Fantastic escape
A great property, excellent location - walk out the door straight down to the beach. Very well equipped - home away from home. Excellent facilities. Loved the welcome package in the fridge. The water cooler was awesome.

Perfect
The property and location were even better than we expected. The view was stunning and the layout of the property and grounds made it super private. The snorkelling was amazing around the motu and the house had everything we needed. Loved having the beach as our "road" to walk to the little shops, night markets and cafes. Perfect holiday in a perfect spot.

Awesome place
We booked a full week here and was everything a couple could want. Location location location. Right on the beach with beautiful lagoon waters right out your door. The fish life was spectacular and the catch and release fishing out near the reef was over the top good. Adam and Sarah were great hosts and when we came home one evening to find the solar water heater spraying the roof they had a guy fixing it in a thunderstorm!!
