Notes like this...
We found this beautiful message in our guest book after our weekend guests headed home and it absolutely made our day 😍
We love creating a space where people can switch off from everyday life for a couple of days, so reading words like these means so much to us.
Thank you Jock & Jane for letting us share your lovely note and for the drawings, which might just be our favourite part!
With gratitude 🌿

✨ LAST-MINUTE FATHER’S DAY ESCAPE ✨
A last-minute cancellation means The Green Tent is now available this Father’s Day weekend! Forget the socks and chocolates… how about two nights away in Matakana instead? 🤭
A pretty lovely way to spoil Dad or simply escape together for the weekend. ❤️

Omaha Beach, just 10 minutes from The Green Tent!
In my opinion, one of the best beaches around… although I might be a little biased 🤭
It’s one of my favourite places for a walk, whatever the time of year. And on a beautiful winter’s day like this, it’s pretty hard to beat.
Come and experience it for yourself 🌿

This upcoming weekend is still available...
Imagine arriving on Friday, sinking into a warm candlelit bath and leaving the busyness of everyday life behind...
If you've been meaning to plan a little escape, this could be your sign!

❄️ July School Holidays at The Green Tent
Looking for a family getaway these July school holidays?

Matakana is full of little adventures for every age. Meet the gorgeous donkeys at the Highland Donkey Reserve, enjoy a well-earned scoop from Charlie's Gelato, let the thrill-seekers experience Evolt Racing, wander beautiful Tāwharanui Regional Park, walk along stunning Omaha Beach then return to The Green Tent for a cosy evening of board games.

It's the perfect balance of exploring, slowing down and making memories together without needing to travel far.

Make Matakana your base for a winter adventure and create lasting memories together this July.

School holiday dates available, and we'd love to welcome your family!

📧 Email us at [email protected] to book your winter escape.

✨ A few of my favourite Matakana things... ✨
One of the questions I'm often asked by guests is, "What are your favourite spots around here?"
There are so many but these are a few I keep going back to:
🥢 Pad Thai from
🌿 Wandering through Scandrett Regional Park with its stunning coastal views
🍦 After-dinner Mint Gelato from
☕ An Oatie Caramel Slice from Ravish
🏡 Browsing the beautiful homewares
What would be first on your list?
