A 10-minute drive from Tutukaka or a 2 hour 25 minute drive from Auckland and you’ll find yourself in the marine paradise that is Matapouri. Matapouri is one of those idyllic spots, where every corner you turn you’ll find yourself in awe as you stumble upon another azure blue cove lined with Pohutukawa or golden dunes. There’s much to explore with Whale Bay nearby being accessed via a 15 minute bush walk, and of course the legendary mermaid pools – a large natural set of rock pools set against the ocean perfect for swimming in at low tide. All of our Matapouri Accommodations are pre-inspected prior to your arrival and are ready for instant online booking.
