Run by a friendly young couple, this great-value abode features a clutch of self-contained bungalows that are scattered on a neat property. The beach here is disappointingly thin, but you can paddle free kayaks out to the white-sand motu across the lagoon. It's within walking distance of shops and restaurants, and bikes are available for hire. Cash only.
