A beautiful boutique complex of 8 villas in the best area of Aitutaki. Our villa had lovely views and everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The staff were so welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable, giving us advice and information about local places of interest and activities. We chose Etu Moana for its focus on sustainability and personal service. Highly recommend.

We were welcomed like visiting royalty, treated to delicious breakfasts and small kindnesses from all the staff from the hosts to the cleaners. It was so peaceful, the villa a lovely size, with an ocean breeze and fans for cooling. Loved the golf buggy for transport, and enjoyed sampling the local restaurants. Would highly recommend for peace and a focus on guest comfort and wellbeing in a genuine way.

Enjoyed every minute in my spacious villa with everything one needs. With ocean view and nice beach. Snorkeling was very good. At the honesty bar I could mix my own drinks, have a beer, wine or soft drink. The pool was always clean.

This property was amazing. The staff go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable. They think of every single thing. Kayaks, fins and reef shoes available for use. Beautiful pool with bar, electric scooters to hire. We had an amazing dinner prepared for us on the beach. It was absolute paradise.

A very special place

We loved our stay at Etu Moana which is on the west, less windy side of Aitutaki. This property has eight thatched villas cleverly positioned in lush gardens which lead to a magnificent beachfront. The ocean was perfect...warm, translucent and inviting for snorkelers. . We enjoyed the opportunity to explore the island by bike and golf buggy. Our evening walks on the beach to one of the nearby dinner venues, was another highlight. Mostly we appreciated the warm hospitality of Jeff and Tiffany who go above and beyond to make your stay memorable.

We loved our time here, it was so relaxing. Jane and Steve were great hosts, happy to organise anything we needed. Honesty bar was really handy, and it was good to be able to eat there a couple of times. Would love to go back one day.
