Unfortunatley, we could stay for only one night, but we thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The location is stunning, with great coral and goregeous sandy beaches. The accomodation is spotlessly clean, well maintained and perfect for the location. The hosts are friendly, kind, attentive and informative - almost as if they were welcoming us into their own home, which in... More

We had a wonderful time at Matafonua. We chose to spend a week there to experience a tropical idyll with our family group of 7 kids (age 3-10) plus another 9 parents and grandparents. We all had an awesome week there. The location is stunning. Gorgeous swimming and snorkeling straight off the beaches, crystal clear water, teeming with marine life.... More

My husband and I stayed at Matfonua Lodge in February and had an incredible time! The location is absolutely stunning and with the accommodation being right next to the beach, we awoke every morning to fantastic views. The owners (Darren and Nina) are extremely welcoming and friendly; within the first few minutes of meeting them, we felt as though we... More

Stayed four nights in January 2012. Very cool spot, right at the tip of Foa Island looking across to Nukunamo Island. Nina and Darren are great fun, genuine hosts and look after you very well. Quite a busy place which we liked as it was very social and a nice change from more remote spots in Tonga. Activites are plentiful... More

The fales on the beach are fantastic, basic but the location is perfect.The hosts Nina and Dareen are friendly and they will go out of there way to accommodate you. Meals are an informal affair with guests all sitting together in the evening. The hosts do not find you bringing your own alcohol to the evening meal if you do... More

If you are looking for a quiet laid back place to relax, where nothing needs to be planned out for you to have a great time, then this small boutique resort is the answer. We enjoyed every moment that we spent here, it was everything we were looking for. From doing as little as possible like sitting on the porch... More

We stayed at Matafonua lodge for a week in Dec 2011. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel very welcome by hosts Darren and Nina, and shown to our beautiful fale, just a few steps from the beach. A typical day starts with a leisurely breakfast overlooking the sparkling lagoon, followed by world class snorkelling or diving... More

What a great place to experience a fantastic holiday! A slice of paradise - and we stayed a few extra days, we enjoyed it so much. Darren and Nina were excellent hosts, and found the time to cater to our needs and make us feel more than welcome. Their Tongan staff were friendly, accommodating and cheerful. It's the island life!... More
