Guest Reviews
- Janay (10/5): A slice of paradise, wonderful staff who couldn’t do enough to make our stay perfect! - Beautiful location, incredible bungalow! Fantastic private beach! Wonderful staff! Full sized pillows would be great! Other than that it was perfect!
- Lavinia (10/5): Outstanding - Excellent All good
- Marie (10/5): - We were looking for a relaxing holiday where we could just chill out and enjoy the view. The owners were accommodating and very friendly and thoughtful. Thank you for letting us check in early. The construction next door was not as annoying as you might have believed. We fell in love with what was on the doorstep. That view is to die for. Housekeeping were wonderful and attentive. The fact we have to go home to almost winter.
- Petra (10/5): Excellent hosts and very relaxing holiday - Our weeks stay in Rarotonga Beach Bungalows was magnificent and fortunately we booked at what we observed was the best accommodation on the island. We did not see another accommodation as exquisitely positioned as the Rarotonga Beach Bungalows directly on the beach front to the most pristine blue waters. The bungalows are extremely private and tastefully styled in traditional Polynesian architecture, far enough away from the tourist crowds of Muri but still close enough to all. Not applicable
- Jayne (9/5): Chilled traditional style bungalow in a beautiful location, with everything you need - from kitchen to kayaks - to just - It’s traditional relaxed vibe, it’s out of the main drag location yet on a beautiful lagoon, its layout and spaciousness, its kitchen, the large balcony, the friendly staff, its privacy. It could do with some freshening up, but was very clean. The roof can be noisy when it rains.
- Jeffery (10/5): -
- Golds (10/5): Perfect beachfront relaxation - Right on beach. Positioned for privacy. Roomy bungalows with heaps of character
- Agathe (10/5): -
- Lauren (8/5): Absolutely beautiful beach bungalow! - Beautiful traditional bungalow right on the most stunning beach. The bungalow itself was well appointed but a little run down in some parts. The staff are also wonderful and super friendly, we were even spoiled with a a couple of bottles to help celebrate our honeymoon. It could do with a little sprucing up, especially considering the price asked. Also considering the price, perhaps a slightly nicer more expansive local produce breakfast hamper could have been provided.
Only other suggestions would be a few hooks or towels rails out on the balcony to hang/dry wet gear. And perhaps a bamboo mattress topper as the mattress is quite hard. Otherwise all was perfect!
- Ricky (10/5): Great stay at Rarotonga. We’ll be back soon! -
- Calum (10/5): Stunning experience, not cheap but would not hesitate to go back. - The location was stunning, the accomodation had a lot of character and appreciated the building materials and decor. The equipment was great, kayaks, snorkels etc and the hosts and staff were very friendly. Was 30th anniversary and it knocked it out the park. Had to leave at the end of the holiday. To be honest nothing to complain about.
- Alice Lucia (10/5): A little paradise in Rarotonga! - We had the most amazing stay in a beautiful bungalow right in front of the most stunning beach in Rarotonga. Every detail was carefully thought out, and everything was impeccably clean. Each bungalow has its own private patio and beach area, complete with sun loungers and a small table where we often enjoyed lunch with a view.
Kayaks and snorkelling gear were available for our personal use, which made it easy to explore the lagoon right in front of us.
Just a short walk away, there’s a well-stocked supermarket and several restaurants for breakfast, lunch, or dinner – perfect if you don’t feel like cooking.
A special mention goes to Emily and Jacqueline, the lovely housekeeping team – always friendly, attentive, and helpful. We also really appreciated the laundry facilities, which were a huge convenience after a long trip.
Every morning we had breakfast while watching whales just beyond the reef – absolutely magical.
Finally, a heartfelt thank you to Paara and his family for their incredible support when our flight was cancelled. Their help made all the difference.
Highly recommended – this place is a true paradise! Nothing at all to complain about! The only small suggestion would be to add a blackout curtain for the glass panels next to the bedroom window, to make the room darker in the morning
- Alan (10/5): -
- Beverley (9/5): It was an amazing and relaxing experience. Everything we could have wanted. - Loved being right on the beach, the decor of our bungalow and the friendliness of the staff One night, loud and persistent barking from a dog behind us kept my partner awake (from 3 am).
