Best holiday ever

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 1 Jun 2023
We stayed at Etu Moana for 10 nights. Our stay was truly magical and by far best time of our lives. Hosts Tiffany and Jeff are exceptional and ensured our stay was perfect. All staff were amazing and so kind. Rooms are 100%. We stayed in villa 1 which had best views I'd ever had. Room was perfectly cleaned daily and was equiped with everything you need.

We got married at one foot whilst staying at Etu Moana, the wedding planning, support and relaxed atmosphere was exceptional. A meal was also arranged which was fantastic touch for our wedding celebrations to continue.

I would recommend everyone should visit Etu Moana in there lifetime, its an extremely exceptional experience, from location, hospitality. Everyone we met at this boutique wished they had booked more days.

Electic buggys and scooters are provided FOC, which was fantastic, everday we would nip.out on buggy, for lunch or popping to shops. Brilliant idea.

Aitutaki is the most beautiful island on this planet, crystal clear sea, lagoons.

A must return to Etu Moana.

Thankyou for our amazing stay.

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.

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.
