Wai Makare Beach Retreat

We had the best stay at Wai Makare. It’s by far one of our favourite places of our trip. The property is beautiful, it feels like you are lost in the beach in the middle of nowhere. The family that runs the homestay is really welcoming and takes time to make you feel at home and to make sure you are having a great time. They offer a few activities, we went snorkelling with manta rays it was unforgettable. If you are looking to go a bit off grid it’s perfect!

The place is amazing, you are right by the beach, crystal water and the shared areas are cool. Food is good portions and good. They are really nice and they borrowed us a kayak to explore. You can walk to the other side of the island and there is another beautiful beach. So much coral and fish to see around.

Shared bathroom has quite a lot of insects and not the best. We stayed in a double room with shared bathroom. They have outside shower that is better.

The location, the reef and possible walk options were great. It was nice to meet a great bunch bunch of international travels. Shared meals and shared travel stories and games were enjoyable. Dinner was great. One night we had freshly caught fish. Yummy

Breakfast and lunch was a bit light. We expected a little more. We had been warned and arrived with a bag of muesli.

The staff were very accommodating and friendly, knew everyone by name which added to the homey atmosphere

No hot water, very basic facilities, could be cleaner.
