangi is set on the edge of the harbour with a 3km walkway that winds its way about the spit of Matarangi at your doorstep. This peaceful and calming environment not only offers wonderful views, but the opportunity to view several types of bird life and unspoiled scenery. A 4 minute stroll away is The Dunes golf club, originally designed by Sir Bob Charles. Now extended to an 18 hole course with fabulous sea and harbour views, this course offers the ultimate golfing experience. The club house serves great meals and it's always relaxing sitting on the deck watching the action on the 18th hole. The wharf & boat ramp is a few minutes walk away, and a place to watch the spectacular sunsets. There is a small bay for picnics while you watch a variety of water sports, or bring a fishing rod & try your own luck off the wharf. Alternatively, head down to the beautiful white sand, gentle surf beach on the northern side of the spit, that stretches 4.5km. A stunning beach for relaxing, swimming, or walking. For those wishing to enjoy Matarangi by cycling, the paths, and cycleways. Places of interest include the well-known New Chums Beach which can only be accessed from Whangapoua. Other stunning beaches to explore are Rings Beach, Kuaotunu, Otama Bay and Opito Bay. Other places of interest are the famous Lukes Kitchen at Kuaotunu situated 10 mins from Matarangi where the locals met to treat themselves to good food and local brews. For those wishing to travel a bit further you can either drive to Cathedral cove near Hahei , or alternatively, take a boat from Whitianga. Hot Water Beach is approximately 50 minutes drive and definitely worth a visit. Or just stop relax and read a book at the beach.
