This comfortable bungalow was in a fantastic location right on the beach with great views. There were restaurants nearby particularly the Sailing club next door! We enjoyed the double kayak which we used everyday! We would go again!

    We wanted to support local businesses & experience traditional practices. We were able to do this after receiving very good local information from the owner where we stayed. Enjoyable & relaxing holiday.

    Rarotonga is a wonderful place for a peaceful family holiday...

    Rarotonga is a wonderful place for a peaceful family holiday. We especially enjoyed the fresh sushi (tuna) available at the many small eateries around the island, Taco Tues for Fresh Parrot Fish (soft) Tacos at Kai & Co and the awesome snorkelling and swimming everywhere. Saturday market is also a must visit as was Capt. Tamas and also to get in an island night dinner/show. If you want flexibility, highly recommend you consider hiring a car or bike to allow you to fully explore and stop as you wish.

    Wonderful place. Lovely people. Great beaches.

    Wonderful place. Lovely people. Great beaches. A good place to chill out after seeing the sites of Raro. Good snorkelling and swimming 🏊‍♀️. Bus's around the island if you don't want to hire a car. A day trip to Aitutaki is a must do.

    Absolute gem.

    Absolute gem. After our last few trips to Bali and Lombok dealing with noise/traffic/pollution, we wanted a more authentic holiday location and felt we would be stuck in a resort all week if we went to Fiji. Rarotonga isn't a tourist hotspot yet and that suited us perfectly. People were friendly, transport was simple enough and it's a beautiful island with a proud culture on display. There are limitations based on the location, so no fresh milk and limited produce options, but for what they have they do great and being able to walk off the beach almost anywhere on the island and snorkel in clear and clean water with amazing sea life on display was well worth it. If you want cheap and nasty go to Bali, but if you want to experience local culture and life in the Pacific then I would highly recommend Raro.

    The island seems to be recovering from the Covid lockdown.

    The island seems to be recovering from the Covid lockdown. There were more tourist businesses than we remember from ten years ago but some great ones have gone. Still a very peaceful place to spend a week and the island never seemed busy even though it was NZ school holidays. Vaima’s is still a great beach restaurant and I had my best meal of the holiday (fish curry) there. Fantastic ika mata everywhere I went, plus great tuna steaks and sashimi. Snorkelling with turtles was a treat and worth doing but do book before you arrive on the island if you can. The Round Rarotonga Road Race was a great event if you’re a runner, as was the cross island “Nutters Run”. Also the Hash House Harriers running group was very friendly. Renting a car from Raro Cars was cheap and made everything easy.

    Rarotonga is so beautiful, and the people are wonderful (well, except for the one grouchy bus driver who is tired of tourists). I appreciate how well the residents care for their island home. It’s a very special place.

    Lovely view, quiet, up a hill. Felt very rural. The day I checked out I had to wait the whole day to get a flight in the evening, and the manager took my luggage to Muri Beach Club Hotel for storage. I was also allowed to hang around there. It was pouring with rain, so that was very nice.

    Superb location, right on one of the best swimming/snorkelling beaches in Rarotonga, so you just walk down the stairs from the balcony and straight into the water. The balcony was large with separate sitting and dining areas and wonderful views out over the lagoon to the reef.

    Very kind host Nev, location is great - close to Aroa beach which was one of the best snorkeling spots in Rarotonga, swam with a turtle and saw different species of fish. On western side so you can enjoy sunsets if the weather helps
