Kaitoke cottage is very close to the Claris Airport, car rental, food store, fuel, bottle shop and cafe. It is a good base for exploring the island. For swimming it is easier to drive the short distance to beautiful Medlands Beach which has parking and easy access to the water. The kitchen in the cottage has every conceivable implement you might need and the fridge/freezer was a good size. The house feels spacious and has a sheltered private deck with an excellent bbq and undercover seating and dining table. The upstairs bedroom has plenty of room and a large comfortable main bed. There is a second bed in this room and a downstairs bedroom has a double bed. Several of the windows have insect mesh so you can keep windows open and keep cool in summer. The cottage had been immaculately cleaned. Internet access is excellent and with solar power it is better to charge devices in daylight hours. It pays to be mindful there is no mains water on the island and water conservation is important. There is plenty of room to park a boat and there is a place for filleting fish.
