    The location by the water is stunning. The photos don't do it justice. We spent a lot of time sitting out on the jetty, enjoying the peace and quiet. It's close to Matakana and Tawharanui, so it's perfect for the farmers market and nearby...

Welcome to the Apple Cider Lodge, located between Matakana and Omaha! Here, you can kayak in the serene shallow bay, stroll through the 9-hectare flat orchard, sleep under the stars to the sound of the waves, and enjoy the sunrise and sunset reflected on the calm sea. Bask in the ample sunshine and refreshing sea breeze. As you drive through the gate, pass through a forest and apple orchard, and travel down the long driveway flanked by towering bamboo, the white seaside Lodge comes into view. A walnut grove, exclusively yours, cleverly separates the farm from the orchard, creating a space that is both open and private. The indoor and outdoor environments are clean, tidy and designed to give you the most comfortable experience. The bed linens are fresh and clean. The fully equipped kitchen allows you to relax completely with everything you need right there next to you. Immerse yourself in this paradise, where time seems to stand still. And don't worry, the roosters and seabirds will remind you to wake up. Within a five-minute drive, you can reach Matakana market, Omaha golf course, country park, restaurants, excellent beer bars, cinemas, beaches, and wineries. Whether you are a busy working professional, a housewife, a couple, a student, a family on holiday or a tourist from afar, this place will satisfy your needs and leave you feeling calm and refreshed. Also, please note the manager of the Lodge is also responsible for maintaining the orchard, ensuring that your stay is private, romantic, safe, and convenient.
Other points to note: We will thoroughly clean the interior and surroundings of the house and disinfect all surfaces. The large trampoline is not fenced and children are welcome to use it, but you are 100% responsible for their safety during your stay. As a farm, you will see some farm animals in around the lodge and you may hear some noise from the animals (Chickens). Please treat them with respect. The lock box are beside the entry gate. We will send you the password via the Booking com website before you arrive at the lodge. Parties and group events are not allowed without express permission from the manager, as we welcome private vacationers from all over the world who wish to enjoy a quiet and peaceful stay. If you plan to make a bonfire or set off fireworks, you must inform us in advance. Our fruit trees are grown organically, with zero herbicides, pesticides or chemical fertilisers. The two bedrooms can accommodate up to four guests.
