By the second and third day of our stay, we were just starting to truly unwind and settle into life in paradise. It was bliss and so unbelievably serene. Just the two of us. Unfortunately we had to leave this idyllic picturesque landscape. Our stay was too short.

Our booking was very last minute so we really appreciated the immediate response to our request. Airport pickup/drop off was so well received by us both. Took the stress off us to organize. We were not expecting to hire a car but we did with the help from staff who arranged everything for us. We were spoilt. Our room met our needs but our beachfront access was the absolute picture perfect paradise.

Super nice bungalows, right at the beach ! Wonderful view! It’s a great place to stay. Nice staff. You can easily rent scooters or get a kayak. Eating possibilities are close by.

I could not open a coconut. I’ve tried, but I think I have to go back to learn that skill.

The room was perfect, clean and around ten meters from the lagoon - which by the way I think is one of the most beautiful on the island. The place was calm - like the whole island. Our host was amazing! She was very helpful and kind. Restaurants and cafe in walking distance. I can only recommend the place!

Terrific place. The bungalow is well-equipped and comfortable, and the location and view are terrific, right on the beach. Chantelle on reception was excellent, picking me up from the airport and dropping me off on departure day, and answering all my questions. She booked a boat trip for me, and I had a great day out. Years ago, I used to work with tourists just one day a week and know how hard it can be to be polite, enthusiastic and friendly all the time, but she achieved it, day in, day out. The accommodation is close to several cafes/restaurants so perfect if, like me, you don't hire a car or scooter.

We loved the property, but it is self contained and we made the mistake of not bringing supplies. We weren’t close to a convenience store - but that’s our mistake 😊.

The location was really great - the view from the cute beachfront unit was awesome. We liked the outside shower - was nice and hot - and the bed was comfy. Transfers were free and staff super nice!

Nothing - loved everything!!

Property was clean and well suited for our family of 14. We were all together but still had on our own individual space to chill. The rooms had everything we needed and the outside shower was different but very cool. The beach was definitely the highlight of our stay. Our babies spent hours on end in the water the entire time. Aircon was definitely a huge advantage!

Pillows were too bulky and I didn't find the bed comfortable. Also, as our room was on pathway to exit, we got a lot of foot traffic noise and chatter, which was not great early in the morning (men going on fishing charter). BBQ was not really that user-friendly either. We ended up using electric frypan.

Amazing views across lagoon, spectacular beach, use of kayaks, friendly airport pick-up and drop off, proximity to good eating venues.

Great location. Friendly staff. The pool and the lagoon were great. Walking distance to bars and Cafe. Scooter hire at the premises.

needed fresh towels after day two, we took our own towels and would hang up our used towels outside on the little drying racks they provided, but after a few days a fresh towel would have been nice. Other than that, it had everything you needed there, and helpful staff.

The location is stunning, right on a lagoon, walk out of your room and straight into the water, the rooms were clean and spacious with comfortable beds, the kitchen has your basic setup which is ideal as you are out most of the time on the island. There is aircon which cools down the room in the evening to help you get to sleep and stay comfortable.

Host was late to pick us up, no leis! Not a deal breaker, but since most others on the flight got them, it would have been nice! We arrived on a rainy day. I love an outside shower, but not a cold one, out in the rain!!! Our unit was solar powered! we were allowed to shower in one of the other units until the sun came out. On the last night we transferred to the budget unit as the place was full. I would not recommend staying in the cheaper units. The mattress was old and uncomfortable, air conditioner too noisy to use at night, ants, no umbrella, no pool towels. Apparently, the price we paid didn't run to having a pool towel. Think original NZ beach bach. Shame to finish up with this experience.

Room was lovely, just steps away from picture perfect sandy lagoon. Private deck with BBQ and umbrella! (rain) Comfortable bed with nice linen. Pool is a nice touch, well kept. Grounds are lovely. We loved the roosters and hens and chicks. Very handy to restaurants and cafes. Local cafe stocks a few basics. The retreat can organize rental cars or scooters to go further afield (supermarket or exploring) Would recommend.
