Mauke AccommodatioN

O KIVA (the Mauke word for Ocean)

An individual seafront cottage perched on the makatea overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Private gardens, sun loungers and dining platform with spectacular views across reef towards the sunset.
The cottage contains queen size bed, indoor bathroom, fridge and cooking facilities.

If you are staying at this cottage during August to October you may just hear the soft sounds of the humpback whale passing on her journey from Antarctica.

The latest Lonely Planet guide describes O Kiva as the “fabulous new sea-view house, which is perched on the nearby clifftops and reached by its own gravel pathway. Beautifully finished with contemporary furniture and native woods, the house has a main bedroom, upstairs mezzanine and a basic kitchen; outside there’s a private patio…”

O Kiva Cottage, secluded, peaceful, with ocean views.

Our stay has been fantastic. We enjoyed the stories that you told us about the island. Thankyou for your hospitality and company.The highlight of our stay at Mauke was the church service. The singing was so very beautiful, the cave tour very interesting and the friendliness of the people was phenomenal. We will always remember Mauke with fondness.

Oh what memories - it was a dream.

Claire & Gavin, England.
We have been to some lovely places, some great places on our travels but the truly exceptional ones that we will remember in the years to come are where we have met wonderful people in a wonderful place. We have totally fallen in love with Mauke and although it is very different from home after 2 days it is already like home.

Jose, Spain
I have only spent 2 days in Mauke. I wish it had been more to enjoy this really peaceful island. I visited some of the caves with its refreshing clean water. I did cycle around the island. Thankyou very much.
