Villa Four

Negative: It’s not clear when booking that you face straight onto a busy road

We enjoyed our stay and our anniversary Positive: Walking distance to local restaurant and bars, shops etc. Bath and fire combo was excellent Negative: There was nothing to light the fire - no paper or fire starters and no instructions on how to use the TV in the room

Fantastic apartment in the heart of Matakana village Positive: Fantastic apartment in the heart of Matakana village. Perfect for a weekend away. The daybed at the rear was a great addition and lovely to use on a sunny afternoon.

Negative: bed was stiff, tv did not work at all and both nights randomly turned on at 3am.

Great location in village but needs better heating for winter Positive: The location was excellent, walking distance to restaurants, the markets and the shops. The apartment was clean, well equipped and modern . Carpark available behind the complex. Negative: We were freezing, even with the heat pump on for several hours we couldn't warm the apartment much. It was mid August so the coldest time of year. The additional blanket provided for the bed was useless for warmth. A thicker blanket is definitely needed. The remote for TV didn't work, I suspect it needs new batteries and we could only find the remote for one TV (the one that didn't work). There is also no table inside to eat at. It was too cold to use outside furniture.
