    Very peaceful and beautifully decorated in a quiet country location only minutes away from.Matakana. Ideal for couples wanting a special place for two or three days to explore and relax. Very good internet if you have to work remotely. All in all...

Gavin Jardine
A luxurious and private boutique accommodation, located within strolling distance to Matakana Village - perfect for those who crave both comfort and style. Views of the surrounding countryside coupled with beautiful interior furnishings create the perfect place to relax & enjoy all that Matakana has to offer.
The main home is occupied by owner Gavin, his young daughter Loula and their friendly small dog, Rosie. But unless you require assistance, it’s unusual for the paths of guests and owners to cross. Gavin’s wife Michelle was a brilliant portrait photographer and designer who was much-loved in the area. She had a passion for floral wallpapers, chandeliers and all things French, and it’s her discerning eye which has created these fabulous interiors. Some of her quirky portraits are on the walls, and you’ll find a couple of her photography books on the shelves.
There’s a lot to do at Michelle's Place – or you could do nothing but settle into its gorgeous French provincial-style interior and soak up the rural views from the generous window-seat. But if you’re keen to explore, you could stroll over to the famous Saturday Farmers Market for artisan cheeses and wine to indulge in, check out some of the local galleries, walks, vineyards, restaurants and beaches, then come back and relax in your private outdoor bath under starry skies. Michelle's Place is perfect for a couple. On request we can prepare an additional single bed to comfortably accommodate a third person, we can also accomodate a fourth person on a camp stretcher if required - preferably a child. Any queries please contact Gavin. Portable cot available if required. Cleaning fee included in price. 15 minute stroll to Matakana Village.
