Here for a week with my 2 daughters and grandson, we had a 2 bedroom villa which was spacious and well presented both inside and out, well equiped kitchen ( if you wanted to cook) Amazinglycomfortable beds and the pool was directly outside our villa. Sane was very helpful and organised our car hire for us. Our first visit to Rarotonga and hopefully not the last, a truly unspoilt beautiful place. Patricia (UK)

For five nights I enjoyed my well appointed suite, which had facilities for laundry, cooking, outdoor bbq, and patio. The outdoor patio had covered areas which were great during the occasional rains. There was an inside shower and an outdoor soaking tub. Many sliding doors with screens allowed cross ventilation, and it all could be closed at night for cooling with the mini split. The outdoor pool area also had two smaller hot tubs. Though there was a breakfast area in the common area, breakfast was by prearrangement, and I did not take advantage of that. Spa services were available, and a bicycle was also available for hire. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Though the villas are not on the main island tourist bus route, it is about a 1km walk to one of the main intersections. The Saturday market is about a 24 minute walk. To trader jacks, 27 minutes. I would definitely stay here again.

Highly recommended place! Sane and staff are very accommodating and very friendly. Bananas and lemongrass were given free and shared some vinegar for my dressing! 😊 Place is quiet and very relaxing which is also what we need for this vacation. Lots of DVDs free to borrow. Location is handy to shops and restaurants. Parking is ample.

Sane and her team made staying here so easy. My daughter loved the local cat smoocher who always came for a visit a breakfast time. The bed was the perfect with a soft topper on. The general up keep of the property beautiful. It's easy to see the staff take pride in caring for the promises. A great stay close to the shops etc. Breakfast was great and also provided my much loved Cook Islands donuts. Thanks you for making our stay so easy kia manuia Lisa and Stevie ❤️🙌

I loved that my room had everything i needed for example washing machine/dryer, basically a full kitchen & everything that you need, table/chairs, outdoor area it's like a mini home. I was a little scared to take a shower at night but i got use to it. Sane (manager) was very lovely making sure i was alright etc the other staff gave me a mango on my way out (thankful because i love them). I will be recommending this spot to anyone who's looking for accomm in Raro.
