We had a great time at Taina's Place. Fe'a, the young manager is very friendly, helpful and accomodating. She invited my partner and I to go out with her and her friends, making it the best way to experience life on the island. Once, my partner and I were not back from our excursion by nightfall and she even organised... More

Loved our time here and cant wait to return, very relaxed, our accommodation was basic but absolutely immaculate. Everyone very friendly and welcoming. Our son camped and we had a cottage. Great kitchen for cooking and use of a fridge too. Great local maps and suggestions for things to do. Cant recommend it highly enough.

I stayed at Taina's Place for my 2 nights on 'Eua. It is in a nice isolated part of the island, just a short hike to the big banyan tree and a wonderful waterfall. It is a bit out of town but you can usually get a ride with the local. The facilities are basic (as with most places on... More

Spent 2 days here in late February, although it pretty much rained constantly, It failed to dampen the spirit on 'eau. Taina's place is in a beautiful setting, however quite a distance from the main town (but you can hitchhike everywhere, and most times you don't even have to ask), I was the only guest at tainas place, and fae...

Had a great stay with friends at Tania's place this November. I camped and the others stayed in the cabins. It's located in a perfect position to explore the island and staff provide plenty of information on places to go and things to do. Great kitchen and hang-out area too. I'd recommend this place over the others on the island.

Taina's place in 'Eua continues to offer friendly hospitality, helpful staff and an opportunity to see this great little island's natural beauty. The staff put on a trip to Fangatave caves and beach for us which was really a great experience - more like a family picnic than a tour. The scenery was magical. The island's tourist infrastructure is improving,... More

We stayed there a month ago and it was great. Fae and Jasmine are really helpful and cook nice Tongan food. We had a great time and if you want to have a real Tongan style experience this is the place to go. It's basic but they have everything you need and know all the great place to visit!

I loved my time at Taina's place. It was clean, comfortable and peaceful, but best of all was the great service from Jasmin and Fe. Nothing was a problem for them to help with or arrange (like maps, bikes, guides, etc.) and they were great company too! So many great memories from Eua packed into just a few days. I... More

I had a great time at Taina's place. Great hiking in its surrounding area such as the Smoking Hole, the Rat's Cave, the Rock Gardens and the lookouts. The rooms are comfortable and clean with hot water and mains electricity. However it was Mini and her friends who made my stay memorable, they are so nice and were very helpful.... More

My previous review said "We have already booked our return trip" and now I can tell you that trip was just great. The place continues to be clean, well run, friendly and a great base from which to explore the rainforest and beaches of 'Eua. It is good value for money too!
