Description

Te Vai Moana is a Polynesian styled villa has been beautifully appointed and has a relaxed yet luxurious style. It provides the perfect environment from which to enjoy the island paradise of Aitutaki.

The villa has a minimum stay of 3 nights, and discounts apply to stays of a week or more. It is highly suitable for longer stays, with your every need thought of.

Upon arrival you will be greeted with a welcome basket of local seasonal fruit, and milk and juice.

Te Vai Moana is located on the west side of the island in the village of Nikaupara, which adjoins the town area of Arutanga. The Villa has easy access to water taxi's from the main wharf in town, and lagoon cruises departing from nearby. Located 400m from the water, it has stunning views of the lagoon and open ocean from its expansive deck.

The Villa is self-contained, has high quality furnishings, and a fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances and an island bench. The kitchen has everything you require for a comfortable stay including oven, microwave, blender, kettle, toaster, coffee plunger, high quality pots and pans, and even containers for you to pack a picnic lunch for the day.

The water has been UV treated and filtered on site for your convenience, and means you do not need to buy drinking water.

The dining table is extendable and seats 8 comfortably.

There is a large bathroom with a stone vanity, and spacious shower. There is a separate toilet.

A large laundry is located on the ground floor for your personal use.

There is also an outdoor shower for rinsing off after a day in the lagoon.

With full length screened louvre windows to capture the breeze, 5 ceiling fans, and air conditioning ( available at additional cost of $10 per day), you can relax in comfort.

The villa has prepaid WIFI access and phone with free local calls.

The huge balcony has views of both the open ocean and the Aitutaki lagoon including Maina and Honeymoon Islands. During whale season you can see whales from the balcony.

400m from the water, and a 5 minute walk from town, you can catch water taxi's to your favorite island location, or go on a day cruise of the lagoon leaving from just around the corner.

This beautiful Villa is family friendly with cot and portable high chair available at no charge.

It comfortably sleeps 5 people (the standard tariff covers up to 5 people). A maximum of 7 guests can be accommodated with an additional charge of $20 per person per night ( for persons 6 and 7).

There is a queen bed in the main bedroom, and a double and single bed in the 2nd bedroom. An additional queen sized sofa bed is available on request at an additional charge (see above).

Transfers from the AIrport to the Villa return are available upon request at a cost of $20 per person.

*If you're traveling from Europe, the UK, or the USA to the Cook Islands, we recommend you spread your stay between Rarotonga and Aitutaki, and also add on 3 nights in Atiu, and even Mangaia. Flights depart regularly from Aitutaki to Atiu, and Atiu to Rarotonga or Mangia, so you can add this additional experience on with little extra cost. Each island offers its own unique experience, and guests who have traveled to the Cook Islands from a long distance have reflected they wish they had known of the other islands, and how easy it was to travel between islands.
