Firstly, meitaki maata to the host anau! I highly recommend Te Etu Villas, a beautiful villa. The pool was the icing on the cake. It had air conditioning, a full kitchen, and was spacious enough for everyone to have their own chill time.

⸻ We had a lovely stay — the property was very quiet and peaceful, which made for a relaxing break. , and everything was clean and well-maintained. There were good dining options nearby and grocery stores were easily accessible. The parking was convenient too. Honestly, there was nothing we didn’t like. Would definitely stay again!

We enjoyed our stay at Te Etu villas as it was lovely and quiet (some nights dogs going off). Mama Dor missed us but left some beautiful passionfruit which was lovely. There were a couple of things maintenance wise that could bring the property up to excellent. The set up is fab with g8 outdoor area and the pool and plenty of space inside for the 2 of us. The downside is the property next door when occupied with 5 kids meant that our peace and quiet was no more so would be worth checking b4 booking who is booked in next door. Also we had to request the hairdryer which was deliver speedily by Mama Dor. Would have been useful to know: no soap, shampoo and limited toilet paper, and the safe is broken. These things aside we did enjoy our time and the 5 days without neighbours left us restored. Thank you for sharing your property with us
