Enjoy an old style feed of fresh fish and chips followed by a rolled icecream from the Point Wells General Store on the corner. Perhaps take the cycle trail to Omaha or Matakana. There are indoor games and books for wet days.

The Abbey is just great! We have just spent 4 nights there and loved it. It is VERY roomy, being part of a converted church building and has everything you could possibly need. The hosts, Andrew and Angela, were very friendly and helpful and always available by phone or text if needed. There is plenty to do and see in the Point Wells/Matakana area and lots of great places to eat and drink. We had meals at the Leigh Sawmill and the Matakana Market Kitchen and highly recommend both places. Returning here in July!

Very spacious and stylish house and it is much better than the photos. The deck area looks out onto a beautiful garden area. The owner was very kind & helpful. I had made a booking mistake which he kindly managed for us, and he also helped my husband fix his flat bike tire. We slept well in the comfy beds with good bedding & a nice selection of pillows. Its a lovely peaceful area and close to the very good cycle paths.
