Highly recommended friendly Accommodation

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 5 May 2023via mobile
Highly recommended accommodation in Aitutaki ..
We stayed there for 4 days . From the beginning we were welcomed by Tiffany and Jeff .
Their friendliness and professionalism shone through on our stay . Always a friendly smile and greeting . They went out of their way to make sure we had the best experience. We were able to use the buggy to scoot around the island which was a bonus!
The kitchen staff and room attendants were also very kind and friendly. Food was of the highest standard and rooms were kept pristine at all times !
If you are looking for a personalized friendly professional experience Etu Moana is the best you will get !
Thank you so much for having us and for your caring support and customer service! Hope to return one day soon .

Lovely new friendly, welcoming and informative managers, large comfortable well-equipped Are (room), great staff, delicious breakfasts...and loved the free use of the brand new golf carts (as well as bicycles and scooters) to get around the island. A great play to stay, highly recommended.

Kia Orana,
Thank you for your recommendation! We are thrilled you had a fantastic stay. Our delicious tropical breakfasts are a lovely way to start the day. We say all the better when served with a genuine Etu Moana smile. Just one of our special value-adds are the e-carts and scooters. A perfect way to explore our island paradise and we are happy you made the most of it! We look forward to welcoming you back some day soon.

Tiffany and Jeff were fantastic hosts who went above and beyond to personalize our experience. Etu Moana is beautifully situated and well resourced to support a couple exploring the island or just enjoying the beach and lagoon out front. Paddle boards were great, the pool is immaculate, staff incredibly friendly and helpful. Stunning location for a peaceful and low-key couple of days away. Thank you T&J, it has been wonderful to meet you and visit Etu Moana. Ka kite!

This is truly a magical place. The setting is stunning, right on the water at a beautiful beach. The grounds are lovely, full of lush plantings (and the occasional chicken). Our cabana was private, thoughtfully designed, and very comfortable. We loved being able to shower outside in private!

The hosts, Tiffany and Jeff, are incredibly warm and welcoming. They helped us book dinners and an amazing boat tour of the lagoon. The rest of the staff are also lovely, as is the food. Breakfast, which is included, offered a variety of cold and cooked options. For one dinner we enjoyed a charcuterie board by the pool. It was not only delicious but also so plentiful that we had enough for lunch the next day.

Finally, we thoroughly enjoyed all of the transportation and equipment that were available for use, including bikes, electric scooters, a golf cart, and kayaks. All of these options let us explore the whole island from land and sea. We really could not have asked for more.

We had the beach front villa and it was amazing. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was great. The kitchen area was very good for what is really a bedroom, (although separated by being around the cornere of the room) given it had a fridge, hob, and enough crockery and cutlery for the two of us. We didn't cook a meal there, but you could if you wanted to quite easily.
The snorkelling was great. We used the kayak to paddle out to the buoy and snorkelled from there. The SUP was an experience that we won't forget either. For a first go, it wasn't bad, although it was helpful that it is a lagoon to SUP on so there aren't really any waves.
However what really makes this place stand out from all the others is the couple who run it. Jeff and Tiffany are just so welcoming and friendly. I don't think I've been anywhere before where the hosts were so amazing. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Tiffany was very organised and booked various things for us and we had great conversations with Jeff over a beer or two.

Room tip: Beachfront villa was a luxury but well worth it.
