Scenic Matavai Resort Niue

The resort provides beautiful ocean views, comfortable rooms, and exceptional staff. Guests praise the cleanliness, delicious breakfast, and convenient location on a cliff. However, there is no mention of any disadvantages.

We stayed at the Matavai apartment units down the road as the main resort was full. The units are located a short drive from the main resort and it has its own pool, BBQ and seating area, a satellite reception with freezers for each unit, a washer and dryer and also a telephone with a directory for Reception and restaurants. Our unit had excellent air-conditioning, a kitchenette with a hot plate, fridge and microwave. It's a great option for families as each unit sleeps up to 4: a king sized bed and a sofabed suitable for kids. Check in was easy and the cold welcome drinks and cold towels were a treat. Reception conveniently sorted out a rental car as they have some parked at the main resort carpark! Special mention to Elaine who was amazing and organised everything for us so efficiently! The resort also has Airport transfers and a welcome orientation for guests. The two pools at the main resort are great and it was nice to enjoy a cold slushy from the pool bar. The breakfast buffet had a good selection. The usual hot selection including scrambled eggs, sausage, hash, fish, fresh coconut bread, cereals and fruit, cold juices but no cold cuts. They also had an a la carte menu and it was nice to see the local police force also enjoying breakfast there one morning because the view is incredible! We had some lunches and dinners there which was handy with everything closed on Anzac day, but the service was a bit slow. Their umu buffet night is delish and fun with a live performance from friendly locals. The food was great with a spitroast pig, lamb, chicken and other island delicacies. Some vegetarian friendly options too. They provide the guests with a daily newsletter with a schedule of resort activities and island activities. The apartment units were great to stay at but next time we will stay at the main resort so we can easily walk to breakfast and dinner.

The pillows were lovely food was tasty. great location and eay access to sea tracks and beaches. Staff Eliane, Papu, James, Tina, Jick and Posa were all very friendly and made our stay memorable. definitely coming back to enjoy this beautiful place when the whales are about.
