Vaka Tai - wanting a absolute beach front bach at a reasonable rate just for two - then this is the one! Read the many recent reviews then book !
This is a free standing beach front holiday bach, privacy + beach front = TICK
Quiet beach and location - with the newly started Turtle Tours on the same strip Vaimaanga is starting to get noticed for its great lagoon and quiet location As close as it gets to the beach & lagoon & great value for money , the Vaka is literally elevated over the beach and so close to the lagoon
This popular holiday batch style unit has its own separate kitchen, bathroom and a large elevated deck facing the gorgeous crystal clear lagoon.
Sit back and gaze away at the ever changing lagoon and beach
With 100+ five star 100% positive reviews (we are also Super Hosts on the worlds biggest booking platform) & we are VRBO Premier Hosts, be sure to make this your accommodation choice!
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!
As 'Premier Hosts' we are help to make the booking process as easy as possible. and a 'instant book' option to get you quickly confirmed ! Since the pandemic we have refined and polished our practices. We work full time to ensure your comfort and the best possible holiday !
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 !
