    Nothing bad to say.

    Location close to the airport and other posher hotels, beachfront basic villa with everything we needed. Yummy delicious breakfast delivered to the door, airport transfers. The staff even cleaned the beachfront, more than some of the others do! Nice friendly host. Couldn't fault the place. Would definitely stay there again.

    Property is in need of a revamp to tidy up the kitchen and bathroom. We ate out every night but there was a hot plate. Our room had pots but our friends did not. We had a bottle opener- they didn’t. Just need a bit more care with what is supplied to each bungalow.

    The location right on the beach was perfect. Could walk from the bungalow straight onto the sand and into the beautiful blue water of the lagoon. We were there for seven nights for a fishing trip. The bungalows are basic but the bed was comfortable and clean. The balcony faces the sea and the sunset and were perfect to sit out on. Breakfast was delivered every morning- fruit, bread, jam and butter, juice and cereal and milk. The bungalows are perfect for their location and price. Look elsewhere if you want a more upmarket place to stay

    Shower could be cleaner and felt that the receptionist seemed grumpy. Admitly she is not the one on holiday but having a happy disposition makes guests feel happy asking questions etc. The neighbors burning plastic on the odd occasion wasnt pleasant.

    Great location on the beach. Brilliant view and lovely swimming spot. Beautiful sunsets from your deck.

    Few odd maintenance things like shower dripping and basin taps both dripping constantly, light on deck not working and curtain wire fell down a couple of times. All minor so not reported

    Chalets were lovely location, close together without being too close, lovely view over the beach and sea, very peaceful

    Affordable Waterfront Accomodation with Great Swimming Area

    Not necessarily a bad thing but something to be aware of - it is about a 3km walk into the main town which can be pretty warm on a hot day, so we would recommend arranging some form of transport such as car/scooter/bicycle to access the main town and visit Ootu beach sometime whilst staying here.

    A very affordable and relaxing stay on Aitutaki! We were welcomed by the accomodation staff at the airport and were given a frangipani necklace and received free airport transfers. The bungalow was very comfortable and in an amazing location - Such beautiful water and reefs straight out the front of the bungalows. There is good food, drinks and happy hour located at the restaurant located on the accomodation grounds 3 nights per week and a yummy and affordable takeaway store 2 doors down. We loved it so much we extended our stay and the reception were very helpful. Daily breakfast was served at 8am and was always very good. There is a wifi hotspot at the accommodation and kayaks available for hire. Would definitely recommend for all travellers and we would return to stay here in the future.

    I really liked the property but it’s old and well worn in the rooms, my friend didn’t feel her deck was safe. And their beds needed replacing- ours was good. I wish the kayaks were included and not extra.

    Beautiful beach location. Conveniently located to takeaway food. Really helpful staff. Great breakfast included.

    nothing really. Oh yes the bar on the premises was only open on a Wednesday and Saturday evening, could have opened more evenings as the staff were very friendly, especially at happy hour.

    Location was excellent, breakfast good, the cooking facilities were very basic, however we eat out every night. Accommodation could be upgraded keeping the character of the beach accommodation. ie one of the neighbourhood beach houses, where upgraded and looked far better.

    I can't really fault the accommodation to be honest. There is an on site bar which only ended up being open for the Saturday night of our stay, not too sure if this was due to staffing or low numbers of patrons at the time. Aitutaki itself it a quiet island with not all bars and restaurants opening daily anyway so wasn't beyond the norm.

    Loved the location, just like the photos it was right on the water with a clean beach clear of litter. The staff were really helpful, provided pick up and drop off to the airport and brought breakfast up to our bungalow each morning. Air con in the bungalow was a massive bonus too! Would 100% stay again.

    It was very tired, some floor tiles were cracked, doors didn’t shut properly, the shower had paint coming off, the taps dripped in the shower and basin. The toilet was badly stained. Generally it needed a lot of love inside and out.

    The beach front location was epic. The clear warm sea was joyous to bathe in. The fresh breakfasts were lovely.
