The breakfast, while good, was a little lacking in options.

Everything was above and beyond. The outdoor showers were awesome. Great snorkeling out front. Close to a couple places to eat . Can rent Escooters onsite which was awesome. We stayed 3 nights , then 2 nights in One Foot Island and now 2 nights elsewhere on island....I wish we had returned to Etu Moana

There was nothing we disliked!

This property is absolutely beautiful! The grounds are just what you would expect for a South Pacific island experience.

Nothing. We loved it.

The thing we loved the most was the staff. Such a great team, thank you everyone, especially Te Rangi.

Etu Moana is a low key but exceptional place to stay, beautiful gardens and a wonderful beach. Felt that it was so attuned with the island

Stayed in March 2024

Nice and close to the beach

Roosters crowing was really annoying

Kindness and availability of the managers, location, breakfast and mobility otions

The lighting in the bathroom was quite dim but workable.

Breakfast was great. Having it poolside was lovely and the staff were excellent.

Great breakfast variety, friendly staff and service by the pool - lovely location to be starting the day

The local roosters are very noisy, sometimes at 3am non stop, so I suggest ear plugs which we had for our flight. You sort of get used to them. The rain head shower could be better, not as hot as we would like and the flow is low. But otherwise we can't complain.

If it's peaceful atmosphere your looking for you will definently love Etu Moana. The villas are really beautiful. We loved the ocean view villa. The staff are really lovely which says alot about Management. Breakfast is enjoyable, always nice and fresh. The gardens and beach area are lovely and beautifully maintained. Kayaks, paddle boards and accessories are available which we enjoyed using. Push bikes are also included and electric scooters for $10 a day are great fun (I hesitated then we used them on the last day and loved it). Or book scooters from Rino ahead is probably a good idea. The island isn't very big but for a decent look around I suggest using scooters. It's an easy walk to Tamanu Beachfront Restaurant (Islander night a must) and if your keen for a longer one the Pacific Resort is highly recommended.

Guests should be aware of limited lunch and dinner options both at the resort and surrounds (depending on day of the week). Breakfast is included. My advice is to plan ahead if possible for meals. The Etu Moana team can provide plenty of options ahead of time for your consideration. We didn’t make use of the kitchenette as we decided to eat out but it was reasonably equipped given its remote island location. Grocery supplies on Aitutaki can be limited.

A beautiful boutique property in a relaxing location. The sunsets across the lagoon were stunning. Each day we SUPed in the lagoon and saw turtles, rays and other reef fish. I’ll definitely stay there again if I return to Aitutaki.

The Bathroom was very dark it was very hard to see in the bathroom. There was a led light but it was broken. The Beach was lovely but shallow to swim even at full tide.

The Villa was spacious. The beach was a few steps away. Plenty of loungers. The Staff were just lovely from the Hosts to the Gardener and the Cleaners. The Local Ladies that provided breakfast around the Pool were amazing, it was always a lovely experience having breakfast. There was an Honesty Bar which was easy and the pool was clean.

The villas were gorgeous with their palm thatched roofs and the grounds beautiful with pathways down to the swimming pool/bar area and the beach. Tiffany was very helpful and guests could have the use of a buggie to go to a restaurant or for a little sightseeing. Whilst there was no restaurant on-site guests are offered different meals in the evening by the pool. The fish n chip night food was delicious and the breakfasts tasty. All in all a wonderfully relaxed stay with great hosts and staff

Fantastic breakfast by the pool every morning

Stayed in July 2023

Great breakfasts and friendly helpful management and staff. Loved having the use of electric mopeds on site which helped us explore the island and go places for lunch or dinner. Beautiful garden setting which was so quiet and relaxing. Rooms are well-appointed and close to beach. Paddleboards and kyaks available. Well ventilated rooms with insect screens - didn't have to use the air-conditioning (in July at least) Great place for sunsets

The staff is very welcoming and the property is gorgeous! Great gardens and right on the beach. The staff goes above and beyond to make sure you have a comfortable stay - even helping coordinate delivery from a nearby restaurant! Our favorite part was the free use of an electric golf cart. It was a great way to tour around the island and we saw a lot more than we otherwise would have.

Stayed in June 2023

It could be a good idea if the beds were upgraded as they are not hotel quality and a duvet blanket would make it feel more luxury rather than just a sheet.

This place is by far the best choice you could make if you like a botique style experience.

Stayed in May 2023

Beautifully designed bathrooms but the lighting is not good and the water pressure is not really strong enough for a rain head shower.

Breakfast was included in the price. Free access to scooters, kayaks. Loved the swimming pool. Beautiful gardens. Great hosts - Tiffany and Jeff.

Stayed in April 2023

We had regular and clear communication and the in-person service from Jeff and Tiffany was superb - from airport pickup, to arrival, to making bookings for us. And the rest of the staff at breakfast and room-cleaning were also very friendly. Having the electric cart and bikes to tour the island was also great.

Loved everything! Straight from Steve doing the airport pick up everything was amazing. We came over with no plans and Jane soon changed that. Organised a cruise, cooked us pizza, organised scooter, breakfast, honesty bar…. everything! Great breakfast. All of the staff were amazing. Loved it so much here. I’m glad the roosters woke me up because i didn’t want to miss anything hahaha. Everything looks exactly like the pictures.
