We loved this spot

Ok, if you see this spot available for your dates, book it!!! It is a perfectly rustic cabin on the oceanside. Close enough to walk to Hanga Roa proper within 5-10 minutes. There are cooking facilities so you can save money on eating out, with plenty of fun fruit and veggie stands closeby. Airport pick up and drop off. Petero was a great host, he answered our questions quickly, was able to offer a late check out which we so appreciated. It was such a charming spot, very private and reasonably quiet. Those views, THOSE VIEWS!! We'd stay again in a heartbeat. We left a part of that heartbeat on Rapa Nui, what a special special place in the world.

I'd love to come back and stay again at the same place! I'm very happy with the choice we made.

Overall, that was a great experience! Violeta (host) met us at the airport, on the way to cabana showed us all key places on the main street, provided clear instructions, and btw on our departure day she also gave us a ride to the airport. The best thing about our cabana is view! It's fantastic, you can enjoy the ocean view, rocks and waves as long as you want. The cabana style is tropical countryside which is very nice. It's filled with light but you can use roll blinds if you want. It has beautiful terrace, great for chilling time. There is all necessary inside cabana, even in case you want to cook for yourself. We had just a few days and preferred restaurants, but there was still great to have fridge, coffee machine and microwave (to warm up empanadas:) Bed was comfortable. And there was hot water in the shower, no problem. Only good memories!

Wonderful cozy oceansie location

Excellent location overlooking the ocean. It is wonderful to wake up to blue skies and the sound of waves breaking. The host make a great effort to keep the place clean. It is small but cozy. There are outside seating areas with flowers around, and at least when we were there, the weather was very benign and great for sitting outdoors. The centre of Hanga Roa is just a short 5 minute walk with plenty of restaurants and other facilities.

Room with a view and amazing host

Violeta was an amazing host. She informed us about the Island, things to do around and lend us a book to read about Rapa Nui She also organised to be collected from airport for free The Cabaña was very clean and served the purpose. From the balcony we could see the sea and enjoy the sunset and sound of the waves

Rustic cabin with spectacular ocean views

A simple rustic cabin that is yet comfortable and has everything you need for a couple of days exploring the island. Falling asleep to the sound of the ocean is hard to beat. Cozy balcony, very friendly and responsive host, wonderful meet and greet and the airport. The location is excellent for those who want to be close to the city and explore Hanga Roa, walking distance to everywhere.

Amazing accommandation with breathtaking view

This is the sweetest accommandation ever. Pickup included, and welcoming with flowers was absolutely amazing. The apartment is suuuper clean and has everything you need and more. Even soap and mosquito repellent. Kitchen is wellequipped and beds are so comfy. View is breathtaking, lovely porch and it’s only a short walk to the center. The host is the sweetest and most helpful woman. Thank you so much for making our stay on the Island so memorable. Highly recommended. 10/10, and would have given it 12/10 if possible.
