Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and host was very helpful. Nice people and beautiful home thank you very much! ##### Salina Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Sarita 17 Jul 2025 Bungalows are getting a bit tired + need a refresh but otherwise clean + comfortable. Lovely tropical plantings around the bungalows. Fabulous snorkelling within a 3 min walk - including low tide. Also good dining options, maybe need a scooter or car. A bit tricky to find, especially if you arrive at night + without google maps. All good with maps if you punch in the name/road + drive up the road (looks like a lane, but is actually a road!) until you see the sign for the bungalows. 🙂 ##### Sarita Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 24 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We absolutely recommend this place and fully enjoyed our stay. Nev and Debbie are fantastic hosts and provide a lot for their guests. The location of the bungalows couldn't be better, as it is very close to the beach but tranquil at the same time. The bungalow itself is very spacious and offers all necessities for a relaxed time on this beautiful island. The communication with the hosts was very friendly and easy. So once again, we absolutely recommend this accommodation. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 6 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Patrick 2 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Reasonably quiet area, close to beach. Accomodation was self contained with good size rooms, kitchen had toaster, hot water jug, mircowave, fridge. Plenty of coffee and sugar as well as assorted jams and some breakfast cereal, bread, butter and a small milk as well as a large water bottle to use. No problems parking on the property. My room would have been better suited with a moveable fan on a stand. Not many restaurant options nearby, so having a car would be a good choice. Owners were freindly and helpful. ##### Patrick Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David 23 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Given just how much cheaper Aroa Kainga was compared to other options, and even despite how high other reviews have been, I was ready for at least some disappointment. But, no. The accommodation exceeded my expectations - the bungalow is nothing fancy, sure, but it was very well appointed, the fridge was well stocked with breakfasts and bread, free passionfruit from the owners' garden, lovely decking area and, a huge bonus, snorkelling gear and reef shoes if you don't want to schlep your own. There are also clothes washing faciltiies that came in handy. In terms of location, it also lucks out. There is only the one local restaurant, i.e. in walking distance, but cars, bikes and buses will get you to other ones with minimal hassle. However, Kaena (the local restaurant) is solid so if you're feeling lazy, you'll still be well served. In addition the local beach is, for my money, one of the best ones, since it is less crowded with resorts a la Muri, and all that entails. Moreover, we spotted sea turtles, moray eels and eagle rays while snorkeling in the area. Finally, the hosts - Nev and Debbie - are very friendly and helpful, and the information they provide is comprehensive. ##### David Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 20 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Victoria 21 Jan 2025 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I had a really great stay and loved the place!
