Welcome to Onea'tea our beautifully presented, small holiday home, with boats included, set in tidy grounds/gardens, located right on a lovely private, safe, white sandy beach on Hunga Lagoon, Vava'u.
An absolutely stunning location, with consistently great feedback received from our visitors and guests.
Just a few steps down from the deck of the house, the crystal clear, blue water welcomes you. The water is warm and very safe for swimming and snorkling.
Turtles can often be seen bobbing cheekily in the water amongst schools of fish in front of our house. Whales are also often seen outside the lagoon (June to November). Explore the sheltered lagoon by kayak, optimist or Pep'e (3.8M aluminium coastal pontoon boat with 2 stroke 15hp engine, 25 litre tank, rod holders, portable VHF and anchor), and venture out to visit neighbouring islands. Fish off the beach or take the boat out to catch a variety of fish for your dinner. Visit the local village or try local foods and crafts.
