“Lovely hosts and budget potential, but the lodge need modernising.”
The hosts are extremely welcoming and helpful, resolving issues quickly despite Aitutaki’s remote location where repairs naturally take time; the lodges were originally well designed, offering plenty of indoor and outdoor space, lovely gardens maintained daily, and very reasonable prices, giving the property great potential. However, the properties haven’t been modernised; the kitchen feels outdated with a slow electric hot plate, mini‑oven, aluminium cookware, and plastic kettle—adding a microwave, induction or fast cooktop, stainless steel kettle, or electric frying pan would ease cooking; also, despite ample space, there’s a lack of storage such as wall hooks for clothes, bags, or keys, so a bit of modernisation would make a huge difference.
