The house was EVERYTHING!! Well thought out, the open plan layout was perfect for the heat. It accommodated our needs and definitely exceeded all our expectations. A home away from home. The mountains are amazing to take a moment to gaze at while the clouds moved thru them (we were mesmerised) and the beach was quite literally down the driveway and across the road. We passed thru Go Local turtle exploration to get to the beach, they are a warm and friendly bunch and would often ask how our stay was going if they weren't preparing to take people turtle watching. Also about 1.5km away is Wigmores convenience store opened 24 hours.

The house is brand new, comfortable, modern & stylish with a high stud which provides a great sense of space. 6 metre wide bifold doors open onto extensive front deck. 4 metre bifold doors open onto large back deck. The turquoise lagoon is just a 100 m walk to the beach through a vacant beach front property. White sand beach fringed with coconut palms. Great for snorkelling, paddle boarding, kayaking & swimming. Serene & relaxing with stunning mountain views from all aspects of the house.
I am a Cook Islander. I love spending time in Rarotonga. I really enjoy the beautiful pristine beaches, the friendly faces of the local people. Scuba diving is one of my favourite activities on the island. The cross the island walk is a must. And of course plenty of rest & relaxation. Which is easy to do in Raro as it has such a laid back vibe. The local produce & fresh fish are a highlight too.
The best beaches are only a 5 - 10 minute drive from our place. Fantastic snorkelling & swimming beaches. It's a 5 minute drive to the local shop Wigmores superstore for fresh local produce & all your daily needs. Salt Water Cafe within walking distance.
