Mataika House stands as a fine example of colonial architecture in Suva, originally built as a residence for European settlers. Today, it serves as government offices, but its exterior remains a landmark worth seeing. The building's verandas and timber construction reflect Fiji's colonial past. While interiors are not open to the public, the house's setting and design offer a glimpse into Suva's history.
