Motu Beachfront Art Villas

This is the second time we have stayed here and it didn't disappoint second time round. Amy and Claire the new managers are amazing super helpful and very welcoming. They even had a cocktail evening so guests could spend the evening with them and some of the employees. We like it here because it is quiet and you look after yourself, but if you need anything there is always someone to help, whether its booking a restaurant, activity or massage. The rooms are immaculate, and I love that they put basic supplies in your fridge for your arrival. Newspaper comes every morning and nothing better than to sit on your deck reading the news paper drinking coffee and watching the lagoon. On Sunday morning the added bonus of bakery goods. There are electric bikes which you can book at a small cost, but first come first serve works if you get up early when the bikes first go out. There is also a well stocked honesty bar and a washing machine and drying which is super handy. A new supermarket has opened across the road so ice creams are close at hand and other important supplies. To sum the feeling we have for this place, on a rainy day as we pulled into the drive way my partner said "its just like coming home". Thats the way that Amy, Clare and the staff at Motu make you feel like part of their Motu family.

We had a fantastic time at Motu Beachfront Art Villas starts. We stayed in Villla 5, fronting the beach. Great snorkeling, beautiful beach. Thanks so much to Amy and Claire, and to Alex and the rest of the team for their amazing hospitality throughout our stay. We hired a car through Island Car Hire (great). Swam with the turtles with Ariki Adventures (outstanding). We had varied weather across the week, but the villas were so comfortable and refined that we didn’t mind the less perfect days - and then really appreciated the lovely times. We went to the local Church on Sunday morning. It was amazing!
