The Lighthouse - Te Mata Holiday Home

The stylish, well-equipped kitchen features high-quality appliances, including an air fryer and slow cooker. Dish up a classic Kiwi feast while the kids play on the lawn. The back of the property is fenced, protecting kiwi and quail in the bush.

Four well-appointed bedrooms, plus an additional queen bedroom available on request, comfortably sleep up to nine guests. A family-sized bathroom, master ensuite with separate toilet, and full laundry facilities complete the setup.
