Great safe secure holiday home had everything! Nina and Solomone were very accommodating and exceptional.

Spacious, clean and quiet

Washing machine & tv not working, network access very limited

4 day trip to Tonga & I could’ve stayed in this lodge and not come out😅Loved everything about it. All the essentials in 1 flat, so grateful for this find.

El personal. Nui fue muy amable y nos ayudó en todo.

Había una cantidad de hormigas, gusanos y arañas increíble. Además de que había utensilios de cocina que deberían ser cambiados, así como algunos muebles.

Loved being surrounded by true Tongan villages and experiencing what comes along with that. Very friendly and accommodating owners.

The oven wasn’t functioning when we were there.

I had no problem with this accommodation. There was a very responsive host who usually replied within a couple of hours. The home is in a quiet location (ok, quiet as far as vehicle and people noise goes, the local roosters were rather chatty in the early hours!) and very handy to town (maybe a 10min drive, if that, without traffic). Wifi was good (for Tonga!) minor quibbles - There was a gas hot water system for the shower but no hot water through any of the other taps. The mattresses had lost a bit of their spring but were comfortable enough and the linen was fresh and clean.

Look, it all depends on your point of reference. For some perspective, I grew up in Tonga so have a more realistic view of what to expect there...a rough rule of thumb with hotels is to subtract a star if you are comparing to a standard Western system! Overall the place was comfortable and clean. If you're comparing to a standard holiday home in Australia or NZ, it is on the basic side (think 1970's beach house). Having stayed at similar places in Tonga in the past, it's no different...if anything a wee bit better. Minor quibbles as above but overall it was fine! For most people, you're not in Tonga to sit in a house but to be out exploring. This place makes a good base for that exploring - close to town, decent size and full kitchen to cook for yourself. Just don't expect 5-star luxury!

Secure and private property was well maintained from the outside. Communication was excellent with the owner and staff. Great friendly service.

A bit of refurbishment was needed for the kitchen, but it was fine. There was an unfortunate awful smell from either the sewerage or pipes under the house and was told it was a neighbours pigsty but the smell came through the kitchen sink and other areas in the house not outside or upstairs.

It was bigger then we expected and we loved it. The lodge had everything we need. Would definitely book again.
