    Les bungalows sont extrêmement bien placés tant pour découvrir l’île de Santo que pour buller sur la plage. La cuisine partagée au cœur du lodge crée un super espace de rencontre pour partager ses expériences et bons plans avec les autres clients....

Property information

Matevulu Lodge is a small, family-run Bed & Breakfast, perfect for travelers looking for a peaceful and authentic island escape. Please note that we are not a hotel or a resort, we do not have a restaurant or a bar onsite ; but rather offer a simple and independent stay with all you need for a relaxing experience. Our four cozy bungalows provide a comfortable, homelike setting just steps from the beach, with beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean and nearby tropical islands. Each bungalow is equipped with a ceiling fan, mini fridge, tea cups, kettle, and coffee plunger. A complimentary continental breakfast is prepared each morning in our shared Fare kitchen, and guests have access to free Wi-Fi, as well as kayaks, SUP boards, and snorkel gear for exploring the bay and nearby blue holes. We highly recommend a visit to Riri Blue Hole, just a 30-minute kayak ride from the Lodge! For lunch and dinner, all guests will be sharing our Fare kitchen which is fully equipped with a fridge, gas stove, oven, cooking utensils, storage facilities, a dining area overlooking the beach, so you can prepare your own meals. It also features an open fire & bbq place, hanging hammock and swings over the colorful lagoon. We recommend bringing your own food supplies from town (20 minutes away), as the closest shops and banks are located there. For dining alternatives, two local restaurants are just a 5-minute drive from the lodge, and a catering service is available with advance booking (48 hours’ notice; closed on weekends; menu available upon request). Please note that as a small operation, we do not offer full-time reception, however, our team is always ready to assist and accommodate whenever possible.

Neighbourhood information

We are located at only 20 minute drive from town, there are also 2 restaurants within a 5 minute drive of the Lodge and a small fruit/veggie Sunday market in the area. Matevulu Lodge is the only accommodation located between Riri and Matevulu Blueholes, both accessible by an easy half hour walk. Or choose to kayak up their pristine river, Riri Bluehole being at a comfortable half hour paddling distance under the native lush canopy. Explore the bay, snorkel the surrounding reefs, take a boat trip to the islands or go surfing. And why not just float down Riri river until the Lodge for a well deserved hammock nap. You can do as much or as little as you want.
