As good as it gets in Matapouri!

The Neighborhood:

Relaxed - the whole Matapouri community is a summer playground, with kids jumping off the bridge into the river.

Matapouri Memories is right amongst it in walking distance to it all.

Why they chose this property

Matapouri is like stepping back into holidays when we were kids. Walking everywhere, to the beach, to the store for a cold drink or ice-cream and back to the beach again. Visit the bridge at high tide to do bombs into the river - the outdoor eatery serves delicious wood-fired piazza or seafood deliciousness.
Take aways and all the essentials, including a tennis court and bush walks ... you'll forget the time and you wont want to leave when the time comes.

What makes this property unique

With two houses, this property is set for extended families, or even two separate families to holiday together while having ample space to holiday as you like. Plenty of parking for the boat and outdoor dining so you can make the most of summer in Matapouri.
