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.

"A perfect place to have a holiday, so much to do. So close to the beach and shop. The headlands walk and kayaks were great too. Comfortable beds and good shower."

"My family loved our stay at the bach, right on the beach "

"Spent a week in February, just the two of us, but house would be ideal for two groups as one end has double bedroom little lounge, looking out to beach, and 3 bedrooms, one double with ensuite, are at other end beyond main lounge. The adjacent motor camp was super quiet and has coffees and takeaways. Area absolutely gorgeous for swimming and boating activities "

"Off the main road, quiet and close to town. We only stayed one night, and it suited us well, if we ever need a place to stop for a night or longer Aaron Court Motel is on our short list"
