Summary
Mataura River Hideaway is a rural accommodation in Southland, New Zealand, offering a peaceful escape near the banks of the Mataura River. I was asked to design and build a website that not only showcased the accommodation itself but also gave a sense of the unique experiences available through the company in the surrounding area.
The focus was on creating a clean, user-friendly site that made it easy for visitors to explore, learn more, and book their stay.
To achieve this, I built the site on Squarespace, keeping the layout minimal and image-led to highlight the landscape and space. I also integrated the Lodgify booking system, allowing guests to book directly through the site. This setup made it straightforward for the client to manage bookings and enquiries without needing to navigate a complex backend.
The result is a practical, easy-to-use website that reflects the quiet charm of the hideaway and makes planning a visit simple for potential guests.
