Ever dreamt of escaping to your own private island? Leave the rat race well and truly behind at Oravae Cottage – your own Robinson Crusoe style bungalow in the heart of the Pacific. Perched on the edge of an islet 20 minutes from the mainland, there’s nothing to distract you here but the gentle sound of waves.
Spend your days relaxing on the wooden verandah, swimming pristine lagoons, diving or snorkeling WWII Japanese war relics, feasting on traditional island banquets or sinking an ice-cold beer and watching the sun go down as the rest of the world becomes nonexistent.
Whether you’re after a romantic getaway for two or somewhere for a party of 10, Oravae is the perfect escape. Oravae Cottage is an open-plan wooden bungalow built from local supplies. It has one large bedroom with a double bed, a kitchen, shower and toilet and living area with three more beds.
The highlight, undoubtedly, is the over-water veranda that leads right out over a beautiful blue lagoon. Perched on the edge of an islet. There is now also a second cottage with a double bedroom, toilet and outdoor shower and a huge sundeck. This is to accommodate groups with more than one couple and is not rented to separate parties. The island is always for one booking only.
Your friendly hosts, Patson and Naomi Baea, offer a comfortable stay with seclusion and so much more.
