Positive: 2bedroom/4 peeps Dylan the manager was a very friendly, helpful and welcoming young man. Location was fabulous...water steps away. A swimming pool also. Close to 2 cafes...Koru & Boatshed. A 3-5min walk away from the Vaka Cruise berth. Air Con in the main bedroom...YAY. Pickup and drop off from/to airport. Car hire also from there. After 9 days in Raro, Aitutaki was 3 days of mostly relaxing on the sun loungers under the coconut palms (strategically placed...lol), swimming and cooling off and that was everything we needed. Would absolutely recommend for those looking for a more budget friendly accommodation. Not flash but equipped with everything required. Clean and well stocked kitchen. Both bath and beach towels supplied. Friendly roosters and hens that didn't seem to crow at night.

Negative: There was nothing we didn't like. All our particular needs were met.

Summary: A little Aitutaki gem
