- those not wanting to be in the main tourist hubs of the island, the South Side is still quiet and not full of resorts and hotels. its easy enough to get to the main areas of the island but you dont need to be staying amongst it !

This is our second stay in this apartment, which says it all really - we love it. Very comfortable, modern and well equipped, and in a lovely, peaceful part of the island. The beach is right there, Vaima restaurant next door and Wigmores store down the road.

Few steps to lagoon & beach with nice swimming with access to SUP’s & kayaks. Wigmores store was just a short walk & great for provisions. Accomodation was as described, comfortable, well-provisioned & very clean. Nice big balcony with views of lagoon & great to have the bbq. Meitaki Sarah & Adam.

The place was very clean and there was a welcome platter in the fridge for us when we arrived on Sunday afternoon. Great location. Access to beach with snorkelling, paddleboards and kayaks etc was fantastic. Kitchen is very well spec'd. Clear communication from friendly hosts. Would gladly stay here again.

Adam and Sarah were very easy to work with. Property was as advertised. Nicely provisioned, clean, just steps to the water. Snorkeling was pretty good, some very nice restaurants, easy to get around. Islanders by far the friendliest, most helpful of any place in the world, I have visited. 3cautions, one, if you are from the U.S. the phone system numbering is different, not able to text with your phone. Do not rent a car from Island Bike and Car, at the airport. tipping protocol is not clear.

Great property. Comfy beds, great shower. Lots of towels provided. Lovely fruit platter. The snorkel masks (2 available) and snorkel pipe (1 available only) could do with replacing or not advertised really, as they were past their usefulness and we would have brought our own from home but were anticipating useful ones on site. Great host communication.
