About this property

KUKi's Retreat

Only 5 minutes from town (unless you get distracted by a roadside coconut stop), our comfy island hideaway is near Taumeasina Island Resort and Palolo Deep for snorkeling with the fish - no fa'alavelave, just pure island life.

Overall stay was good and communication with Maria was really great. It really helped that the home had everything we needed especially the ability to do our laundry, cook our own food & the privacy to come & sit down at the dining table unwinding, talking with our kids about the days events. Home away from home :)

Staying at Kukis retreat during our holiday made all the difference for us. Everything was comfortable and it was perfect for our 18 month old with the wifi and smart tv to watch movies. We were so happy to find a holiday home that had everything we needed - a washing machine, aircon in every room, fast wifi and even an air fryer. Convenient as only 10 minutes from town. Will definitely book with them again if we go back to Samoa.

Home was well air conditioned, safe, secure, clean & tidy premises, beds are comfy, good working electrical appliances. Ree was an lovely host with great & prompt communication, maitenance guy Sapati was amazing & professional. Home was ideal for our family of 4 & close to amenities & Apia. Roosters from the neighbors were annoying as they start crowing from 3am, neighbors dogs kept coming in through a gap at the back, house was hard to find due to very poor signange on the main road. All in all its a great place to stay & I'll definately book again.

The rooms were comfortable and well-equipped, with air conditioning in all rooms as well as the living room🥰both inside and outside of the property was in excellent condition, which made a huge difference and added to our comfort. The facilities were spotless and perfectly set up, making our stay truly relaxing.The host was outstanding always friendly, responsive, and quick to answer any questions we had. You can really tell a lot of care has gone into creating such a welcoming and enjoyable space. We loved every moment of our stay and would highly recommend Kuki’s Retreat to anyone looking for a beautiful, stress-free getaway.

I found Kuki clean and tidy with all the necessary things needed for a home away from home. Great to have two showers and having aircon in each room and living area.The location was close but the turn off could be clearer on the main road as i got a bit lost looking for it. Thanks so much for this lovely stay and i recommend that a hand book would be useful in giving clear instruct6ions around what is required on checking out. I had expected wifi but I should have ckecked this out first.Anyhoo thanks Maria for the stay and would book again.

Thank you for your kind words. In the check-in instructions there was an unlimited WiFi Password available for you. And thanks to your feedback, we will now organize a road sign to help future customers find the location. Fa’afetai
