Peaceful and beautiful

This beautiful villa in the heart of Aitutaki is amazing. We stayed for 5 nights and soaked up the experience of being surrounded by the locals. The Villa provides everything you could ask for in a holiday stay. Our host was amazing, organising airport transfers, scooters and advice on where to find supplies. We travelled as a family of 4 and the space was perfect for our needs. If you’re keen to avoid the trappings of resorts, we highly recommend this villa.

Great home in Aiutaki

Our stay at this home was wonderful. Full kitchen and filtered water from the tap as well as plenty of seating and a nice bathroom, perfect place to stay in Aitutaki. Not within walking distance to the beach but walking distance to town and shops. The island is easy to get around so getting to the beach is easy. Everyone was so kind and friendly and the folks we interacted with for the rental were so accommodating and kind. Definitely made the stay that much better. We would highly recommend it!

Awesome stay!

We had such a great stay! Upon our arrival to Aitutaki, we were greeted by Mii's lovely co host with beautiful Lei's (flower neckalce) for each of us. We then followed the co host by car to our location which was super helpful, especially since we landed during the night. The place was very nice with plenty of land surrounding it making it nice and private and the view from the deck was stunning. Fans inside the home were a lifesaver we didn't even feel the need to use the aircon. Overall was a very tidy and great place to stay would definitely stay again 😊

Aitutaki is gorgeous, and it was nice to have a spacious house with many amenities. Comfortable beds, fully stocked kitchen with a much appreciated welcome fruit basket and juice/milk in the fridge, good sized bathroom with some small toiletries and things past guests have left (thank you for the bug spray!), fans for cooling, nice view from the balcony, lots of space to spread out and relax. Host communication was just ok. It was great to check in early since our flight arrived from Raro at 10, and host arranged for a taxi to pick us up. But when we arrived, there was no house manual or instructions or info at all, the local house manager called after a few hours and we ended up going to her office to ask questions, but then she went to New Zealand and we had no one to ask- the host still has not replied 2 weeks later. The oven had no door, the safe was broken, and there were ants everywhere (we sprayed and disinfected several times, and made sure no open food was out or in the trash- also no place outside to take the trash). Listing also says free wifi- this is not accurate, it’s a Vodafone hotspot and you need to buy data to use it. We rented a scooter and it was delivered and picked up from the house which is great. We enjoyed our stay but having more info and communication could have made it better.

Some surprises here

Great location. The house cannot be described as a luxury villa, like most of the accommodation on Aitutaki, it is tired. The steps leading to the house are in need of repair with the wood splintered in many places, so not the best for bare feet. The interior walls are in need of a paint job, with scuff marks, garks and dirty marks in many places. The upstand of the kitchen bench is coming away from the wall, some of the louvres are broken and there is mould in the grouting of the bathroom. The biggest surprise was being collected at the airport with what I understood was a complimentary transfer but instead was an extra $100.00.

Unfortunatley there was some miscommunication when we arrived so the place needed cleaning however the wonderful Villa Manager cleaned the place up lovely for us. She also gave us a lovely delivery of fruit and there was plent of basic supplies like milk, tea, coffee, juice and plenty of filtered water. We loved being down the road from the fabulous Avatea cafe who serve amazing food and the best coffee on the island.

Family Stay

We booked this property amid COVID uncertainty, the host was very accomodating of circumstances. The property was ideal for our family, the proximity to the port to catch boat out to kitesurf was very convenient.You ideally need a car and these were in limited supply so book ahead. The villa is very comfortable and well equipped. The only downside was that when we arrived the villa wasn’t available for us to go into straight off our flight so we had some hanging around which wasn’t ideal, next time I’ll be onto this. The manager was very kind and took us to shops and such and was very easy to communicate with. Would recommend this property and will be back to beautiful Aitutaki, thanks for sharing paradise.

Stay in Paradise

Thank you to owner Mii and host Meali for professionalism of service. We were greeted with welcome arms and lei's at the airport~transported directly to our holiday villa (with fresh fruits). Staying at 'Te Vai Moana' was a definite highlight and made our trip of a lifetime to Aitutaki, that more special. My family enjoyed the aircon, modern facilities and impressive decor/ high ceilings, ocean sunrise and sunset views and of course my children enjoyed fresh coconuts from trees and chasing the chickens around. Through rain, sunshine, evenings, beach outings and on Christmas Day~returning back to the villa felt like home away from home. Its a hotel resort experience with the convenience for a family and we felt we were in paradise. The phone and internet áccess made bookings with local car hire service/ taxi/ cruise and medical facilities easily accesible. With walking distance to town centre we were not only impressed by the convenience but especially how awesome the whole experience was of staying at the 'Te Vai Moana' . On behalf of my husband, mum and myself, A very big Thank you ~Meitaki Mata Atupaka
