"The home was clean and comfortable in an amazing setting. We enjoyed the beach and walking out into the lagoon using the house supplied reef shoes. My husband and friend enjoyed the kayak, as well. Our host was very responsive and helpful. "

"Sis and I arrived a few hours prior to check-in time. Warmly greeted and offered coffee, juice and fresh native fruit. Delicious. Our rooms were ready and we were able to occupy them. No A/C, but leaving the doors open there was a nice breeze and sounds of the ocean waves. Early to rise with the local roosters; but refreshing sound compared to the city noise. Older accommodations; but clean. Enjoyable stay. "

"The apartment was very comfortable. The manager was very good about getting you the info to check in and directions. The view was beautiful."

"Great house, excellent location next to the super market and the beach. The host Vatea was very helpful. Clear communication and access instructions, labels and reminders posted around the house set clear expectations. The house is well equipped, we enjoyed the lounge chairs, kayak, barbecue. We would come back! "

"Villa Kahaia was a fabulous 4 day stay. It provided everything we needed and was super comfortable.It was very relaxing at sunset and in the evening sitting outside. Happy Market at beginning of the lane was great and so easy to walk to.Communication was very easy and excellent instructions for entry. We could have stayed much longer."

"Almost everything on the Tama homestay site was false.Airport pickup I was charged 5000xpf it was advertised as 3000xpf No continental breakfast & no soap in bathroom to wash your hands.When I enquired about it I was offered to leave & a refund, I reply with small refund for continental breakfast daily? Host said that he’d have his mother/ housekeeper buy the items she returns with very basic things bread, margarine, jam, coffee, tea, powdered milk sachets & soap. Not continental breakfast ingredients exactly.Oven wasn’t working, email host takes a day to reply, power is switched off because no one uses it, it’s to hot to use an oven & oven makes noises. He sends me picture instructions to switch oven back on. When I use the oven there was no problem & no noises. B. S.I stayed in Tama which has keys to lock the door as does the bathroom you use to & it’s situated across the hall, well unfortunately I locked the keys in bathroom & no one was about, (young couple staying same time as I was out) I was panicking, rang host told him, puts me onto his wife, she was laughing, I didn’t find it funny & told her I can’t believe your laughing & she went psycho screaming down the phone at me. I had a look on YouTube & fortunately was able to find a helpful video & able to open the door & get the keysWifi doesn’t work in room Tama.My medication I had to keep in fridge was tampered with.Couple staying didn’t clean up kitchen after themselves, dirty, causing ants everywhere."
