2. Are Kapakapa

Spacious, airy and secluded, Are Kapakapa offers a delightful holiday home for groups of up to five people. The location is a little different, out of the way above the old airport runway, but nearby a top mainland snorkelling spot at Base One.

4. Tavake Villa

Bask in the epic sunset at this waterfront holiday home on the shores of the main town, Arutanga.
