mosquitoes, Verandha was a little small , the out door shower needs a rubber mat to stand on as the gravel stones are a bit sharp and a small plastic dish for washing sandy feet would be helpful but overall was a nice place to stay

light comfortable clean , friendly owners,close to beach,was great having members of our group in a front Seaview chalet so we could share their lovely big verandha and seaview

Couldn't get WiFi signal but didn't really matter as was there to switch off and could pick it up elsewhere on the island. It was really hot and humid during our stay and there isn't any AC, just fans, so that was a bit of a struggle at times. Bring earplugs... as with anywhere in Raro, dogs and roosters can be boisterous in the night and morning.

This is such a great place to stay. Nootoa and the family who own and run the properties were so welcoming and friendly. It's on the West side of the island and right on the beach which you can have a dip in to cool down but it isn't really for swimming as there's lots of rocks on that western coastline. The beach is literally right outside and there's never really many or any other people there - it feels really private and there is some snorkeling equipment and reef shoes provided. There's a bbq on the newly refurbished deck and a kitchen for cooking and it has pretty much everything you need to be self-sufficient. Milk, water, bananas, starfruits and passionfruits were provided for us on arrival. Nearby and within walking distance, there's Falafel Shack, Pacific Fish & Chips, Beluga (brunch/lunch) and Castaways (beach bar and restaurant) if you want to dine out or go for a drink. Would recommend a car or scooter to make sure you can get around the island to the markets and good swimming and snorkeling spots - A'roa beach nearby was my favourite. Nootoa kindly helped us to arrange a taxi from and to the airport. Amazing sunsets. Would highly recommend a stay here!

The lizards

Fabulous spot. Close to amenities. Great lagoon right outside off the lovely new deck. Terry was so kind to give us a lift to other accommodation for our final night and took us to get our rental scooter. Lovely bowl of tropical fruit on arrival as well.

Fabulous spot. On arrival we had a bottle of water, milk, pawpaw, bananas and limes in the unit. Bungalow was well equipped with everything we needed. Beach was private and pristine. We will be returning to this accommodation next time we come to Rarotonga.

Perfect location, house with everything you need, the hosts very helpful , were waiting for us with their sweet dogs :-) Walking along the beach you can go to Castaway, the place with live music, nice food and the wiev: you can watch whales .... You can also see whales sitting on the porch of the house, watching sunsets and listening to the ocean. You can plunge into the water , the house is right on the beach :-) You can be totally self contained or cafes and restaurants just next door. The bus stops next to the property if you need it. Happy to stay there :-) and thanks for takig back to the airport :-)

The bed was a bit soft . But some mattresses have a doft side and a firm side.

The whole place is awesome loved the experience. Will love to go back.

Took a few days to get used to roosters crowing in the neighbourhood.

Close to the beach, pretty and very clean. Other people staying in the units became friends. Friendly staff. Loved seeing the whales just off the reef. Close to restaurants, cafes and amenities

The property was in an excellent location, right on the beachfront and very close to cafes (Beluga nearby was exceptionally good), restaurants, scooter hires and food markets. The apartment was clean and had a fully equipped kitchen. The hosts were extremely friendly as well. Highly recommend a stay here.

Could have a sign up showing that you are at the property. Owner said they would look to put a sign up. No sun no hot water. TV not great but you are not there to watch TV.

The location was perfect, right on the beach and close to other restaurants, markets etc, The property and grounds were kept very clean and tidy. Good value for money. Very private.

I would have liked to have seen the owners before we left to thank them for a wonderful time. Also the write up said we had a super king bed but it was only a queen but it was still very comfortable.

The Location was just perfect we got to sit on the deck and watch the Whales going past

Didn't like leaving, would be my first complaint. Haha. The hot water system needs attention.

Had everything we needed. Loads of privacy with lots of sunchairs for relaxing. No swimming pool but found splashing in the sea was way more fun and entertaining. Maybe a few more goggles and snorkels would be nice. Would highly recommend to all.

Outstanding location and set up just perfect.

The tv reception wasn't great but we were not there to watch TV so didn't really bother us. Not a fan of the roosters crowing in the wee hours of the night, but the fan mostly drowned them out anyway. If you are not a fan of dogs, then it may not be the place for you as they have two dogs. We loved them but like all dogs on the island they are free to roam and will bark in the middle of the night.

We were treated to an upgrade so were in the beach house which was amazing - beautiful grounds that led on to the beach and lovely house with everything you need. Terry and Annie were so lovely and helped with anything we needed. Kujo and Keiser their dogs were also lovely and would often visit us - being dog people we loved their visits.

Bed could have been a bit firmer but was fine. Bathroom could do with a facelift! Dogs barking at night. This is common in Raro so it wasn’t a big issue.

Right on the beach. Could sit in bed and look at the sea drinking morning coffee. The owner’s family was very helpful.
