This was such an amazing holiday, Mary and Charlie our hosts made us feel so welcome and had so many neat ideas of things we could explore and do while we were on the island. Such a great location, just a short stroll to the beautiful white sand and piercing blue waters. Without a doubt the #1 accommodation I have... More

We had some people coming and going at different times, but nothing was too much trouble for Mary and Charlie. Te Akapuao is a fabulous facility and all our family thoroughly enjoyed their stay.

Te Akapuao more than exceeded our expectations! Mary was a fantastic host, right from our very first email. She was really helpful and extremely accommodating with us before we arrived - nothing was a problem for her. She met us on arrival and made us feel at home straight away. We stayed in the Studio Villas - they were immaculately... More

Charlie and Mary could not have done more to make us feel welcome guests. The villa was great and the ambience fantastic. It is 5 minutes walk to the beach, but a rented scooter is handy to get about the island. The home baking was dangerously nice and thanks so much for the birthday cake!
