“I would love to go back”
I picked Cabañas Moai as it is very close to the best site to watch sunset on the the island. What exceeded my expectation was there are lots fruit trees, bearing fruits, around the Cabaña. :) and I can see Ahu Ko Te Rik from the bed in the attic. The deck in the backyard is a very nice place to relax The owner, Rene, is very very nice and helpful. Best property owner I ever met.

“Lovely island, lovely people, lovely stay. Rapa Nui will not disappoint!”
It was a lovely location, with a lovely host. We kept the key in the door, and didn't lock up once, so this area and place is super safe. The cabana was comfortable, and had everything we needed. We didn't rent a car, but the stores, restaurants, beach, etc., are all really close. Rene showed us a back trail from our cabana, which was a short walk to the beach. We used this trail daily to go in and out, eat, shop, etc.

“Perfect host and location for a stay on Easter Island”
Rene was a perfect host. He met us at the airport and could not have been more welcoming. The property is in a quiet location about 20 minutes walk into town. I loved that we could see the sea and a prominent Moai from the verandah as well as one in the garden. There were lots of chickens and their tiny chicks running about the garden. We ate out each evening but there were all the facilities for doing more should we have wanted to. Excellent shower with copious hot water. It was a perfect place for 3 nights.

“A beautiful, spacious cabaña with a wonderful host in a perfect location”
The host, René, was incredibly helpful throughout my stay — he went above and beyond to assist me. The location is great, and the cabaña itself is beautiful, spacious, and very clean. I had so much room and felt really comfortable here

“A lovely tropical Cabaña in Rapa Nui with a welcoming host”
Where to start? The kindness of the host, the perfect location, the moaï in the garden or the peacefulness of this authentic Rapa Nui Cabaña ?.... Everything was perfect ! We stayed there 6 nights and didn't want to leave. Located 5mn away by walk from the beautiful Tahai moaï and only 20mn walk by the coast to reach the center of Hanga Roa. Māururu René, we will be back!

“Wonderful welcome and a fabulous experience”
Rene kindly brought us from /to the airport in his car and treated us with gorgeous garlands. He patiently showed us around and helped with information about the places and culture of the island. In the kitchen we found enough to get us started plus lovely fruit in a bowl covered with a fresh hibiscus flower. The terrace had a hammock from which we could see a glimpse of the sea among the trees, and from the garden we could see the top hat of the eyed-Moai and receive visits from the local chickens. We loved the traditional and quirky wooden decor of the bungalow that enhanced the peaceful Rapa Nui experience in addition to the amazing location so close to the Tahai Moai, which are extraordinary at sunset.

“Beautiful cabins in a beautiful location”
The cabins are in a beautiful location, just a few minutes walk from some Moai where you can watch sunset. The cabin was very large and equiped with everything we needed. We really liked the style of it, and the bed was very comfortable. Rene was a great host, very friendly. He picked us up and dropped us off at the airport.

“A great property, perfectly located and a truly lovely host. Totally recommended”
The property is located a walking distance from the sea, with lots of places to eat not far away. It is a very lovely facility, quiet, and beautiful. Our host was absolutely fabulous as he helped us with car rental, and recommended the very best guide for our tour of the island. To add, the welcome at the airport was truly a lovely touch. Honestly you won’t meet better people.

“A very comfortable and attractive place to stay. Highly recommended.”
The cabin was large and nicely furnished, and very quiet. The outside space was very private and comfortable, a large covered wooden area with a lovely garden and sea view and a big table so we could have drinks or simple meals outside. Our host René was extremely helpful and friendly, providing information before we arrived and collecting and returning us to the airport.

“Super homey and comfortable. A great host and a great value.”
Rene was great. He picked us up at the airport with flower leis, gave helpful directions and was a wonderful and helpful host. The rooms looked just like the photos and were super clean. Being only a 2 minute walk from Tahai made it all the more special Really an excellent value for the money.

“A great place to stay”
The property is located around 10 minutes walk from Hanga Roa town centre. The cabaña was large and had more than enough space. The man who met us was very friendly and shared tips on how best to enjoy Easter Island. If I returned to the island, I'd definitely consider staying here again.

“Wonderful!”
Wonderful host and wonderful location. This is a nice, big private place with a full kitchen and a huge deck with a view of the sea. We like a little space to settle in with, not a cramped hotel room, and we had plenty of room. We bought a few snacks at the store and a bottle of wine, and just enjoyed relaxing "at home." It's an easy walk to town, the museum and little shops and restuarants. The Moai in one of the free parks are just a minute or two away, and an excellent place to watch the sunset. Our host went above and beyond, helping me find a lost item at the airport. What a kind man! Highly recommend this facility1

“An amazing place to stay. We travel a lot and it will count as one of if not the best stay we've had”
Stayed in Jan for 5 days with my partner. We both loved this place. The property was spacious and full of character. It had an actual moai in the garden and a view of one of the bigger moai could be seen against the sea from the lovely balcony. Rene (the host) was extremely friendly and helpful and he kindly picked us up from the airport. The walk to the town was beautiful (and safe) and you passed the moai on the way. The sunsets there were incredible and there is a nice restaurant nearby. It would really be hard for it to have been better.
