Cottages in Arutanga

Our two-week stay at Are Kapakapa was absolutely incredible. This family-run gem offers a unique blend of comfort, hospitality, and natural beauty that truly makes it stand out. From the moment we arrived, Vaa and Joliene, the wonderful hosts who manage the property, welcomed us with such warmth and genuine care that we instantly felt at home. Their attention to detail and commitment to ensuring our stay was perfect made the experience unforgettable. The property itself is a slice of paradise. Surrounded by lush coconut trees, the entire house exudes a peaceful charm. One of the highlights of our stay was the close proximity to the beach—just a short walk away. It’s hands down one of the best beaches we’ve ever visited, with pristine sands and crystal-clear waters that made every moment there magical. The house is fantastic—spacious, immaculately clean, and well-equipped to provide a cozy and comfortable experience. The cool sea breeze and the thoughtful layout of the house ensured we were always comfortable. It’s clear that Vaa and Joliene have put great effort into making Are Kapakapa a home away from home for their guests. Another highlight of our stay was exploring the fruit trees around the property. The coconuts were a delightful treat, perfect for a refreshing snack after spending time at the beach. Every aspect of Are Kapakapa reflects the love and effort that Vaa and Joliene pour into their hospitality. The combination of the peaceful atmosphere, thoughtful amenities, and personal touches made our stay truly special. Whether you’re enjoying the serenity of the house, savoring fresh coconuts, or soaking up the beauty of the nearby beach, it’s an experience that stays with you. If you’re searching for a place that combines comfort, natural beauty, and an authentic family vibe, Are Kapakapa is the ideal choice. We left with cherished memories and are already counting down the days until we can return!

Simon is an amazing host . He picked us from airport and showed us around the island. We didn’t hire a car so without him it would be so hard to get around the island. He’s also very knowledgeable about the island . We’ve went on a ride and he talked about each village, some famous for crab , some famous for rugby players.

The accommodation is located directly at the beach, tastefully furnished, equipped with everything you need and very clean. The breakfast is delicious and plentiful. We felt very welcome from the first moment and the host helped us organise everything quickly - from renting a scooter next door to a spontaneous lagoon tour. 11 out of 10!

Tavake Villa exceeded all expectations and truly made our Aitutaki experience unforgettable. The villa itself is immaculately clean, spacious, and perfectly equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The location is breathtaking. Waking up each morning to panoramic lagoon views and peaceful surroundings felt like a dream. If you're looking for privacy, comfort, and an authentic slice of paradise, Tavake Villa is the place to be. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Aitutaki.

The location was perfect. The house was immaculately clean and presented beautifully. We loved the deck and being able to sit outside for breakfast.
