The pictures do not do justice to this wonderful accommodation. The villa is huge, well kept, and with everything you need for a wonderful week on Niue. We had coffee many mornings on the lower level front porch while watching spinner dolphins. From the upper story porch, at low tide you can see many tropical fish -- even more closely with the binoculars provided. And it is lovely to take a bath outdoors in the bathtub while watching the amazing collection of night stars. Add in Lau's tie-dyed sheets (they match some of the flora!), being near to the Avatele beach, and the host's willingness to answer questions and help with tours, and this place is pretty much the definition of paradise.

Lau’s Getaway was absolutely perfect. It has everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. The first two days we were in Niue it rained almost non-stop so we spent quite a bit of time in the villa but there is so much space that the rain didn’t matter at all. The kind size bed is one of the comfiest I’ve slept in. There was an extra blanket if required which was nice because coming from Dunedin I’m used to having lots of weight on me from blankets when I sleep. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need to prepare meals. Avi provides an incredible breakfast basket with the necessities which is so helpful. We brought bacon to Niue with us and had bacon and eggs for breakfast several times using the eggs and bread provided by Avi. The view from the two balconies is out of this world. It was where we spent the majority of our time when we were at the villa watching the ocean and the dolphins that swim past almost every day during the day and watching the stars at night. The Scenic Circle resort is about 900 metres down the road which was handy for happy hour, takeaway pizza or a meal out. Town is about a 10-15 minute drive, with the airport only a five minute drive. We hired a car from Avi and this was such a must. We loved that everyone waved as we drove past and the layer back speed limits really got us into holiday mode. Finally my partner lost his phone early in the trip however by word of mouth Avi managed to find this for us (sadly just after we left) and has posted this back. Thank you so much Avi for making this an incredible holiday we will never forget. We loved our time in Niue and staying at Lau’s Getaway. We will definitely be back.
