Explore the Treasures of Matapouri and Beyond While the retreat itself encourages relaxation, its location places you within minutes of Northland’s iconic landscapes.

• Matapouri Bay & The Mermaid Pools: Just a short stroll away lies the stunning, horseshoe-shaped Matapouri Bay. Its golden sands and sheltered, aquamarine waters are perfect for swimming and kayaking. For the adventurous, follow the coastal track at the northern end to discover the famous (and fragile) Mermaid Pools—natural rock pools at ocean level. Please remember to tread carefully and respect this delicate environment.
• Whale Bay: A gentle 20-minute walk from Matapouri Beach leads you to the secluded paradise of Whale Bay. This pristine, bush-fringed beach is accessible only by foot or boat, ensuring an often-private experience. It’s widely regarded as one of New Zealand’s most beautiful beaches, ideal for snorkeling in its clear waters or simply soaking up the untouched scenery.
• Tutukaka Coast & Poor Knights Islands: A 10-minute drive brings you to the Tutukaka Marina, the launch point for world-renowned diving and snorkeling trips to the Poor Knights Islands Marine Reserve. Even if you’re not diving, the coast offers excellent fishing charters, coastal walks with breathtaking lookouts, and a welcoming local pub with fantastic views.

Matapouri Bayside Retreat provides more than just accommodation; it offers a tranquil home base from which to experience the slow pace and raw beauty of Northland. Whether your day is spent beachcombing on pristine shores, exploring marine wonders, or simply unwinding in your private garden, this holiday home promises a restorative and authentically New Zealand escape.
