Matapouri beach is a long stretch of sand with clear turquoise water. Walk along the beach to the end then into the water to walk around a rocky outcropping to reach the last bit of beach. From there it’s a 20 minute walk up and over a hill to reach the Mermaid Pools. Deep blue tide pools that you can swim in, worth the extra work to get there.

Top Matapouri Hotel Reviews

Aaron Court Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Although the motel dates probably from the mid 1980’s, it is clean, and comfortable, with a kitchen comprising of an electric stove top, microwave, toaster, kettle and fridge. All were in excellent condition, and the property is well maintained. Whilst we did not use the pool, it looked clean and inviting. There are only 12 units, in a quiet street only 5 mins walk from a New World and Woolworths, with some excellent cafes close by, and a short walk to the Harbourside area and town. Highly recommend for the price and would definitely stay again"

Pacific Rendezvous

10/10 Excellent

"James welcomed sincerely and warmly. There was such a serenity to the property. Lawns were mowed, edges clipped, everything kept neat and very clean. All the staff were friendly and helpful. And the location was superb. The views were unbelievable. Such beauty in every direction. It was a restorative, restful and uplifting stay. "
