    The ranchslider was hard to open and close and the kitchen drawers the same.

    Secluded rustic villas right on the beach. Great shower and kitchen facilities. Large fridge freezer and free access to a washing machine. All in all a great place to stay, we have already re-booked

    I know water issues are a norm in the islands but the water was a bit smelly when having a shower, We only drank bottled water or water from one of the water stations on the island.

    Sat on our decks and had fantastic view of the lagon. Just a walk up the beach to a great snorkling spot. Had good chairs out on the beach to read books.

    The bed was a bit soft and spongy, hard to avoid waking each other up.

    The beachfront location is fantastic. Felt very private. Beautiful view, sunset over the water, great swimming nearby and you can easily reach all the different parts of the island from here by moped. The lodge is a good size and has a great kitchen (including large fridge and oven). Shower also great. Access to kayaks was appreciated. Property is well maintained. Always a pleasure to come back to after the day's activities. Our host was very helpful with arranging transport and storing luggage - thank you T! We would very happily stay again.

    Wish we were allowed late checkout as our flight was late in the evening.

    Exceptional views. Safe . Warm welcome at airport by the host with a garland of flowers, took us around the island to show us the the close by restaurants and amenities. Free kayaks and snorkel gear. Friendly staff who gave us free coconuts. Best place to stay !

    Wifi was glitchy but recommended to purchase a vodafone sim.

    Fabulous with breathtaking views from the bungalow of the beach and lagoon. Absolute beachfront & makes you feel like you have this piece of tropical paradise all to yourself. Very tidy, everything you need for a self-contained holiday. The location is close proximity to the prettiest island’s landscape, lagoon/reefs cafes/restaurants/bars, and everyone is so friendly. Tearoa was a wonderful host. She personally provided transfers, organized our scooter hire and lagoon tour, took us to the local shops for supplies and was contactable at all times. Seaside made you feel the sense of ‘island time’. Would definitely stay there again.

    Probably need own wheels ( we hired a mini-truck. Scooters also a fun option) as a fair distance to main town area.

    Beachside location. Lovely lagoon view, with sunset over water. Very good snorkeling about 200m up beach ( can also snorkel directly out front, but not as many fish) . Comfortable, semi-private self-contained bungalows. Kayaks.

    That we couldn't stay longer 💖

    Everything. Stunning location, everyone is so friendly. The weather was beautiful 😍 bed was comfy, there is air conditioning for those hot evenings... New fridge, everything was there that you needed to self cater. The room was very clean. The gardens lovely. The location is great to everything. You will need a vehicle to get around the island,. It's way more fun that way ... But there are nice eateries within walking distance...

    Not about the property but limited grocery items ie fruit and veggies on Aitutaki

    My husband and I stayed here for three days in late June 2025. If you are after the perfect beach view direct from your room but set apart from other guests then this is the place for you. They are self contained bungalows with only two other bungalows onsite but they are completely separate from each other and not set too close giving a sense of solitude and having your own slice of paradise. The kitchen is fully equipped with electric hobs and cooking items. Suggest that you bring your grocery items from Rarotonga for cooking as grocery options are limited on Aitutaki and we would have loved to cook and eat on the front balcony to enjoy the views for longer. There are also restaurants at the nearby resorts which are a short beach walk (15-20min) away. Walking back at night you are surrounded by beautiful stars. Walking past the other resorts we were very glad we stayed at the Seaside as the Seaside appeared newer, set further apart from each other giving that feeling of being away from it all. Free washing machine available for use. The owner Tearoa is so lovely and welcoming and it was an easy booking process. Highly recommend staying at the Seaside - great value for money and views that are hard to beat!

    If you don't have some type of transportation, getting around would be challenging.

    Greeted at the airport with a lei by Tearoa and led to the property for check-in. Amazing location right on the water. The property is a great value for the money. We ate a couple meals at the unit and had everything we needed. The property has a Vodafone hotspot that provides internet access with purchase of a voucher.

    A note for others is that is a bit ‘out of the way’ compared to other accommodation. We were happy to use a scooter so it didn’t bother us.

    We loved being in a more secluded piece of paradise with access to kayaks. It was comfortable and very peaceful.
