"We had an absolutely wonderful weekend at Plume Villas in Matakana. From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect. The villa was beautiful, comfortable, clean and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The location is fantastic — peaceful and private, while still being close to everything Matakana has to offer. We especially loved the beautiful surroundings and the relaxed atmosphere. It was the perfect place to switch off, unwind and enjoy some quality time together. The whole experience exceeded our expectations, and we would happily stay here again. Thank you to the team at Plume Villas for such a fantastic stay. Highly recommended!"

"Perfect place for a romantic winter getaway. Stunning grounds, great room with lovely views, the lodge was cozy and the food was great - the breakfast in particular was amazing. Dinner was expensive but it didn’t disappoint and convenient onsite. No TV in the room but no need with the cozy fireplace. Bed was comfortable with nice linen. Mini fridge, good tea and coffee making facilities. Spa bath wasn’t working unfortunately but enjoyed the sauna. Would 100% recommend this place for a couple. Would also be a great place for a small conference, executive meeting or retreat."
