Matakana Retreat
Airstream Retreat
Reconnect with nature in our fully refurbished American Airstream™, set privately on a hill with sweeping views over native bush and valley.
Designed for couples, this off-grid stay blends 50's Americana charm with quiet comfort. Enjoy a cedar hot tub soak under the stars, cook meals in your private outdoor kitchen, and drift off to sleep surrounded by the sounds of the forest. A unique stay for those craving calm, connection, and just the right amount of retro.
Outside we've created a stunning outdoor kitchen for you to cook in nature, an cedar hot tub, and a full service area that includes a hot shower and off grid composting toilet and bathroom.
In front of the caravan is a fire pit with expansive views overlooking the Matakana Valley.

via AirbnbMy partner and I stayed at the Airstream campervan, and it was an unforgettable, romantic, and magical experience. Cosy and tucked away in nature, it felt like our own private world. Surrounded by lush greenery, it's peaceful, secluded, and the perfect place to unwind and disconnect. The bathroom was surprisingly spacious, and we loved the eco-friendly touches like the clean, no-waste toilet, reflecting the hosts' thoughtful, sustainable approach. There are plenty of books to enjoy and board games for some fun, competitive nights in. The cedar bathtub was a real highlight, soaking under the stars with its divine woody aroma was pure bliss. We even had a special encounter with a Morepork (Ruru) perched nearby, a truly unique moment. Damon and Dee were warm and attentive hosts. Nearby, Matakana markets and Tawharanui offer great exploring and swimming. It's a wholesome and rejuvenating escape we can't recommend enough. We'll definitely be back!
