Self-Catering Accommodations in Avatele

I met the owner on the flight to Niue (small world). Very nice and respectful guy. He waited until I clear immigration/customs and get my car rental to show me the property (which he didn’t really need to do). The property is great and a much better alternative to the overcrowded resorts. It is cozy and felt like home. The area is a couple of minutes from town. Definitely recommend staying here to really get a feel of the island

Great no frills accommodation, short walk from local shops. The water from the tap is safe to drink but we found it wasn't refreshing and had a taste, there is a filtered water station a short walk away. We brought a couple of 3L bottles and filled them up and kept them chilled. Fridge is a good size to keep a few coconuts cool ready to drink. Accommodation is set back from the main road. Bed was comfortable. 2 beach towels were also supplied which was great. There is a ceiling fan in the main area and 2 other portable fans which are definitely needed to keep the place cool. There is a couple of different brooms which were helpful to keep the floor clean (very easy to walk bits inside as there is no paths which seems typical for the island) Handful of really good restaurants 10min drive away. Definitely recommend hiring a car, the island isn't made for walking. Hosts were very helpful with local tips and responded quickly to our questions, a very relaxing stay would highly recommend staying here.
