Friendly and welcoming reception. House had what we needed for a week-long family stay. The location is great to meet local people and away from any resorts- instead it is a short walk to the local village shops.

We surrendered to our holiday in Aitutaki largely due to our beautiful villa and its surroundings. The property met all our expectations and beyond. The views over the village, the excellent airconditioning, the amazing kitchen facilities and close proximity to town. Highly recommend this home to all travellers looking for a home away from home.

Peaceful and beautiful

This beautiful villa in the heart of Aitutaki is amazing. We stayed for 5 nights and soaked up the experience of being surrounded by the locals. The Villa provides everything you could ask for in a holiday stay. Our host was amazing, organising airport transfers, scooters and advice on where to find supplies. We travelled as a family of 4 and the space was perfect for our needs. If you’re keen to avoid the trappings of resorts, we highly recommend this villa.

Awesome stay!

We had such a great stay! Upon our arrival to Aitutaki, we were greeted by Mii's lovely co host with beautiful Lei's (flower neckalce) for each of us. We then followed the co host by car to our location which was super helpful, especially since we landed during the night. The place was very nice with plenty of land surrounding it making it nice and private and the view from the deck was stunning. Fans inside the home were a lifesaver we didn't even feel the need to use the aircon. Overall was a very tidy and great place to stay would definitely stay again 😊

Great home in Aiutaki

Our stay at this home was wonderful. Full kitchen and filtered water from the tap as well as plenty of seating and a nice bathroom, perfect place to stay in Aitutaki. Not within walking distance to the beach but walking distance to town and shops. The island is easy to get around so getting to the beach is easy. Everyone was so kind and friendly and the folks we interacted with for the rental were so accommodating and kind. Definitely made the stay that much better. We would highly recommend it!

Aitutaki is gorgeous, and it was nice to have a spacious house with many amenities. Comfortable beds, fully stocked kitchen with a much appreciated welcome fruit basket and juice/milk in the fridge, good sized bathroom with some small toiletries and things past guests have left (thank you for the bug spray!), fans for cooling, nice view from the balcony, lots of space to spread out and relax. Host communication was just ok. It was great to check in early since our flight arrived from Raro at 10, and host arranged for a taxi to pick us up. But when we arrived, there was no house manual or instructions or info at all, the local house manager called after a few hours and we ended up going to her office to ask questions, but then she went to New Zealand and we had no one to ask- the host still has not replied 2 weeks later. The oven had no door, the safe was broken, and there were ants everywhere (we sprayed and disinfected several times, and made sure no open food was out or in the trash- also no place outside to take the trash). Listing also says free wifi- this is not accurate, it’s a Vodafone hotspot and you need to buy data to use it. We rented a scooter and it was delivered and picked up from the house which is great. We enjoyed our stay but having more info and communication could have made it better.

We had a fantastic stay at Mii's beautiful Polynesian style villa. The house is lovely and well presented, with most of the modern conveniences needed to make a holiday in Aitutaki a happy and memorable experience for a family! Mii was excellent to communicate with and certainly was helpful with any request I made while staying at his bach. The house was very comfortable and the insect mesh covered louver windows allowed for excellent air flow through the entire house, bringing the outdoor feel inside. This really made us feel like we were staying on a tropical island with the ocean breeze blowing through the window curtains, and the sound of the surrounding coconut palms russling with the wind. The lagoon can be viewed from the deck and my wife spent plenty of time outside admiring the view while using the Wifi and reading. A lovely location to stay with the nice feeling of living in the community rather than in a resort! Definitely book a scooter well in advance during busy periods, as we nearly missed out on the fun of exploring the island by scooter due to it being a busy time in Aitutaki. Thanks Mii for an excellent stay and my family is already looking forward to our next holiday in Aitutaki!

Some surprises here

Great location. The house cannot be described as a luxury villa, like most of the accommodation on Aitutaki, it is tired. The steps leading to the house are in need of repair with the wood splintered in many places, so not the best for bare feet. The interior walls are in need of a paint job, with scuff marks, garks and dirty marks in many places. The upstand of the kitchen bench is coming away from the wall, some of the louvres are broken and there is mould in the grouting of the bathroom. The biggest surprise was being collected at the airport with what I understood was a complimentary transfer but instead was an extra $100.00.

We loved our stay here and would definitely be back. Unfortunatley there was some miscommunication when we arrived so the place needed cleaning however the wonderful Villa Manager cleaned the place up lovely for us. She also gave us a lovely delivery of fruit and there was plent of basic supplies like milk, tea, coffee, juice and plenty of filtered water. We loved being down the road from the fabulous Avatea cafe who serve amazing food and the best coffee on the island.

Family Stay

We booked this property amid COVID uncertainty, the host was very accomodating of circumstances. The property was ideal for our family, the proximity to the port to catch boat out to kitesurf was very convenient.You ideally need a car and these were in limited supply so book ahead. The villa is very comfortable and well equipped. The only downside was that when we arrived the villa wasn’t available for us to go into straight off our flight so we had some hanging around which wasn’t ideal, next time I’ll be onto this. The manager was very kind and took us to shops and such and was very easy to communicate with. Would recommend this property and will be back to beautiful Aitutaki, thanks for sharing paradise.

About the host

Hosted by Miimetua Paku (Puk)

Host profile image
Born and raised in the Cook Islands but now living in Australia. This is our second home away from home so we can travel back to visit family and friends.

Why they chose this property

We built this house in 2013 on land that is passed down through my family lines dating back many generations. It provides my family a base when we come back home. I picture children growing up and 'popping over' to their island home with friends to enjoy the one of kind Aitutaki lagoon.

What makes this property unique

Aitutaki has a breathtakingly beautiful lagoon - only matched by the friendly people that live there. It is the ultimate place to relax when you need a break and a fantastic place to bring children
