Our property at Whale Bay, Matapouri, is a special one. The built environment is spacious, the core of which was designed by a nationally recognized architect. Accommodation is spread across five separate buildings which are contemporary and distinctive. Each building occupies a different part of the site and presents a difference of land and seascape. The main living structure at present is a medium sized Fijian style bure with a mezzanine that overlooks Staffa Bay, and has echoes of the little ocean-side churches that exist all around the Pacific. Over the sheltered lawn to one side is a bunkhouse that sleeps 4. Next to this is an outdoor bath overlooking the small garden and coastline.

On another part of the site, across lawns and down a garden path, there is another building we call the Garden Shed. It has a high, single, large room with just two chairs and a queen-sized bed.

At the top of the drive is a boatshed the size of four double garages. Over the past few years we have reserved this building for family use. While we don't include it in the rental, we are happy to give access to the laundry and when there is a large group in occupation we can make the mezzanine available for extra sleeping.

And beside the boatshed is the second and standalone bathroom. It is constructed in galvanized steel, has a roller door that can be lowered for privacy, and is built around two immense his and her shower roses.

And between these 5 buildings you find yourself making the many journeys that connect them, from shelter to open space and back, during the course of the day.

Whale Bay is ideal for one or more families ; for families with friends ; or couples desiring isolation in a visual feast. Young children can be with you in the bure. Older ones can occupy different buildings and spaces. Guests have the separation they and you desire.

    Likely one of the best properties and overall experiences in all of Matapouri.

    We had an amazing time at the Matapouri Beach House. Exploring the property and the various buildings was magical and we could have easily stayed for another week. The accommodation has everything you need to feel comfortable and at home. The view of the bays from the hillside vantage were stunning and an incredible sight to see every morning when waking up. Susan, our host made sure everything was sorted for us. We'll definitely be visiting again.

    We thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to stay here. A mixed group of family and friends able to take advantage of the separate dwellings areas over the property. The property is superbly placed to take advantage of all the idyllic spots around Matapouri and further up and down the Tutukaka Coast.

    We had a fabulous week staying at this beautiful property. Great accommodation, stunning views, and so peaceful. There is a track across the road that is an easy walk to either Whale Bay & Matapouri beach for a swim. Or throw the surfboards in the car and easily get to Sandy Bay which is only 5mins down the road. A great beach holiday that we hope to repeat!

    Beautiful property with lots of room for everyone. It is a special spot with views over Matapouri on one side and over to Wolleys Bay on the other. Kids loved exploring the many places around the property. Bird life is abundant. Perfect place to unwind and hang with friends and family.
