Plume Villas, the magic of Matakana
A one-hour scenic drive from Auckland, and 5 minutes from Matakana, Plume Restaurant is recognised for superb cuisine perfectly complemented by Runner Duck Estate Vineyard’s fine wines. As the vineyard’s cellar door, tastings are available here. Now, 12 new luxury villas offer accommodation a brief stroll from the restaurant, in surroundings where gourmet travellers or those seeking an escape from the city can discover some Matakana magic of their very own.
Ranging from 1-3 bedrooms, and sharing a swimming pool, the villas feature all the comforts of home in an idyllic coastal country setting. Your country escape starts here.
