Matriki Beach Huts

L’emplacement est génial, en face de la plage, à côté de restaurants sympas et pas très loin de l’aéroport. La douche à l’extérieur, sympa !

Les toilettes sont en dehors de la hut. La wifi est payante alors qu’elle ne fonctionne pas très bien et s’arrête de fonctionner aux alentours de 22h. Les vélos à disposition sont rouillés et très vieux donc pas agréable à utiliser (impossible de faire le tour de l’île avec). Pas de poubelle dans la hut. Pas d’eau chaude dans la douche extérieure.

The location was great - the only good thing going

The room felt and smelt very damp, everything was dirty including all the cutlery and plates. The fan was very dirty and rusty too. Lots of mosquitos due to the rotting coconuts out the back of the room. No hot water for shower - not a biggie considering it’s a warm climate but the window from the room above looked down on to the shower so not very private.

Proximity to the beach

It’s pretty rough and rundown. When we stripped beds black mould all over the bedding.

great location, nice host and good lagoon tour, free drinking water

room was old and basic, wifi costs extra, the roosters are annoying

The property was awesome hidden in amongst the gardens, created a nice private & peaceful place too stay with access to the beautiful lagoon to swim in. Was able to hire a scooter there too nice way to explore the islands

When we arrived, we were offered a second hut free of charge because I was with my sister, and he thought it might be nice for us to have seperate rooms. We spent our first day using the freely provided paddle-boards on the beautiful lagoon just a couple steps away from our huts. We read that we could rent snorkelling gear for 5$ a day (pp), when we wanted to go pay, he let us use the equipment free of charge. The accommodation provides a small selection of free bicycles to use, they aren't the best quality but they were sufficient for getting us into town and back. There is also a free drinking water tap. On the first day, I suffered pretty severe sunburns, when we asked where we could buy sunburn aftercare like Aloe Vera, he walked into his garden and provided fresh Aloe Vera leaves which helped immensely to reduce the pain. Overall a very good experience, Matthias was very nice and really cared for his guests.

There is no free wifi provided, which isn't the end of the world because we were only there for a couple of days. I have no other negative sides of this accommodation. If you are looking for extreme luxury then this isn't the right place for you, but for the price, this was the best accommodation we could have hoped for during our trip to the Cooks.
