A quiet well equipped spacious bungalow but within a larger campus. Hence a large swimming pool. Right next to the bus and the ocean on the doorstep. Couple of pointers for improvement - wifi didn’t work in the bungalow but we used a hot spot from my phone to connect for my wife. And the path to the beach looked perilous. I realise to fix would take a lot of effort for just one bungalow. Plenty of quality eateries in easy walk

Perfect little retreat

My daughter and I stayed for 6 days, it was such a lovely little get away and perfect for our needs. Jaewyn and her family are super friendly and helpful. My daughter especially loved waking up to see the ducklings and chickens running around the lawn.

Very helpful and welcoming owners

Lovely owners who make you feel welcome and part of their family (tropical fruit platter, Sunday doughnuts …). Welcome us at our late night arrival at the airport. Gave us precious local information and even organize our trip to Aitutaki. Our boys loved playing with their very nice young teenager boy. Very rare and amazing people.
