About this property

Matahere's Downstairs Muri

just past the noni plantations, is Matahere’s Residence. Perched on a slope overlooking the areas luxurious interior, this grand home ticks all the right boxes when it comes to spaciousness, handiness to amenities, privacy and locale.

Matahere’s is in fact two fully self contained homes… upstairs and downstairs. Both floors are exactly the same each boasting four bedrooms with kingsize beds, two with ensuites. The bedrooms also have additional single or double beds. The two oceanside bedrooms open out to the large spacious covered verandah with stunning views of Muri. On the mountainside are the other two bedrooms and another verandah with views of the islands mountainous interior. To say the main living area is spacious would be an understatement it is BIG with a fully equipped kitchen, massive living area with a TV and sound system to match also in the common area is the roomy dining area. The whole house has been lovingly furnished and appointed by Matahere herself. The maximum number of people each floor can take is 12. This makes the home ideal for large family bookings or groups of families on holiday together.

Good stay in Mataheres downstairs
The house was awesome. Very clean. Beautiful property. Has everything you need eg washing machine, kitchenware, microwave, decent fridge freezer, towels etc etc Good location right by murri markets and not far from murri beach. The care taker Mike that lives next to the property was awesome. Very helpful, and very accomodating. Such a nice man. This makes me not want to complain about anything at all. But, for the sake of giving an honest review as these help me on my journeys also. My only cons would be if you aren't used to a hotter humid climate, the fans might not cut it for you. We had some really hot nights but we were also lucky to have a few days of rain so it cooled down abit. Also if you have kids and think the tv will keep them entertained at night or rainy days it doesn't pickup a signal so maybe take a chromecast or something to connect to the TV that can accommodate that. This is quite common in my experience coming to the islands though. Other then that. Photos don't really do it justice it is a big beautiful house with ensuites in all 4 rooms. It is really good for bigger familys. With beautiful surroundings. And I would reccomend it to people I know would be able to handle the heat without aircon.

Una casa fabulosa
Una casa fabulosa con 4 dormitorios amplios con sus baños ensuite (iguales); cocina cómoda con todas sus necesidades aunque hemos echado de menos el lavavajillas; terraza espectacular rodeada de vegetación. Muy bien localizada, a 5-10 minutos andando de Muri Lagoon, zona estupenda! Eddie y Mike muy pendientes. Volveríamos a alquilar esta casa.

Perfect location and property for larger groups!!
Wow what a neat place to stay for a larger group! Everyone had their own space inside and out with two outdoor areas and each bedroom having a private bathroom was the best! Location couldn’t have been any better either with 24hour store just down the road along with beach restaurants and more! Plenty of room for parking rentals! The property was nice and tidy and equip with everything you needed although if I could make one suggestion it would be to invest in some new pans as the the ones we used were pretty well had it. The neighbours (apart from the rowdy rooster which are kept right next door...eek!!) and care takers were super lovely and helpful! Our only real downer to the stay was a few stray cats which fought and sprayed(wee’d) all over the outdoor area including some of our water gear so we would advise to keep your belonging inside. Thanks Eddie for listing a great property we wouldn’t hesitated to recommend or stay again.

the property was great for big groups, but the beds and the lounge suite very uncomfortable. great facilities. awesome to have four massive bedrooms with four ensuites, kitchen had everything we needed, tv had very bad reception and instructions on how to use the dvd would be great, it rained a lot while we were staying and we had young kids but it took four days to get the dvd to play. MIchael the on site caretaker was awesome to deal with

Beautiful house, exactly like the photos. Second time staying at Mataheres and loved it both times. Perfect spot close to lagoon but well off main road for privacy and a racing toddler. Great caretaker always available to help. Clean and safe, just loved it!
