The Douglas family welcomes you to this private island with intimate thirteen bure resort tucked between the cliffs of Matangi Island and the aquamarine waters of the Tasman Straits. We strive to make your holiday carefree and comfortable by providing services and activities to accommodate your desires.

When you arrive at Matangi Island you will scarcely notice a resort hidden among the many trees and gardens along the beach. Our guests reside in 13 individual bures (Fijian style bungalows) scattered around a central area where our dining and activities center nestle in the tropical foliage. From each bure it is a short walk to the beach, dining or activities center, but far enough to provide privacy.

The buildings (bures) are constructed in typical Fijian style and nestled under the palms and along the white sand beach of this former plantation island. The resort looks like a nicely groomed Fijian village. However, we provide the luxuries of a first class hotel, a first class hotel where you can leave your shoes in your baggage if you wish!

Each bure has a large bath area with a hot shower and is supplied twice a day with plenty of fluffy towels. Hairdryers are available on request. A comfortable sitting area (separated from the bedroom in the deluxe and treehouse bures) accommodates a mini-bar always stocked with soft drinks, wine, and beer as well as locally grown Fijian coffee and tea service.

We provide soft terrycloth bathrobes which you will find hanging in a large closet beside the queensize bed. Each night, your bed will be turned down and the lacy mosquito net tucked around it like a cocoon. If the sea breeze is not sufficient to cool your bure, you can use the ceiling fan we provide. The architecture of the bures is remarkable, take a look at a bure ceiling.

We offer several types of bungalows including our two treehouse bures, deluxe and standard bures.

Perched atop a small hill in a garden overlooking the beach and sea, our one double bure is extra large and divided into two sections adjoined by an internal door for groups or large families.

Laundry: Just drop your laundry in the hamper beside the bed and it will be returned to you, clean and folded, at no extra charge. 240V electrical outlets (3 prong) are located throughout the bure.
