Self Catering Accommodation in Arutanga

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!

The whole process was a breeze, from booking our dates, arriving in Aitutaki, checking in, escorted to our room.. And I must say the rooms, wwwooww.. Staffs are so lovely and welcoming... Thank you Andrew for picking us up.. Awesome service Tava'e staff....

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.

Ideal property. Niki the owner/operator is very kind and accommodating. Thoroughly recommended.

Location was excellent Extremely helpful staff who went out of their way to welcome you and help you enjoy a lovely holiday in their very comfortable and spacious triple bedroom with excellent cooking facilities and large fridge and microwave.The sea was 15 metres away. Definitely come back again.

Everything. Lovely host. Lovely decore. . Lovely island. Should have stayed in longer

I absolutely love this place, I hope to look here again. The host was very nice, we could borrow scooter and kayaks and helped us with everything we needed. :)

We had a wonderful stay at Etu Moana. We were looking for a sanctuary to rest and relax and this was perfect. Lovely grounds, villa, and staff. Small and discrete. The breakfast provided was very good. The orientation with Molly was fantastic and the recommendations were spot on.

amazing spot with great staff - it was great when the restaurant and bar were open and a very basic menu that is yummy food and cocktails!!!

Very quite and private no neighbours
