Villa Mitirapa

We've been at the Mitirapa houses a couple of times now, their houses have been refurbished with love and care, and provide great places to stay at with friends or family. All nested on the seafronts of the Pointe Vivish, a quiet, and beautiful laguna on one side, lovely white sand beach alcoves on the other, the places are both practical, nicely decorated, all have great amenities and we also recommend trying the hosts diners as they are some of the most delicious on the Island....

We stayed in Villa Hotu for 3 nights and were impressed by the spaciousness of the villa, the tidiness of the garden and the beach access. Pros • The villa is big – for the two of us, there was a lot of space. It would cater for a family easily (2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, plenty of lounge areas inside and outside). • The king-size bed was comfortable and had good quality linens (actual linen, not just cotton). • The wifi was reliable and fast. • The kayaks looked brand new, although it doesn’t seem like every villa has two kayaks. We had to ask to borrow an extra one so we could both go out kayaking together. • The plunge pool and cabana were nice touches, and were clean. • Good off-road, sheltered, parking – yes, you do need a car as the property is not in easy walking distance of shops/sights etc. • Very quiet and peaceful. No loud music or road noise. Cons • There were some maintenance issues – oven didn’t work, the bathroom taps were wobbly/broken. There weren’t any eating bowls. • Glassware isn’t glass – it’s all plastic except for the champagne flutes. • No kitchen supplies provided. Basic staples of oil, salt, pepper would have been handy. • As others have said, there are mosquitoes and there is not a mosquito net. This meant keeping the bedroom doors closed and using aircon as needed. Mosquito coils were provided. • There’s not much fish life in swimming distance of the beach. We only started to see signs of fish when we kayaked a couple of hundred metres offshore.
