Guest Reviews

• Linda (10/5): Can’t wait to come back. - Fantastic spot you never need to go anywhere Location is the best. The only thing it needs a sign out the front very hard to find late at night.
• Barbara (9/5): A perfect little hide-away if you want peace and quiet away from the hustle of the big resorts - The property was in a prime position nestled right on the beach. The property was clean and we were well looked after during our stay with cleans and check-ins in between and fresh fruit provided. The host was very responsive to our needs The property provided a kitchen with basic equipment all in working order. What would have been nice if there was the basic such a salt and pepper and maybe coffee & teabags and a bit of milk to cover the first day after your arrival.
• Joe (10/5): -
• Esther (8/5): A view of paradise on the most comfortable of balconies - The balcony was the best part - spacious with so many seating options to follow the sun or shade, with a view of perfection. Having the kayaks was great too. A fantastic holiday Some notes rather than criticism for owners: It would be better if there had been a different way to get in touch. To activate the Cook Islands SIM we bought in advance we need to be able to get onto the internet. So we couldn’t contact them to get the code & my phone wouldn’t connect to international roaming. If we’d been given the code the day earlier then it would have saved the stress. Also there was no information book, so once we got inside, getting the Wi-Fi code, so we could contact the owner easily, was really difficult (& expensive with international roaming).
• Darren (10/5): Sheltered deck, even in the strongest of Easterlies .Loved walking straight into the sea for swims. -
• Cathrina (10/5): Rest relax beautiful with sea views from every room. - Location right on the beach, private and close to everything. Food shop and restaurant easy walk away. They place was well fitted out and clean. Loved our stay will come again.
• Gail (7/5): A delightful place right on the water. - This property is on the water with a big, covered deck with great outdoor furniture. There are lots of kyacks and snorkelling gear. It’s a delightful place to swim and relax.
• Wattie (8/5): Very good -
• Cait (8/5): Very good - The location is amazing. The lagoon is the best and having the wigmore across the street is super convenient.
• Dannynheather (9/5): The location of this property is 10 out of 10. Beautiful spot sitting right on the beach. - Lovely little house right on the water's edge. Beautiful sandy beach only a few steps away. Prefect place for a romantic little drink in the afternoon or evening. Nice big deck to sunbath or relax in the shade on. Loved our stay .
• Simon (6/5): Pleasant -
• Lisa (10/5): Bliss - Fantastic location Large deck Excellent owner
• Paul (8/5): Very good - Location Needs air conditioning
• Haydn (8/5): Very relaxing with superb snorkelling. - Excellent location right on/over the beach. The large balcony with plenty of seating means you can get out of the sun, wind or rain when needed, (south of the island is a bit windy so this was good). The house was very clean and has everything you need. Also great to have the kayaks and snorkelling gear as the sea life (including turtles!) is amazing here. Nothing specific - the house appears to have Starlink and we messaged the hosts to find out if it was for guests, but didn’t get a reply. Would have been nice to be able to use the nice big smart TV though.
• Ron (9/5): Great place to stay on Rarotonga - The house is perfect for a couple that wants a little more room than just a bungalow. Beautiful beach, easy access to snorkel and kayak gear. One of the best beaches around. The owner was very responsive when we had questions. Two minor issues really. No local phone so I had to buy a local sim card to make local calls to arrange trips on our stay. The other was a security night light on a timer that came on every night on the back deck. We wanted to sit outside and enjoy the stars, not possible since we couldn't turn off the light. It also required is to close all of that drapes in the house to make it dark enough to sleep. Internet was minimal but we could get it if you stood in the right spot on the back deck. It worked well enough to get email.
• Cherryl (10/5): Spectacular location. Sea at the - Loved the swimming in the lagoon right out the front door. Amazing covered deck area. House has all the basics.
• Jo (9/5): Superb -
• Heather (8/5): Great stay will be back but try for the bigger unit if coming again with family - Great Location on the beach and close to Wigmores. Good comfortable deck with snorkelling and canoe facilities. Good off site parking for the rental and nice enclosed clothes line for drying. Didn't need to visit other beaches as had all we needed in front of us. Did touristy stuff last trip Needed the fold down couch into a double bed in the lounge as had to sleep with my daughter in the double bed. Grand daughter had the spare bed. Great for a couple but not for single people.
• Anne-marie (9/5): Fabulous location and very relaxing - Excellent location close to great snorkeling
• Garth (10/5): Exceptional - Such an amazing spot, couldn’t fault it if I tried!
• Alex (8/5): Great place to stay - The view, parking and friendly hosts were amazing The water pressure in the shower was terrible. The wind was very strong but there was no where to tie down the plastic wind guards.
