Loved being able to wake up and see the lagoon out the window. Proximity to lagoon was amazing - only 10m or so from our cabin deck. Pool was there when salt of lagoon got too much. Free kayaks and paddle boards were fantastic.

A little Aitutaki gem

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.

Self contained so we were able to be self sufficient for the morning and lunch and went out for dinners

The location ! Opposite the private island resort. Walking distance to Koru cafe. The staff were lovely. The cabins were clean and we loved the shower (outside) we will stay again next year

Aitutaki is a quiet tropical paradise ; Ranginius is highly recommended.

The property is very well positioned on the beach. Dylon and his staff were very helpful and accommodating.
