Beach rentals in Arutanga

Anne Australia

Abera's Villas is an absolutely delightful place to stay. After a warm welcome at the airport Jael was an exemplary host; recommending and booking activities/experiences for us and providing a unique insight about island culture. The two very private beachfront villas share a pool and (after exploring the island) have the best location on Aitutaki; close to a variety of dining places. There is easy access to the clear waters of the lagoon, with fantastic swimming and snorkelling right off the beach. Kayaks, snorkelling gear, stand up paddle boards and wheels to get around the island are all provided at no extra cost. If you want a quiet and relaxing place to stay which has also been built to environmental standards you will not be disappointed. We booked the breakfast, which as described in previous posts, is extremely generous. Thank you also to Kathy and Moana for their wonderful housekeeping and warm hospitality.

The serenity that this property offered was surreal. The bungalow was well-equipped with ample amount of kitchen cutleries, china, and bathroom towels. Every detail for this stay to be exceptionally wonderful was thought of- from having a bin in the toilet to having a dining table inside and outside to loungers in the balcony to my favourite spot where hammocks are installed and many more that you least anticipate of. We could only wish to have the same property and facilities when we moved to Rarotonga. We missed our Aitutaki bungalow so much. Vicky was a wonderful host, making our stay so homey. Trina was excellently responsive during our pre-arrival stage. All in all, this place makes us want to go back to Aitutaki despite its wild west vibe. This is so highly recommended.

We absolutely loved Etu Moana! Jane and Steve were fantastic hosts and so welcoming and the location is astoundingly beautiful! The rooms are lovely and we couldn’t wish for a better stay.

The bungalows are perched right on the lagoon just like the picture

Tavake is great. Hosts are young, energetic, and wonderfully helpful. They found us what we needed through local connections when we had no idea and forgot to book transport. Pawpaw growing at the door, beautiful sunset from the back porch, great spot close to all the facilities you need, and not far from the flash beach up the road. Their cafe next door was open 7am - 9pm and the food and drinks were great and economical, and there were always locals and visitors to meet there for a coffee and a story.

Amazing value for money and the most hospitable, kind and helpful hosts one could hope for. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay, Ned and Greta. Fresh fruit every morning, very clean rooms, kitchen and social area and very affordable in-house scooter/bicycle hire. Close to Arutonga for shops, takeaways and Scuba diving at 'Bubbles Below'. Take a trip on a Sunday morning to one of the local churches to listen to the harmonious Polynesian Choirs, it's incredible. Perfect sea in every possible shade of blue, soft white sand beaches and amongst some of the most amazing dive sites on planet earth. Napoleon Wrasse, Eagle Rays and Hawksbill Turtles, The reef system will stay etched in my mind forever. Perfect for solo travellers wanting to meet like minded people and wishing to get away from the more touristy side of the Pacific, Aitutaki Budget Accommodation is the only place to go! Can't wait to go back!

This place is kept immaculately clean and manicured, from the villas, bathroom and hardwood deck floor, to the gardens and the beach (the team rake and tidy the beach for you each morning) and the villa is appointed with every little touch you could imagine - the UV after filter, air conditioning, outside shower, kayaks and bikes. The photos do not do it justice! Mere is the most spectacular host who has thought of everything and delivers the most astounding service - very responsive to every question or request. I was part of a larger group who stayed at a number of resorts, hotels and villas across the island. I got to see them all - some more expensive & some cheaper - none of them came close to Heaven to Sea. We felt very lucky to have found this wonderful place, run by wonderful people who go the extra mile to make everything perfect!

Vaea was so amazing! First she greeted me at the airport with the most beautiful pink ei (not knowing that pink is my color). I tried to save it for so many days. She then drove me around in the pouring rain to multiple stores around the island to make sure that I had everything I needed for my 3 night stay there. She was an amazing host who really went out of her way! The bungalow was new and very clean. Nice view!
