The hosts were helpful and approachable. Steve was on time to pick us up and drop us off! He also shared great tips and info on restaurants with great food, ambiance and price. They're grandson was on sight helping with pool repairs and general maintenance and was a polite, charming hardworking part of the team. The biggest need in this cabin was the need of the second bedroom to have an AC. It was an extremely hot stay and our third person had a hard time sleeping. Another need would be for perhaps more than 3 settings of dishes for three people. Overall though, it has a good location with an excellent outlook. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/06F23E0682051E0616A3B43CC8691388F534B6281707490329470.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/95A375AA3F895992A31BC749870741B4817980BD1707490320661.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/E11710F19D9C9601867E150346EA32AB45CE78C41707490328371.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/B14C6A1CE807771E5EB121C9DDE62D79ADABD04B1707490325919.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Alanna Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Suzanne 21 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Shame about the guy. Very basic cabin. Office open only til noon. Left our bags told we could collect late in the afternoon. All locked up. No answer on the provided phone. The crankiest (non-Aitutakian) man allowed us to get our bags saying obviously it’s all locked because office hours are til 12\. Completely unnecessary behaviour and attitude to guests who just paid heartily to stay there. He needs to develop some customer service skills or get off this most beautiful island. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/18C0CDC49954E2D00C0287EE1E5551DE8B0837A21734746870875.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Suzanne Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### corey 4 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service I stayed two nights at Ranganui’s. The location is great, walking distance to the boats and 3 nearby restaurants. The room was small but clean. The area is rampant with mosquitos, so bring insect repellant! The only reason I gave this place 3 stars instead of 5 is due to the lack of communication with staff. I had emailed my itinerary as well as the need for a morning airport shuttle. When I arrived, I had to wait an hour outside to find someone to help with check-in. I never saw the owner again and upon leaving, did not have a ride and had to walk 35 minutes to the airport with my heavy bags. ##### corey Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alyssa 23 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful view of the lagoon ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a69d919d-d5cd-4895-9efd-4d870732b423-1763936821545.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Alyssa Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachel 9 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Best spot in Aitutaki!
