Maketu Gem is a real gem. The unit is very large and spacious which is not reflected in the description and was quite a surprise. It has all the amenities that one needs for an extended stay. Great kitchen with full size electric oven plus a microwave. Large bedroom with a nice comfortable queen size bed. Living room was very spacious with smart TV. The hosts (Rachael & Warren) were great and made sure that we were comfortable and had everything needed for our stay (included a plate of local oysters). Maketu has great beaches and surf/river side parks with electric barbecues and benches. The entrance to the lagoon and river provides a great places to swim or surf. All these public amenities are within walking distance. There is also a great surfing beach that is in walking distance as well. Defiantly a stay at the Maketu Gem is value for money.
