First of all i would like to express our many thanks for our stay at the Mataatua Marae. We really felt at home and we were really pleased with all the facilities offered by this wonderful and sacred place. Kindly,

It was such a pleasure to deal with Viv. I found her very helpful and the system to book was so easy. Our kura is looking forward to our stay 😊
Bula vinaka.
For the 2nd time we have used your Marae. Very presentable, clean with a big kitchen and a big space to move around freely while preparing food and doing the dishes. We just loved the layout.
Marae and Hall are so clean and well kept. Crockeries are clean, tidy and dusts free..
Just one concern is the bathrooms do not have good drainage to stop the water from overflowing to the toilets in the Tane’ s toilets and bathrooms. Apart from the above mentioned. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, its kids friendly, convenient to most of us and we just love the big spaces in the kitchen.
Plenty of car parking spaces as well and very well secured.

Easy and simple to use, Viv, Hiria and Pa are awesome to deal with. We have used Mātaatua marae many times and will continue to do so due to the quality of service we’ve received from the team.
