Breakfast was a wow! 👌 Complimentary breakfast

Simon is an amazing host . He picked us from airport and showed us around the island. We didn’t hire a car so without him it would be so hard to get around the island. He’s also very knowledgeable about the island . We’ve went on a ride and he talked about each village, some famous for crab , some famous for rugby players.

Our two-week stay at Are Kapakapa was absolutely incredible. This family-run gem offers a unique blend of comfort, hospitality, and natural beauty that truly makes it stand out. From the moment we arrived, Vaa and Joliene, the wonderful hosts who manage the property, welcomed us with such warmth and genuine care that we instantly felt at home. Their attention to detail and commitment to ensuring our stay was perfect made the experience unforgettable. The property itself is a slice of paradise. Surrounded by lush coconut trees, the entire house exudes a peaceful charm. One of the highlights of our stay was the close proximity to the beach—just a short walk away. It’s hands down one of the best beaches we’ve ever visited, with pristine sands and crystal-clear waters that made every moment there magical. The house is fantastic—spacious, immaculately clean, and well-equipped to provide a cozy and comfortable experience. The cool sea breeze and the thoughtful layout of the house ensured we were always comfortable. It’s clear that Vaa and Joliene have put great effort into making Are Kapakapa a home away from home for their guests. Another highlight of our stay was exploring the fruit trees around the property. The coconuts were a delightful treat, perfect for a refreshing snack after spending time at the beach. Every aspect of Are Kapakapa reflects the love and effort that Vaa and Joliene pour into their hospitality. The combination of the peaceful atmosphere, thoughtful amenities, and personal touches made our stay truly special. Whether you’re enjoying the serenity of the house, savoring fresh coconuts, or soaking up the beauty of the nearby beach, it’s an experience that stays with you. If you’re searching for a place that combines comfort, natural beauty, and an authentic family vibe, Are Kapakapa is the ideal choice. We left with cherished memories and are already counting down the days until we can return!

Loved the view, location and staff

We were picked up on arrirval by Cheran She greeted us and our short ride to Tai Roto she told us all the info we needed to know about our stay. The grounds there are Immaculate, beautiful gardens and breath taking views of the lagoon. Our room was perfect, the bed and pillows were so comfortable. The bathroom was beautiful right down to the vanity. Staff there were all so friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was delicious.

Absolutely amazing Beach Huts! You have direct access to the beach, the accommodation has amazing location. The huts are really nice and have everything you might need. Took a lagoon tour and it felt so private and it was just really great day. You can rent a scooter with them too. We loved every single second of it and regret we couldn’t stayed longer. Recommend it 10/10. Really worth it. The owner, Mathias, he is really nice and very helpful. Thank you for unforgettable stay on Aitutaki!

Wonderful accommodation! Liz picked me up from the airport and gave me the warmest welcome. She even showed me around the island and pointed out all the important places, such a lovely introduction. Later, I met Niki, who was incredibly helpful, lending me snorkeling gear and being so kind throughout my stay. If you don’t want to stay in just another boring resort, this is the place for you. A beautiful beach and everything close by. Highly recommended! 🩵
