The host so lovely and welcoming and it was a lovely spot to come and rest for a few days. The beachside view is amazing though we expected nothing less and the cottage and its facilities were perfect for a two person getaway.
My daughter and I stayed for 6 days, it was such a lovely little get away and perfect for our needs. Jaewyn and her family are super friendly and helpful.
My daughter especially loved waking up to see the ducklings and chickens running around the lawn.
Lovely owners who make you feel welcome and part of their family (tropical fruit platter, Sunday doughnuts …). Welcome us at our late night arrival at the airport. Gave us precious local information and even organize our trip to Aitutaki. Our boys loved playing with their very nice young teenager boy. Very rare and amazing people.
We arrived in late, easy to follow directions to get to place, Jaewynn came to meet us in the morning,Nice stay @ their whare, & Club Raro 2 driveways down. Just one thing, i had my daughter & her friend (18yrs) they couldn’t get used to the chickens going off in the morning, all i said was Nau mai ki Rarotonga.

A quiet well equipped spacious bungalow but within a larger campus. Hence a large swimming pool. Right next to the bus and the ocean on the doorstep. Couple of pointers for improvement - wifi didn’t work in the bungalow but we used a hot spot from my phone to connect for my wife. And the path to the beach looked perilous. I realise to fix would take a lot of effort for just one bungalow. Plenty of quality eateries in easy walk
Muy buena ubicación. La playa a metros, cerca de otras mas maravillosas aún. Los pePropietarios encantadores, nos ayudaban con las excursiones y consejos. Muy amigables! Buena gente! Cuidan de la naturaleza, y aman a los animales!
