Uns hat die Unterkunft sehr gut gefallen, sogar besser als wir anhand der Fotos dachten. Das Haus ist sehr gut ausgestattet und wir haben es sehr genossen auf der großen Terrasse zu frühstücken oder auch mal abends was zu essen zu holen und dort zu essen. Wir haben uns dort sehr wohl gefühlt und einen Scooter o.Ä. braucht man unserer Meinung nach sowieso auf der Insel. Auch die Hosts sind super: alle Nachrichten vorab wurden super schnell beantwortet und wir wurden am Flughafen in Empfang genommen.

− Ein Mülleimer und Fön im Badezimmer würden das ganze noch abrunden.

A hidden gem. Our first choice in Aitutaki.

My husband and I recently spent 2 weeks in Aitutaki, staying at the Are Kapapapa house. We were really impressed with the house overall. The location was great if you are not into staying at resorts. It was out by itself with just one neighbouring house. It was also only a few hundred metres from a good snorkeling beach. Due to it being out of “town”, a car or scooter transport is essential. It is just 5 minutes drive to Ootu beach, which is a beautiful place to swim and enjoy the restaurants. The house itself was very comfortable. It has 2 bedrooms, one with a king sized bed, and the other with 2 singles. The lounge was comfortable and the kitchen had all modern conveniences and essentials. The icing on the cake for us was the back verandah which was fully screened to ward off flies and mosquitoes. Good free wi-fi is available. An additional outside shower was also handy for removing beach sand and salt. We cannot overstate our appreciation to Vaa for looking after us so well. He met us at the airport and led us around to the house, and provided a good run down on everything in the house and things to do nearby. Lots of fresh fruit were provided on arrival (mangoes, bananas, paw paws & coconuts), as well as a supply of filtered drinking water. Vaa is a very friendly bloke who provided lots of useful information on things to do and see about the islands. Without any doubts, if we were to return to Aitutaki, we would definitely return to Are Kapakapa. All in all, it was our home away from home.

− No problems really. However, if you prefer resort style accommodation, then this will not suit you.

Excellent hosts and home

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!
