Matakana used to be the perfect secret getaway, with it's fun local atmosphere and fantastic scenery. Then someone, probably Hank (who had a history of this sort of thing), told a whole lot of his mates. And now everyone knows about it. Not that that's spoiled it in any way. Matakana is still a favourite getaway location for all sorts of New Zealanders across the country.

Discover the very best Matakana has to offer with a night's stay at The Old Barn for up to five people for only $149. You'll enjoy a checkout time of 12pm so you've got plenty of opportunity to take it one of New Zealand's favourite vineyard towns.

A beautiful rustic barn conversion only minutes from Matakana village, The Old Barn is perfect for an overnight getaway with friends. Warm macracarpa wood lines the walls, which gives it a magnificent smell of timber. The old barn has been fitted out comfortably with fireside chairs for reading and comfortable couches to relax on and offers all the necessities for a break from the busy city. The barn has a warm sunny deck with glorious views up the valley to Mt Tamahunga.
