Why they chose this property

To be honest - the WOW factor is when you walk on to the deck and realize you are 'hanging' over the beach - as close as you can get! The crystal blue lagoon is right there in front of you ! Grab a kayak and hit the lagoon or take a snorkel and mask and explore the warm waters in the lagoon.

Pleasantly appointed interior, high ceiling with ceiling fan. King bed of course, full kitchen for cooking, fridge freezer, microwave and all the items needed to cook some fresh tuna or whip up a salad. A smart TV and DVD player for any screen time !.

Cool and comfortable indoors for afternoon naps and at night. Screened sliding door to the deck, all windows are screened. Large covered deck space for watching the breakers on the reef. Spot the fish in the lagoon on a clear sunny day.

What makes this property unique

Vaimaanga beach and lagoon still maintains a quiet feel as there are no resorts or hotels close by. You will have the beach all to yourselves! The lagoon itself is great for exploring in the kayaks or snorkelling or just to take a dip and cool off. The Vaka sits right over the beach and is something special as there are no other properties this close to the beach so this is beach front ++ at a great price!

Vaka Rua is located a short stroll to the Vaima Restaurant. Ideal for a special night out. Our guests end up visiting many times as the staff are friendly, the drinks are cold and its on the beach front !

There is so much to explore around the island so a vehicle or scooter is a must although many of our guests just take the bus or even hire bikes (incl e bikes) . We can help with this just ask!

We are on hand through your stay to help you maximise your time in paradise - we dont live onsite and are only a phone call away. On booking we provide loads of info and tips on anything incl flights, getting around the island and airport transfers (yes we can arrange those for you). Our aim is to give you all you need so that you have a amazing time here and leave no stone unturned! OR you can just get here relax and unwind in your Vaka and there is no better place to be.

We look forward to your booking and seeing you soon. kia manuia. adam & sarah
