Detailed Info
The TEAL Flying Boats of legend, plying the fabled 'Coral Route', landed in Aitutaki lagoon alongside this tiny uninhabited island to refuel aircraft, passengers and crew. Here, the original landowners have re-built and lovingly furnished the terminal building as the ultimate, absolute lagoon beach front hideaway from the world and built two lovely sunset bungalows for couples.
Akaiami Lodge offers a distinctive class of accommodation and has been carefully hand-crafted using local timber with brass fittings, keeping to the original design of the old Teal terminal building. The lodge is set about 15 metres back from the beach within the coconut grove with an unobstructed view of the lagoon and offers one enclosed bedroom with queen size bed, one large open-plan room (picture below), a fully equipped kitchen, bathroom, entrance porch and covered outdoor seating area with BBQ.
The Lodge is a spacious building, 8 x 16 metres (approx. 24 x 48 feet -- nearly 1200 square feet) with a fully equipped kitchen, including refrigeration and separate bathroom with hot-water shower. It very comfortably sleeps four, though extra beds can be arranged.
The Lodge has electrical lighting, ceiling and bed fans (all solar powered) as well as kerosene lamps.
Other than that, you will find no TV, no video, no radio; in fact, no gizmos of any kind are here to distract you from what you came to enjoy - peace and quiet on a spectacular, crescent-shaped, white sand beach.
