Matua Gardens Retreat is best shared with someone you love.
A tranquil rural retreat just minutes from Akaroa and just over an hour from Christchurch this is where nature meets nurture.
It is ideal for romantic celebrations or an escape from the world. Described as "genuine Kiwi hosts providing world class hospitality with European standards and flair" Hosts Sue & Richard love to share this inspired combination of beautiful scenery, tranquil bush and garden setting teamed with nourishing traditions and discreet service.
Catering to domestic and international guests we advise you to leave enough time to enjoy the nature cruises, mail runs, sailing, galleries and other Banks Peninsula experiences or just relax and enjoy the view.
Fantastic location and excellent service. Our thanks go out to Sue and Richard for making our stay so very special.
Matua Gardens offers beautiful views over Akaroa Harbour from the bedroom and lounge, as well as the private deck area. The house is warm and welcoming, with every small detail taken into consideration, from the bath products and candles to the pillows and dressing gowns.
The gardens are also absolutely beautiful - loads of lovely spots to retreat to.
Sue and Richard provide a fantastic service - from the first email inquiry through to confirming the smallest detail.
I would recommend this location to every couple for a romantic getaway.
