Everything everybody else says about the great setting, relaxed atmosphere, the food and the friendliness is true. It took us a day to relax and slow down after a busy term.

I went to Ha'atafu Beach in 2006 the meals were good however if it wasn't for the surfing I would have found there not much to do here as my sister who doesn't surf found it tiresome. I however loved my Fale and the weather was raining quite a lot but it didn't stop you from going out as even... More
