Pleasantly appointed interior, high ceiling with ceiling fan, the breezes comes right off the lagoon through the screened door - there is no need for air con as its naturally cooled being so close to the water. Cool and comfortable indoors for afternoon naps and at night. Large covered deck space for watching the breakers on the reef. Spot the fish in the lagoon on a clear sunny day.

Easy 2 minute walk to Wigmores Super Store for all your grocery and food requirements. Takeaways available next door to Wigmores. A Cafe is across the road from Wigmore's for coffee and just at the end of your driveway is a DVD store and the best Pizzas on the island - Southside Pizza.

A short stroll from the Vaka is the famous Vaima Restaurant. Excellent beachside dining. Car Rental is also 500m away - Go Cook Islands hire cars at reasonable rates with pre booking recommended.

A 10 minute walk will take you to the start of the Wigmores Waterfall track - a gravel track ending at a waterfall (if its been raining).

Another short walk option along the beach from your Vaka will take you to the now famous Turtle Tour beach where you can take a guided tour in the lagoon to swim with the turtles!

Throughout the booking process and during your stay we are on hand to help and only a message away.

As we are living on the island but not onsite we will stop by at some stage to say Kia Orana (hello), other than that we leave you to it - it is your property for your entire stay and we can help as much or little as needed! .

There is a Guest Compendium that tells you everything you need to know, do and see to help you maximize your stay. Before arrival we also send our guide book to help plan your stay.

We want you to experience the island and what it has to offer for yourselves and our guests always go back home and spread the word on our little paradise island in the Pacific !

Great accommodation with and amazing view and access to the beach, with nearby supermarket and restaurant just next door.
10 / 10Outstanding·Mar 2026
Super conveniently located right by the shops. The restaurant next door is crazy good food, convenient parking and killer sunset. My heart will never recover from leaving the cat that was hanging around. The true hero of this accommodation.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2026
Our second stay was just as amazing as the first. The host are very responsive with any questions. We loved the addition of air conditioning and WIFI! The location can't be beat. The goodies left in the fridge were exactly what we needed when we got up the next morning after a late arrival. Perfect location to see the sunrise and the sunset from your deck! Don't forget to walk down to Southside Pizza. It's the best! Until next time.
