We stayed here for nearly a week and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. The place has style in abundance, beautifully furnished throughout. Tea or coffee in the sun drenched lounge or on the terrace is a treat with magical views all round. The approach up the drive is spectacular and the gardens are delightful. We were looked after extremely well by... More

I had my wedding at matauwhi with the ceremony out on the lawns out on the cliff with all the guests facing the beautiful views. It was very intimate and so romantic! I had the reception dinner in a completely lit up marquee on the hill behind the manor again overlooking the views but also the grounds and manor-so perfect!... More

We have just had the best two nights in Matauwhi Bay Manor for our 50th birthdays. Gorgeous gardens, luxury accommodation, lovely hostess (Naomi), private boat and skipper (Warwick who was generous with both his local knowledge and his fish) for sightseeing and fishing trip, and absolutely delicious food cooked by host (chef Ben). My husband caught his first fish ever... More

We chose Matauwhi Bay Manor for our Christmas function. From the time we were met by a welcoming staff member to transport us from the Russell wharf to the Manor we were overwhelmed with the service and professionalism. Chef Ben served a magnificent trilogy of canapes, turkey and hand made dessert finished off with port and brewed coffee. Mine hosts... More
