    Given we stayed for 5 days we would have welcomed fresh towels halfway through - we could have asked (but we're not very good at doing that!).

    We really appreciated Vaea's warm welcome and hospitality (the lei were beautiful); airport transfers included in the price; taking us to the supermarket so we could stock up on food for our holiday; and a wee tour. All email questions / communication were efficiently answered before we arrived. Any issues were swiftly dealt with.

    Thanks Kii & Vaea, staying at Taiinu for our first visit to Aitutaki was everything we hoped for. Taiinu had a true island bungalow feel. We enjoyed the privacy & being only steps away from the beach. Loved jumping on the scooter to find all the little places to eat & explore the island. Vaea helped point us in the right direction for everything local. We also loved the private snorkel tour with Kii… this is a must. We hadn’t snorkelled for some time but felt safe & enjoyed every minute as Kii shared his knowledge of the lagoon with us. Can’t thank you both enough. Hope to visit again.

    Nothing really.

    We had a lovely time at the bungalow on the stunning island of Aitutaki. Vaea was very helpful and met us at the airport. The room has all you need but not snorkeling gear. Bed was very comfy and although the beach is not that great here for swimming being quite shallow, it is a short drive to some beautiful beaches and the Lagoon.

    We loved the very comfortable bungalow, with traditional touches in furnishings and amazing garden setting. Our hosts were amazing too and we learnt so much about Aitutaki. Also we thoroughly recommend Marino Tours lagoon day cruise if the islands, snorkelling & island walks.

    Cockerels take a bit of getting used to!

    The host was first rate from pick up to drop off for the return flight. Fruit and full carton of milk in room on arrival were most welcome and an orientation tour was an excellent bonus. Location was great with good swimming and snorkeling a short walk along the beach. Scooter hire on site was very convenient and an excellent form of transport on the island although I would prefer helmets to be available. No dogs roaming the property was great too.

    We were greeted at the airport by Vaea with the most fragrant flower eis placed around our necks and then transported to our beautiful little bungalow which had everything we needed for our stay (16 nights), the aircon was definitely a plus as we visited during Dec-Jan (very hot during this time) we were also greeted with a colouful array of assorted fresh fruits (which we devoured lol). The location was nice and secluded with just a short stroll down to the crystal blue waters and white sandy beach. We also booked a couple of bikes/scooters through the hosts, which is so convenient and easy to get around the island. Cannot wait to visit again 😊

    Not in walking distance from where the boats go so you just need a car. The host was super helpful in helping us source one.

    Kii met us at the airport with beautiful ei's for each of us, he was so friendly and shared lots of interesting facts about the island. We saw Kii a few times during our stay, always friendly and helpful, but he was never obtrusive. The bungalow had a beautiful tropical garden setting with walk to the beach at the end of the driveway. The beach although shallow was full of fish, and the area at the end of the old runway was a short walk with very good snorkelling. Some live coral and huge variety of tropical fish to be seen there. Excellent sunset views from the beach while having takeaways from Aunty Odeez - recommend the chicken burger with island fries. We can also recommend Teking Lagoon tours if Kii's private charters are fully booked. The bungalow was very comfortable, with beautiful fresh fruit and basics provided at the start of our stay. Great to be able to have the Scooter to hire on site, this was an excellent way to see the island.

    The bungalow was very clean and airy. Comfortable bed and cosy space. Covered outside seating area and garden feel. It also felt private. Extra: bungalow has a phone you can use to call hosts or even local tours and restaurant. When we arrived they had a box a fruit a carton of milk. That made all the difference to us.
