Tekarera Inn Is an ideal place from which to explore the beauty and wonder of the magical island of Rapa Nui. Paul's warmth and hospitality made a visit very special. We enjoyed our four days and with each passing day felt more refreshed and relaxed. Paul arranged early breakfast for us so we could leave before dawn to see the... More

Having spent an 18 night stay in both Kainga Nui and Tekarera Inn we could not recommend a better place to stay on Easter Island. The location is ideal, situated as it is just a 10 minute walk from Hanga Roa town and with the impressive Tahai site right on your doorstep; an ideal spot to watch the sun sink... More

We (a middle-aged couple who look for home comforts when we travel) must reluctantly give a thumbs-down to Tekarera Kainga Ora. We strongly agree with many reviewers’ comments that owner Paul Pownall is a good host and a magnificent guide – but Tekarera did not measure up to our expectations for tourist accommodation at the time of our visit in...

Stayed a week at Paul's in January and had the best of time! The rooms are spotless, Isabella does a fantastic job in cleaning, did our laundry and everything was impeccable! Breakfast is ok, personally do not care much for instant coffee but it seems to be the norm... Paul is vey helpfully and will do his very best to... More

My wife and I recently stayed at Paul's Tekerara Inn for two nights and rented his 4X4 vehicle. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and appreciated the hospitality of both the inn keeper and camaraderie with other guests sitting outside and dining on the lovely open porch overlooking a view of moai and the ocean. You can view a short video watching... More

This morning I left Easter Island after one week there - i miss it already and if I had my time again would have arranged to stay longer! The island is amazing and Tekarea is the perfect base to explore it from. Located near ahus and moais, great, big clean rooms, awesome breakfast... by far the nicest place I´ve stayed.... More

My husband and I stayed with Paul last September (September 2012) and we had the most wonderful time. Paul is incredibly kind and knowledgeable - from the first email inquiring about a room until the moment he dropped us off at the airport, he treated us like family. We stayed on the island for 5 nights in one of the... More

We stayed with Paul as host and guide for five nights. Wonderful experience. We stayed in the unit at the end of the long lanai, two bedrooms plus living room, dining room, full kitchen. Breakfasts excellent. Tours very informative, interesting with Paul telling stories of the island, the islanders, the Moai and quarries, so much more. Two half day tours... More

I stayed at Tekarera Inn for three nights and had an wonderful stay. Originally, I had planned to stay at Hare Swiss for the six nights I was on Easter Island, but they only had availability for three nights. Peter, one of the managers at Hare Swiss, recommended Tekarera for the other three nights and I am so glad he... More