• Sara (10/5): Outstanding location on the water - The location is superb: right on the water on the best side of the island. We found bad weather but with the sun it would have been exceptional. I would have liked to have a top sheet, as it was quite cold and didn’t love having the blanket directly on me. Checking instructions could be improved as we struggled to find the place and had to call the host a couple of times, which was complicated with our SIMs and flat battery.
• Siobhan (10/5): Will be rebooking! - This property is epic! Great location on a pretty quiet beach front with great swimming right outside. The photos do not do it justice, it's a great layout. Very functional kitchen with all the utensils/ implements etc needed. More than ample towels and face cloths provided. The washing machine and covered line area is great. The outside deck is so spacious and the sound of the beach is amazing. It was raining the whole time we were there but because the back half of the deck is covered it was absolutely fine. Tia is great, very easy to communicate with and had a great smoothie bar at the Muri night markets. Location is fab, so close to everything but feels like you are in your own little slice of paradise! Would absolutely stay here again and if you have a bigger group you could rent the place next door as well.
• Natalie (8/5): A wonderful location - and a very relaxing stay with a great host! - Location was amazing
• Helen (7/5): Fantastic and would totally stay at this place again. - Superb location right on the beach, felt very private. Excellent snorkelling location, free use of kayaks and snorkelling equipment. Accomodation was pleasant and comfortable. Awesome deck which we spent most of our time on looking out to the amazing view. Tia was lovely and good communication. The ants, but this is very common in Raro.
• Jessie (9/5): We loved our stay, the location and aspect of the apartment on the beach were fantastic, and only a short walk to restau - The location and aspect of the property is amazing. We didn’t like the automatic lights on the deck and beachfront. We would have liked to be able to turn these off. Also there was no internet or phone.
• Marc (10/5): This was the most beautiful location on the island. Had the beautiful sandy beach all to ourselves nearly every day of o - Everything about this property was amazing. It was clean, private, comfortable and had everything we needed for a three week stay. Nothing!!
• Touristnz (9/5): Excellent would return again. - Close to overwater bach experience that the beachfront photos don't show.Excellent privacy and bach is well appointed. Difficult to find the bach as cleaners did not put out the sign and there is no photo of the bach from the roadside to identify it - luckily we arrived on the afternoon flight so we spent a pleasant afternoon driving around the village until we found it.
• John (10/5): Perfect and easy - Best location. Smoothed out sand, crystal clear water, restaurant across the road. Everything was easy. Maybe have a combination of low, medium to high puffy pillows to accommodate people of all postures.
• Nicola (8/5): Very good - Clean crisp sheets, outdoor furniture. Staff nice and very accommodating. Were abit cold and needed blankets. ( asked next day) We needed to wash each dish and cup before use due to coffee stains and food, and them looking like they had just been quickly run under the cold tap. TV didnt work. No biggie. Just no need to be there. Door on bedroom/curtains for more privacy in rooms.
• Simon (10/5): Exceptional - The Staff where brilliant. We rented for a month at very, very short notice after our previously booked accomidation "Disappeared" within a hour of our departure from NZ. Tia was our hero and managed to rotate us between her two locations so the " Issue" turned out to be a lucky break in the end. The location has excellent swimming 10 paces away .. not too deep until your out a bit , good snorkelling kayaking. ( Gear all came included). Walked along the beach to the see the turtles and there where rumours of them swimming all over the lagoon but we where not lucky enough to see them except on the tour. However the sight of Whales breeching viewed from the deck made up for that. Wigmores has everthing you need for a long stay and if you dont feel like cooking or going out the Chicken plate from there takeaways is highly recommended. Vakas on the beach is any easy walk along the beach and Charlies a long walk but worth it. Buses run right by the door and once you get the app, they are really conveniant. The places themselves, I think Tia herself would say " Batchy " rather than grand but really all you need and they are kept very clean by the couple who look after them. The month flew by and we left totally relaxed and unwound... Loved our time and Shall return Laura and Simon
• Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
• Renee (9/5): Great beach house. Great location. Could have stayed a lot longer!!! - Right on the beach. Fantastic to have Kayaks available for use. Beach house with wonderful views of the ocean. BBQ would have been a great addition. Shower was basic.
• Elly (9/5): Amazing views right on the beach - The location right on the beach and the amazing deck and outdoor living The bed was a little uncomfortable and it would have been nice to have beach towels and snorkelling equipment available
• Anthony (9/5): We'll be back! - Location is fantastic right on a beautiful beach with all tide swimming. Great large covered deck area so you can sit out in sun or rain. Cool, comfortable accommodation with good ventilation and ceiling fans in each room A safe would be nice for passports etc.. Possibly a table fan in kitchen? These are minor point though.
