Matriki Beach Huts is a small, budget hideaway situated right on the beach, on the North West coast of Aitutaki in the Cook Islands. We specialize in the adventure traveler. We offer four units in total. There are three beachfront units, first being the Beach Hut; this a stand alone beach hut, with kitchenette, outdoor shower and shared toilet. The second and third beachfront unit is our Treehouse Hut, which has an upper and lower unit. The Treehouse units also have a kitchenette and their own outdoor showers under the stars. The fourth unit is the Garden Unit, with its own indoor shower and toilet, it’s set back just 30 meters from the beach. Matriki beach offers fine white sand, all-tide swimming, excellent snorkeling and glorious sunsets. Matriki Beach Huts is built on family land and is Cook Islands Tourism accredited. Your hosts, Fred & Kristene, live at the back of the property and are there to help you enjoy your holiday. Fred offers a variety of boating adventures on the lagoon and outside the reef - snorkeling, fishing, motu drop-offs, cruises, and turtle - whale watch and so on. We are a short walk from several good restaurants and a short ride from the grocery stores, wharf and town centre. Scooter and bike hire as well as lagoon cruises can be arranged for you. If you are looking for simple living with a stunning yet peaceful outlook, Matriki Beach Huts is for you ... Kia Manuia Fred & Kristene |

| Guest Comments 28/7 -3/8 - 2007 Never in my wildest dreams did I think Aitutaki – anywhere in the world for that matter – could be this beautiful. This is really paradise. The hut is in a great spot – every night I kept the door open so I could wake up to the view of the lagoon. Matthias lagoon cruise was a fab day, really personal, great lunch, and I finally faced up to my fear of fish – the snorkeling was wonderful. Thank you Riki – great massage – Matthias + Keegan for helping to make this a trip I will never forget + hopefully will return some day. Lou (UK/Sydney) 4-7/7/07 Wow this place is absolutely fantastic and our wildest dreams and expectations more than fulfilled!! This place has a dream location and the ‘tree house’ a wonderful charm. It’s just what we wanted.Life here is so peaceful and relaxed, although a local rooster has tried his best to stir up some early hours life – we truly hope to be back some day. Many thanks from sisters Torill Dohl and Meret Dohl Rimer, Norway 21-28/6/07 Like heaven on earth. Right on the most beautiful beach. Awesome snorkeling, great coral life out there, fantastic trip with Matthias, the clams where amazing, pretty rough outside the reef but Dave still got in for a snorkel. If you want to go game fishing call up Mike & Mere – the neatest people. Dave caught 3 tuna. Everyone so friendly wherever you go. We tried all the restaurants + the one that hasn’t been mentioned is the Boatshed – awesome seafood platter for 2. Everything we had been told about this place is true and we will be back. Dave and Gayle Richardson, Taumarunui NZ 4/6 -11/6/07 We stayed for 7 nights – apart from the lagoon, snorkeling off the islands, beautiful weather etc, we actually had a great group of people here at the time – BBQ feast with freshly caught tuna and chicken under the stars. Fed the leftovers to the hermit crabs. We should have spent more time here than on bloody Rarotonga, because it truly is the island paradise you are looking for.. Did Matthias cruise – was worth it – more personal and not so touristy as the bigger boats. Loved the giant clams, rays and turtles, the little fish – the lagoon is like a big swimming pool. We love it here and will recommend it online ( it doesn’t appear in Lonely Planet Guide) My friend the cheeky gecko will miss me and if that rooster is still here say hello from me - the one that crows at 6am.Thanks Matthias for being a host, not just someone you rent from. Annemarie and Ian, Refugees from Sydney 19/6/07 Well I’ve read through all the comments in all three books (we stayed upstairs, downstairs and in the separate hut) and can join in the chorus of admiration for both Matriki and Aitutaki. Before we arrived we were told by Rarotongan locals that 9 days was way too long to spend on Aitutaki – but they were wrong! We actually felt quite busy scootering around, eating hamburgers at Kuku’s, island night at Samade, rocking at the Coconut Crusher Friday night, hiking around the trails, snorkeling, swimming and lazing around. Of course a trip on the lagoon is a must. Absolutely beautiful. See you again soon. Jessica and Dan, Toronto, Canada 29th May 07 We only spent 5 days here 3 years ago – so this time we arranged 2 weeks, still not enough! Snorkeling on the reef here is the best on the island – apart from off a boat in the reserve. The trip with Matthias was excellent. After a couple of weeks the tree house felt like home and we are sad to leave. Nora and John, Melbourne Aus 1/2/07 Before we came I was concerned that it would not be so completely idyllic as I imagined it to be from the website – I need not have worried, it has been fantastic, everything I hoped for and more. The snorkeling is great, the kayaking out at Outo is stunning and the game fishing ( went with Jason) was successful. Finally a big thanks to Matthias – the BBQ with all of us and the fish we caught was great. Nick and Jenny Vince, Wales UK |
