I went to Captain Cook's Hideaway on whim to meet some friends who were staying on Uoleva Island. I loved it. Yes its essentially camping in a wood hut, but there is no other people around, the beach is PERFECT and the reef is just there. If you are up for lying around in hammock, not showering other than to... More

We just came back from Uoleva Island and have been at Captain Cook's Hideaway for 6 nights (45 TP per fale, per night). It was a really nice and relaxing stay on this lonely island surrounded by crystal clear water and reef. Our fale had a double bed and a little veranda in the front situated right next to the...

We arranged it whilst on Lifuka Island with the great folk at Mariners Cafe and the owner of Captain Cook arranged our transfers to and from the resort. Accommodation is a basic but comfortable hut right on the beach looking out over... More
