Nothing, no complaints

The Bungalows are so comfortable, have everything you need for a great holiday and well located. Hosts are amazing, wish we could have stayed longer.

We would have appreciated brighter lighting for reading in the living room and bedroom. Also the availability of somewhere to hang wet swimwear and towels would have been helpful.

Beautiful place to visit. Compact and comfortable units. Lovely host support. Right on the beach with shade from coconut palms - loungers were provided. Well located to drive to anywhere on the island - a hired car or scooter is a must. No buses! Would definitely recommend Paparei bungalows.

Nothing.

Location was great. Bungalows were tidy and have everything you want! Breakfast was perfect, and there was even enough for a snack later 🤤 Hosts were lovely and friendly! Wished we stayed longer!

Personalised and lovely service by the hosts, who anticipated many of our needs and helped us with towel hire, airport transfers etc. The property has filtered and treated tap water and an electric stove which we made good use of. Meitaki maata!

There is nothing to improve. This accommodation is heaven.

Host was amazingly helpful and organised transfers to and from the airport. If you find more to ask for, the problem is you. Location was amazing. Paradise!

Leaving Paparei :((((

We had the most wonderful time at Paparei Beachfront Bungalows. Vicky and Peter were the nicest hosts you can imagine. The bungalow was very clean, the bed was so comfy, delicious breakfast and the view…stunning! There are hammocks right at the beach. You can chill out in a hammock and watch the beautiful sunset. There is a great place for dinner just across the road, it’s called Wokkai. The food was delicious!

lovely bungalows- modern and very clean and Tidy. gorgeous setting and lovely owners and staff - very helpful and friendly

Airflow is blocked by the tree in front of the bungalow. It meant we couldn’t use the balcony because it was a heat trap. Also, the tree is blocking the direct view to the beach which wasn’t disclosed on booking. Photos just show the beach with no blockage of view.

Nice layout. Clean & tidy. Lovely hosts.

Great facilities over all. The bed is a bit firm but comfortable - good to know in case you prefer a softer bed.

We really enjoyed our 2-night stay at Paparei. The location and setting is spectacular, calm and private, with only one other bungalow beside you. The staff and owners are very kind and helpful e.g. calling a restaurant to book for us (Resort Tava'e - very good) and offering their reef shoes (do wear these in the water out front). The water directly out front was very calm when we were there, but also a bit murky as a result. We recommend taking a boat tour in the lagoon for the best snorkeling. We went with Kia Orana Cruises - great value for money!

Right on the beach. Very private. Friendly welcoming helpful hosts. Walking distance to cafes.

We loved it all!

The beach was so beautiful! The location was excellent, total beachfront.The Bungalow was spotless and very comfortable. The banana lounges, shaded by palm trees, right on the beach were great! It felt very private. Our Hosts Vicki & Peter were so helpful, warm & friendly, we were sorry to leave. Thanks for a great stay. Helen & Kevin

Paparei is a modern villa right on the beach ,nice outdoor deck area and inside it is modern and clean with heaps of thoughtful inclusions. There is a great coffee/ dinner shop only a very short walk from it. Staff are helpful and friendly

Stayed in April 2025

Wifi never worked (but we did not care) Shower was not great- water inconsistent going from a low flow to a tad bit stronger and then going from ice cold to boiling hot without touching the tap leaver. (Only an issue as I had to be extra careful with my 2 year old in the shower)

Well equipped self-catering unit. Really has everything you could need. Right at the waters edge. BBQ facilities available, but we did not get time to use it. Amazing views! Even had toys for little ones. Great hosts. Would recommend to anyone. Hopefully we can come back one day!

Loved everything about this property nothing to dislike

Katrina the daughter of the owners was absolutely unbelievable. There was a few technical issues when we arrived and she had them all sorted with a personal visit. She even took us to the shop to get some groceries, beautiful beautiful place to stay immaculate grounds out the front. There’s a swimming hole channel that’s just a few hundred metres up the beach overall could not fault. Across the road there is a fantastic little coffee shop for breakfast and they do lovely Asian food for dinner. Had the best sausage roll ever. Not really recommend this location and property.

Beach area was beautiful but a little disappointing as it was a tidal sandy area, appeared a bit more enticing on booking. That said, only 400m walk along beach to nearby resort and great snorkelling and sandy beaches. Could also benefit with a couple of simple push bikes and a few sets of snorkels to help travellers get about as no public transport on the island and for those unprepared snorkels would help elevate their experience.

Comfortable accomodation for two with everything you needed. Bed was comfy, aircon and fans in rooms and full kitchen. Walk down to the water and plenty of hammocks and chairs. Surprise welcome gift left in fridge as well, a delicious treat from a local cafe. Opposite great Wok takeaway shop and short walk into town and groceries, more simple dining options. Very good value option, hosts and caretaker were just amazing and very friendly / kind.
