Cabañas Moenga

I can't say enough good things about this place! Matthias and Alejandra made me feel completely at home. We grilled out more than once. There was even a celebration for another guest's birthday! One of the most interesting parts of the stay was the coffee. Matthias grows organic coffee in the garden (along with delicious avocados). I'm a coffee fanatic, so he let me pick my own coffee in the garden. Then, he taught me the entire process of how to bring coffee from beans to cup. It was fascinating! The best part is that I'm bringing organic coffee I roasted myself home from Easter Island to give as gifts. That's so much more interesting than "normal" souvenirs!

Huts set in wooded "glades", adequately equipped with well-used kitchen equipment and towels. BUT cockerels and dogs were noisy and biting insects attacked. Mini-market and small restaurant within 200 yards and interesting church playing unfamiliar tunes at 09.00 and 18.00. Helpful owner and free airport transfer. Everything in Easter Island is expensive as it all has to be flown in thousands of miles. Very interesting moai and history, but you'll do a lot of walking. Forget lounging on a beach - there's only one. Good diving. Perfect for talking to someone special because there's no late night life.

True islander style guesthouse experience - basic but comfortable. Chickens running free and exceptionally friendly cats, this is all part of the islander lifestyle and culture. Brilliant if you want to get out of the drab of 'just another hotel room' and you're out all day exploring anyway. Supermarket just a short stroll away and the main strip a 5 minute walk away. The only disappointment was the intermittent connectivity of the free wifi, but it appears to be chronically island-wide. Shout out to Mattias for a very comfortable and enjoyable stay!
