You are definitely better off with a car as the closest restaurant is around 15 minutes by foot. The closest store is also 2,5 km away.

T is a super nice host, very welcoming and responsive and even helped us to book a tour last minute or gave us a ride to our next accommodation. The bungalow has everything you need and has a stunning window front and location right on the beach. The a/c was also a big plus. We loved the kayaks and had an amazing stay!

Just a suggestion but some push bikes would be good as the villas are a long way from anything.

We loved everything about the villa. The view from the deck out front was amazing. Our host, T, organised everything we needed, including a run down to the local shop for groceries when we arrived. I would highly recommend this place, especially for value for money.

Incredible location!! Beach front with great swimming and snorkelling at your doorstep. The use of kayaks and loungers was great and the host T was lovely!! She picked us up from the airport and took us down to the local store so we could buy some basic food items/water before setting us in and showing us around, as well as helped arrange transfer to our next accomodation. The place itself is basic and in due of a little maintenance in some areas but that didn’t phase us as you’re not in Aitutaki to hang out in your room!

The oven was not working (looked like the buttons were missing). Be sure to store all food somewhere where the ants cannot get.

Amazing location especially if you prefer to be on a beautiful beach without too many other tourists. The hosts were very friendly, even taking us shopping on arrival as we did not have our own car. They also helped us rent snorkel gear.

There were ants in the kitchen, so don't leave food laying around...but we were prewarned. Guess it's a tropical feature. Actually we occasionally have it at home in Denmark too;-) Anyway ... I do think pricing is reasonable/on the high side.

Great that huts were on the beach. Host "T" was so friendly, nice and cool.- picking us up with flower neckless and everything. Get a scooter delivered to the house.

Nothing - we loved it.

Beautiful location, only 3 bungalows so very peaceful and great spot. T was a wonderful host and we highly recommend this property. Will definitely visit again. Self-contained with plenty of restaurants in easy distance.

Our stay at Aitutaki Seaside was incredible. This is a selfcontaining unit so make sure you buy some water and food straight away, and rent a scooter from the host Tearoa as that helps youg et around the island. The unit has all you need for your Aitutaki stay. They view is something you'll not get sick of and they also provide the chairs and canoes as seen in the picture to explore the lagoon. We absolutely loved our stay!. Besides all that, our host Tearoa was lovely and caring and made the stay even better than it already was. We had a dream holiday!

There's not one thing I can think of. These bungalows are perfection. Great for the price and perfect location on the island. I would stay here again, I would encourage my mom to stay here.- and she's super picky! 🤣

There is so much to love about Aitutaki Seaside. The location is STUNNING. You can lay in bed and look out at the water as you awake or relax on your own private porch while the sun sets. The stars are not to be missed! As you glance up and down the beach, it's just trees bordering the lagoon. It feels so unique and special! It's different from staying at a resort; we much prefer the intimacy and privacy that Aitutaki Seaside offers. There are nice kayaks to use and beach chairs. You could visit Aitutaki and be content just relaxing at your bungalow each day. The rooms, bathrooms and facilities are super clean! While simple, the bungalows still feel modern and updated. A/C was super cold, shower had great pressure with hot water and the Vodafone hotspot was one of the fastest we connected to on our whole Cook Islands trip. There is a phone that is super convenient for calling restaurants and tour guides, as well as a free-to-use washing machine. This was such a bonus to be able to wash some of our clothes. Tearoa is so kind; she made us feel so welcome right away. She was always there to answer questions, coordinate rentals, and make sure we felt comfortable. Grace was also so sweet and always greeted us with a smile :) I would recommend renting a scooter, which T was so helpful to coordinate for us. But to mention, our favorite fish and chip spot on the whole island was just a 7 minute walk down the beach (Aunty O'Deez). I would absolutely stay here again and again - and hope I can return! We visited a couple of resorts for lunch and dinner on the island and this place, to be honest, felt way more special than them all. It's absolutely perfect!

The lodge's owners need to spend a little bit of money on fixing some aspects that are run down. Nothing major, but for example, being able to close the kitchen drawer would be nice. The manager is wonderful and is in discussion with the owners but ultimately the upkeep of the property is up to them. This is no way made the experience less. Much like I don't personally like soft beds because I have a bad back - that's my issue and not the issue of the property. The bed was 'wonderfully' soft.

The view from Aitutaki Seaside is the best on the Island. We scootered around the whole island at different times of the day and evening and Aitutaki Seaside view was the best. The beach is fantastic and the lagoon is wonderful at low and high tides. Walk straight out of your lodge, across the beach, into the lagoon and see fish swimming around the coral, snorkle at high tide and walk around at low tide. Grab one of the complimentary kayaks and paddle out around the lagoon, jump out and snorkle anywhere in the lagoon to see fish, starfish, coral etc. Just as beautiful as taking a trip out to the motus. Being on the Western side the sunsets are marvellous. We stayed 13 nights and the sunset was different every night. The manager, Tearoa, was extremely helpful from the time we booked until we flew out. Airport pickup and dropoff, arranging scooter hire at a great price, explaining how things work. Clear and quick communication when I had questions. She took us to the local shops when we arrived so that we could get basic supplies. Being on the West side of the island, the lodge is conveniently located to go to every part of the island. Nothing is far away but I recommend scooter or car hire. The kitchen has basic cooking utensils which is all we needed.
