10/10 Excellent
"Great stay even with rainy weather. The house was warm and comfortable. The view of the ocean is unbeatable. We stay here often to get away for a couple of days. Very peaceful."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Mataikona?
The best area to stay in Mataikona is along the beachfront, particularly close to Mataikona Road where the majority of holiday homes are located.

This area is essentially the heart of Mataikona, offering direct access to the pebble beach and the Pacific Ocean. The homes here are typically private holiday rentals, ranging from cosy cabins to more spacious houses, many with stunning sea views. It's a linear settlement, stretching along the coast, so everything is within a short walk or drive.

Couples looking for a quiet escape will find this area perfect. You can enjoy long walks along the beach, explore the rock pools at low tide, or simply relax on a deck with a view of the ocean. The lack of commercialisation means you can truly disconnect and enjoy the natural surroundings.

Families will also appreciate the beachfront location. Children can spend hours exploring the beach, building driftwood forts, or splashing in the shallows.
When is the best time to go to Mataikona?
The best time to go to Mataikona is during the summer months, from December to February, when the weather is warm and sunny, superb for enjoying the coastal activities.

During this period, you can expect long daylight hours and pleasant temperatures, making it ideal for exploring the rugged coastline, swimming at the beach, or fishing. The local community often has events and markets during these warmer months, adding to the relaxed holiday atmosphere.

For those who prefer a quieter experience with fewer crowds, the shoulder seasons of spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) also offer good weather. While slightly cooler, these months are still great for walking and enjoying the natural beauty, often with stunning clear days.
