# Longstay in Samoa / Selfcatering Houses Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Samoa
rogerbeacon 21:43 UTC 02 Nov 2009 | Hi, I am planning to stay with my wife and baby-son for some three weeks in Samoa. Rather than exploring the islands ruthlessly we intend to stay a one base (or two) and make some daytrips in a rental car. Rather than staying in some resort we would like to stay in a self-catering house or appartment somewhere close to some beach. Is there something like this in Samoa? I did not find anything in the guidebooks. Any suggestions for staying somewhere for more than ten days and not paying a fortune?? Thanks RB |

sue0755 23:03 UTC 26 Nov 2009 | hi another place which looks good, is calso excutive homes. to check it out. go to samoa-hotels.ws then click on villas / apartments. it's just out of town,so not really near a beach, but your in samoa, no where is taht far from a beach really. grat idea to have a 'home base' and do the day trips , espically with the little ones! it has 2 bedrooms , full kitchen, washing machine. and it looks new and clean. and its only $230 tala night! ( min 5 night stay) looks good enjoy your holiday. sue | 2
