We loved staying at Waimiro. It’s far from the busy street yet close enough to walk. The view is a constant at delight - across the sea to other islands. Very comfortable and the hosts were most helpful. But the unit is small - with a kitchenette … in winter if it’s raining be aware that you will have limited space..- the setting makes up for much!

Motupipi is a hidden gem where you can completely relax without disturbance from other holiday makers. The accommodation is a step back in time …real Kiwiana. Very comfortable and well equipped for all your needs. Friendly hosts who welcomed us very warmly.Thank you Starr family , you have a gem waiting to be discovered by like minded people.

Family of four stayed three nights. The location was brilliant. Close to everything. Highly recommend tour of the islands, we went on 4.5hr boat ride that returned to Pahia at sunset, was beautiful, very informative plus great chance to swim and walk on uteri island.
The house was well appointed with quality bedding and facilities, very comfortable and the view of the harbour from the front of the house was brilliant, close enough to immerse yourself in boating village. Chris was very helpful, photos don’t do it justice. Just a wonderful experience for all, thank you.

Gorgeous location and place. Perfect for a couple’s getaway.
Hard to communicate with property owner/manager owing to need to create an account with the VRBO platform which we didn’t want to do. And there was no other option.
