“One of our best holidays ever”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 June 2013 NEW

Immaculately clean and affordable beach huts on a gob-smackingly beautiful beach / tropical island. The beach huts have everything you need. Tracey & Trevor are such fun, down-to-earth hosts and really made our holiday. You simply wouldn't get this experience by staying in a self contained unit or resort. Embrace all their tips on what to do - we love... More

“Awesome unique experience in paradise”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 June 2013

Matriki is on the best beach with good snorkeling and swimming right out front and amazing sunsets. Matriki's beach is very well maintained and comfortable with picnic tables, lounge chairs and shade trees in the sand. The accommodations are clean, comfortable, unique and charming. We stayed in the upper and lower treehouse, we loved the decks and views and slept... More

“Most relaxed, beautiful, awesome place to stay on the island”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 May 2013

This review is a mixture of a lot of big praise and a little bit of warning. First of all, Matriki is awesome. In my opinion, it's the most perfect location on the island with the nicest beach. The snorkeling just in front is great, with a healthy, living coral reef, and there are nearby options for great food (Puffy's... More

“The place to be on The Cooks...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 April 2013

... honestly! If you'd rather spent your money for activities like snorkelling etc. than on accomodation, but you still want a decent resort, this is your catch: Immaculate clean and comfy beach huts with kitchen and private shower only 10 meters from the sea. The beach is the cleanest on the island, with a hammock, picknick tables, sunchairs and floaties... More

We do seem to be attracting interesting travelers who want to experience a remote tropical paradise, with lots of ocean activity. Something that can't be had at other places.

“Perfect Place with the best people and hosts!”

It's the most beautiful place I've ever been to. The people are all very friendly on the island. Especially the hosts of Matriki Beach Huts are so friendly, funny and give you the best opportunities to discover the island and its surroundings. It was more than worth it going there...it was just a dream! don't think about it, do it!... More

“Same planet, a better world- Tripadvisor, we need more than 5 stars here!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 April 2013 via mobile

Every single detail of this wonderful place is taken care of: The lovely huts are quite basic, but spotlessly clean, with a kitchenette and private open-air shower. Even cold drinking water awaits you (plus there's free filtered drinking water available any time). The soft sand of the beach - 10 meters from your hut! - is cleaned every morning. Snorkel... More

My boyfriend and I arrived in Aitutaki somewhat knowing that we would find ourselves in paradise. Little that we knew Matriki Beach Huts and their hosts T&T (Tracey and Trevor) would contribute so much to that feeling.

Ever since I first saw a picture of a tropical island when I was just wee, have I wanted to go and see for myself. That chance now came up and what a lucky bugger I was to end up at Matriki. There is a magic around this place that imho originates only in part from the stunning vista of... More

This place is for seasoned backpackers and people who are self starters. Do your research and you will love this place. There are a lot of glowing reviews here which glorify this place a little to much. The beauty is the beach, lagoon, outer lagoon and islands.... The facility is very rustic and just a place to crash.
