    Tidy and well maintained - you can see the beach from the balcony which is nice for when it's a bit too windy to be on the beach. Kayaks and snorkelling gear provided was much appreciated as well as the communication from owner in assisting with airport transfers etc.

    It was a great place with all the amenities. The host was always available to answer questions and help when needed. The snorkeling right off the beach was fantastic. We loved waking up feeling like we were up in the palm trees as we looked out the windows at the reef!

    From the moment I arrived, this property offered everything I was looking for in a vacation retreat. From the spacious, clean, open-air and light-filled living quarters to the proximity to the beach, it was a week of relaxing pleasure. The description and photos of the property were accurate. The property managers were gracious and quick to respond to any questions that I had. I'm already longing to return to this wonderful retreat!

    Absolutely beautiful place. Not far to walk to beautiful beach. Very private. We saw whales from our deck, highlight of the trip. House is extremely well equipped. There is 2 small houses in front of you but you still get great views up high. Please take ear plugs for the dogs constantly barking through the whole night and rosters from around 2am onwards. Also house could do with i net catching device for the lizards that get in. So uou can let them out nicely.Great place.

    This is our second stay in this apartment, which says it all really - we love it. Very comfortable, modern and well equipped, and in a lovely, peaceful part of the island. The beach is right there, Vaima restaurant next door and Wigmores store down the road.

    Few steps to lagoon & beach with nice swimming with access to SUP’s & kayaks. Wigmores store was just a short walk & great for provisions. Accomodation was as described, comfortable, well-provisioned & very clean. Nice big balcony with views of lagoon & great to have the bbq. Meitaki Sarah & Adam.
