Heron's Reef #3 Reef View Apartment

PeterRating, 5 stars10 months ago
From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed by the owner Sue. She was extremely helpful and informative. The accommodation was great with a fantastic view of the reef and perfect sunrises. The 3 dogs and 3 cats and heaps of chickens were entertaining. I flew solo but would be great for a couple as well. Thanks Sue !!

Private Hideaway Penthouse with views of Sunsets

LauraRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Lovely stay in penthouse. Beautiful views and short walk to peaceful beach with loungers. As mentioned in the description, there is a nightly ‘dog chorus’ but that’s not controllable as they seem to be scattered around the island. Overall I would definitely recommend this place- the grounds are well-cared for and the amenities, view and location are fabulous

Barefoot Base Tupapa

RyszardRating, 5 stars9 months ago
It was a great experience.hey were very responsive to all of my enquires prior to the stay. Bill was very helpful and accomodating. He showed me all the interesting and important places on the island. TBill was very supportive since I was alone. It was very quiet and close to the beach for a walk along the beach. All eating facilities were within walking distance. It was a very convenient location for the buses going around the island. A car could be useful but not essential. The major town, Avarua was only four km away. The airport was only approximately six km away. There were paw fruits, bananas and passion fruits which were offered off the property. Bill made sure that the plate on the kitchen always made sure that fresh fruits were always on that plate. Bill was hospitable and I would highly recommend the place for either a single person or couple.

Vaka Beach Retreat - on Vaimaanga Beach

VinceRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Words can't describe how much we loved our stay at this place and our holiday in Rarotonga. The hosts are the best we've ever experienced on this platform. Everything is close, bus stop right outside, kayaks for use, restaurant next door. Water melon and coconut buns on arrival were just what we needed after a late flight. Use of the BBQ and amazing sea views from the balcony completed the picture. Thank you to our kind hosts for making this our best holiday ever...we will definitely be back!!

Tamarini River Studio Accessible near Beach & Town

SharonRating, 5 stars17 months ago
Perfect location for short walk to town, 15-20 mins easy. Big shower (wheelchair friendly) and toilet area, both very clean. Especially grateful that my elderly mother was able to access shower independently. I did have problems with regulating the hot water, but in saying that, Pasha did give clear details of who to contact should I need any help, I didn't, so its on me. Accommodation description was correct in terms of size ie small studio but it catered to our needs and we were very happy and comfortable with it. Mozzies were regular visitors until I lit the coils supplied by Sue and Pasha. Both Sue and Pasha were overly accommodating (so so grateful). Both hosts were overseas when I arrived which wasnt an issue as their clear communication and instructions made it a stress free check in, 5 night stay and check out booking. Would definitely book here again.

Exceptional Property, Eco-friendly & Awarded

SamyraRating, 5 stars4 days ago
The accommodations were absolutely amazing. The house is magnificently crafted with attention to detail, very spacious and had every amenity you can possibly need. The shower was magical, large with great water pressure. The hosts are very friendly and always willing to provide assistance if needed. The location is beautiful, peaceful, and private. I could not have asked for more.

Moana Sunset Beach Villa

TrudyRating, 5 stars3 months ago
We had an amazing stay at Moana Sunset villa. Beautiful views, beautiful big bathrooms, house had everything we needed and it was super handy to a number of great eating spots plus a short drive to great snorkeling near The Rarotongan. We definitely preferred the West side of the island. Eddie also checked in on us to make sure everything was okay. Would definitely stay here again.

"Anchor's Rest"- Relax, rest and getaway

TracyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Perfect spot for a relaxing getaway. The pool is clean and well positioned for both sun and shady spots. The lagoon is only a minute walk down a sandy track and we spent hours snorkeling and marveling at the beautiful fish/starfish etc. Decent meals and cocktails just a couple minutes walk down the beach. Property itself was clean and well laid out. Comfy beds and clean linen. The home does have some wear and tear but nothing to complain about. BYO bathroom essentials as only handsoap is provided. Hammock needs replacing as is falling apart, but plenty of other outdoor furniture. We shared the property with some geckos, chooks, and an occasional wandering dog but all friendly. 100% will stay here again.

Poreo Holiday Home - Wheelchair accessible

KristianRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We stayed here as a family of six (two adults and four kids under five) for two months and had a great experience. The house is close to everything on Muri Beach—cafés, restaurants, supermarkets, and the night market are all within walking distance. Cathy was a fantastic host. She responded quickly if anything came up and made us feel very welcome. We really appreciated the fresh fruit she brought us regularly, and the lemon drizzle on Mother’s Day was a lovely surprise. The house worked really well for a longer stay. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a well-equipped kitchen with everything we needed to cook properly. We a baby cot, a high chair, and plenty of space for everyone and lots to do on the beach. The outdoor areas were great too, with room to eat outside and a barbecue we used often. One of the highlights was using the kayaks to paddle out in the lagoon—we saw turtles and eagle rays several times, which was incredible. We’d definitely stay here again and would recommend

Starboard Ocean Villa (pool, oceanfront, free car)

CallumRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had the most amazing time at Starboard which was pure paradise. From the moment we arrived, the stunning ocean views took our breath away, and the villa itself was better than the photos. The infinity pool was our daily retreat, we couldn't get enough of it. The kitchen was fully equipped, making it easy to cook meals, and the complimentary coffee, fruit, and fresh bread were great touches. Waking up to the sunrise over the ocean each morning was a highlight. While the beach in front of the villa is more for sunbaking than swimming, the pool more than made up for it. Muri Beach is also just a short drive away and perfect for swimming. Having the car included was amazing. It made exploring the island, going to dinners, and doing day tours really easy. Our host Anita went above and beyond to assist us during our stay (including meeting us at the airport on the final day to collect the car) - the epitome of a super host. Don’t hesitate - book now!

Tiare Villa

CiaraRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
If you’re planning a trip to Rarotonga I highly recommend staying at Sharon’s. Located right on a beautiful beach and walking distance or a short bus ride to Muri where there is a beautiful lagoon and lots of restaurants. The house was beautiful and clean, and lots of touches like plenty of filtered water left for us which was greatly appreciated. Unfortunately we didn’t get to use the kayaks whilst we were there as the sea was rough after a storm, but I would definitely stay there again just so we could kayak and explore the reef off the property. Our little one loved wandering down to the beach in the evenings to look for crabs. The kitchen had everything we needed, with a shop and Villis burger joint across the road - best burgers ever! The Cook Islands Coffee co is located right next door with the most delicious coffee and pastries. Waking up to the view of the palm trees and sea was a pleasure every morning. We did not want to leave!

Titikaveka Beachfront home

JanetteRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Teresa place was great, there was a group of five of us staying for a week and there was plenty of room for us to have our space and enjoy the laidback pleasure of the house, the lagoon and raro. The house has pretty much everything you need and Mo next door who looks after the place is super helpful if you need anything or want local knowledge. As you can see from the photos, the place isn’t new and a few things don’t work but you’re in paradise, we all said that we would definitely stay again. Thanks Teresa.
