We stayed in Villa 100 , on beachfront which we were so impressed with. It was huge !. Had its own private entrance onto beach right by lagoon , a front open lounge / dining area with roof , that looked out on stunning views of lagoon and beach : no other thatched cottages/ villas either side , so very private. Next to pool . Kitchenette area was well stocked with coffee machine , fridge , freezer , electric plug in hob , basic kitchen equipment. Bedroom was huge , with great air con and also ceiling fans , with very large double shower ensuite and separate toilet. The ambience of the resort is very friendly , all staff in restaurant were lovely . Food is exceptional at night and at breakfast. Options to walk down beach from here to other resort bars if needed. Their Cultural Island Feast with dancing performance & music was incredible . A huge buffet to help yourself from and live music , Polynesian local dancing. We loved staying at Tamaru . The Manager checked on everyone staying which was great customer service. Highly recommend this place .

Our stay at this beachfront resort on Aitutaki was unforgettable. The lagoon is breathtaking, with crystal-clear turquoise water, snorkelling and kayaking gear are available at the resort. The staff were genuinely welcoming and went out of their way to make us feel at home. Special thanks to front office girls Rangi and Manora. The rooms were comfortable, spacious, clean, and thoughtfully designed with a kitchenette. We especially loved watching the sunsets from the beach, with the sky glowing in shades of gold, pink, and orange.

The Aitutaki Seaside bungalows are perfect for a couple looking for a vacation hideaway. You have kitchen facilities so you can cook your own food, an outside shower so you can wash off the beach sand (and there is plenty of that), and they're air conditioned so you have great comfort all the time. You're met at the airport and ushered to your place with dispatch. And the manager is easy to get hold of abs helpful. She arranged our rental car for us, advised us regarding lagoon cruises, and pretty much made sure we had everything we needed. And the beach is less than 100 metres from the front door. How can you go wrong?

It is difficult to take a photo of an island paradise and do it justice. Tai Roto is a truly amazing place to stay. The staff are like one big family make you feel like you are part of it. The attention to detail with the room presentation and the breakfast served to you room each morning is fit for Kings and Queens which we certainly felt like. Yes the internet is not the best but you would spoil your holiday if you had it. There’s the Koru cafe a short walk up the road if you need access. Enjoy the isolation from the outside world..it’s truly an experience

Our two-week stay at Are Kapakapa was absolutely incredible. This family-run gem offers a unique blend of comfort, hospitality, and natural beauty that truly makes it stand out. From the moment we arrived, Vaa and Joliene, the wonderful hosts who manage the property, welcomed us with such warmth and genuine care that we instantly felt at home. Their attention to detail and commitment to ensuring our stay was perfect made the experience unforgettable. The property itself is a slice of paradise. Surrounded by lush coconut trees, the entire house exudes a peaceful charm. One of the highlights of our stay was the close proximity to the beach—just a short walk away. It’s hands down one of the best beaches we’ve ever visited, with pristine sands and crystal-clear waters that made every moment there magical. The house is fantastic—spacious, immaculately clean, and well-equipped to provide a cozy and comfortable experience. The cool sea breeze and the thoughtful layout of the house ensured we were always comfortable. It’s clear that Vaa and Joliene have put great effort into making Are Kapakapa a home away from home for their guests. Another highlight of our stay was exploring the fruit trees around the property. The coconuts were a delightful treat, perfect for a refreshing snack after spending time at the beach. Every aspect of Are Kapakapa reflects the love and effort that Vaa and Joliene pour into their hospitality. The combination of the peaceful atmosphere, thoughtful amenities, and personal touches made our stay truly special. Whether you’re enjoying the serenity of the house, savoring fresh coconuts, or soaking up the beauty of the nearby beach, it’s an experience that stays with you. If you’re searching for a place that combines comfort, natural beauty, and an authentic family vibe, Are Kapakapa is the ideal choice. We left with cherished memories and are already counting down the days until we can return!

We absolutely loved our stay at Matriki! Although we spent four nights there, it felt far too short. Matthias is an exceptional host, full of fascinating knowledge about Aitutaki and its history, making every conversation insightful. We also joined his boat tour around the lagoon, which was truly unforgettable. Unlike other tour companies, Matthias takes his time, ensuring you can fully relax and enjoy the experience without ever feeling rushed.

Our stay at Sunset Bungalow was absolutely perfect! From the very beginning, we received a warm welcome – we were even picked up directly from the airport. A special thanks goes to Dilen, who took excellent care of us from start to finish. Whether it was organizing tours, arranging transportation, or answering any questions, everything was handled smoothly and professionally. We truly felt well looked after at all times. Everything we needed was available, and we especially appreciated that drinking water could be refilled free of charge anytime. Getting around was also very easy, as bicycles, scooters, and cars were always available for rent. Another big plus was that our room was already ready early in the morning, allowing us to check in right away. Due to availability, we even received a complimentary upgrade, which we greatly appreciated. The bungalow itself had everything we needed, was very clean, and all appliances worked perfectly. What we particularly loved were the sealed mosquito nets on the doors and windows. This allowed us to keep the windows open at all times, enjoy the soothing sound of the ocean, and not worry about any mosquitoes getting inside – so we didn’t even need air conditioning. The absolute highlight of the accommodation is its peaceful location. The beach was right in front of us, and it felt like we had it almost entirely to ourselves. Each bungalow also had its own outdoor shower, which was a fantastic extra touch. We would come back anytime and would definitely choose the same place again. We were even granted a late check-out and then driven back to the airport – a level of service that truly stands out. Thank you so much for this unforgettable stay – we highly recommend Sunset 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