- Murray (9/5): - I think this is the best location on the Rarotonga island.
Great beach, handy to restaurants, supermarket.
Wonderful people always willing to help.
- Julia (9/5): If you want Beach front you will get it here! Best snorkelling and very private! - Everything. One of our fav places in Raro. Our family stayed next door at Moana Sands so we could all be together.
Pa the host is so lovely, very helpful! No longer do breakfast but you get a breakfast pack in your room. Room has a full kitchen so could cook meals for the grandkids from next door.
Right on the beach, with your own snorkelling gear and kayak. Best snorkelling spot on the island. 10min drive to Muri beach. Right next to Charlies
Room is HUGE! Would 100% return again! Nothing
- Stephen (9/5): Superb -
- Deborah (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful location, great snorkeling right out front. Quiet and peaceful. Met expectations, some people might find it a little rustic but that is part of the attraction.
- Andrew (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely, private, well appointed bungalows right on the beach.
Well equipped kitchen, comfortable bed and lovely deck and outside area with unrestricted sea views.
Lovely attentive staff.
- David (8/5): Very good -
- Cayler (10/5): Had a wonderful time! A perfect getaway on a beach that felt like your own! - Beautiful location on a secluded beach. Snorkeled everyday right off the beach! Restaurants close by within walking distance. Unlike a condo rental, we had maid service everyday. Which was nice. Very comfortable.
- Margo (9/5): Superb -
- Watson (10/5): Exceptional -
- Cathie (9/5): Superb -
- Michelle (10/5): Great hospitality and awesome position on the island - Gorgeous beach and great snorkeling We liked everything about it
- William (10/5): Exceptional -
- Bonnie (10/5): Everything exceeded our expectations. Comfort, location, cleanliness, and friendliness of staff were the highlights. - The bungalow was very comfortable and we truly enjoyed staying right on a beach. Nothing comes to mind
- Michelle (9/5): Superb -
- Hiram (10/5): Excellent holiday - Fantastic location right on the beach with easy access to the lagoon for swimming and snorkelling. A very private and quiet place to stay.
- Larry (9/5): Superb - Everything was fantastic. Beach was great for swim and snorkeling.
- David (8/5): Very good - Location was fantastic. Right on the beach. The bed was a bit hard, and there were no comfortable sofas or comfortable chairs. Very dark. No natural light at all.
- Annette (10/5): Simply the best. - The location was perfect, it was clean and tidy, Jaqueline and her assistant were friendly, polite and very thorough.
Having the use of kayak and snorkeling gear was a plus.
The breakfast hamper on arrival was delicious and Pa went out of his way to find us pawpaw.
Highly recommend this accommodation for a relaxing holiday.
- Sean (10/5): Exceptional -
- Emily (10/5): Beautifully furnished bungalow right on the beach - We stayed 8 nights here in June 2024 and loved our beachfront bungalow, Eke. Highly recommend. The bungalow felt roomy and we loved the airflow throughout via levered windows. There were many seating and lighting options. There was a fully equipped kitchen (which we did not use) and excellent eating options a quick walk from the property. Our favourite was the Little Polynesian restaurant a few hundred metres away. We made use of the kayaks and snorkelling gear - all high quality and well maintained. It was very handy to be able to wash our clothes in the laundry room too. Nothing
- Maryanne (8/5): It was great. - Breakfast and location were great, staff were amazing. We just found it so dark inside, the bedroom in the daytime even with all the lights on we would have to use our phone torches to find anything.
- Jane (6/5): Lovely tropical vibe. - The beachfront is lovely. Our beachfront room was very Somerset Maugham.
Bamboo walls, ceilings lined with fabric.
There was a nice welcome basket with fruit, coffee and tea ,muesli, milk, juice and bread and butter.
The Little Polynesian is close by for lovely meals. The brochure said we could get coffee in the library/ seating area where it could be possible to meet other guests but it was not operating.
- Pringle (10/5): 9 days and nights in paradise - These bungalows were absolutely perfect for us, the view and location are superb, the fact that there are only 5 bungalows means that it very quiet and relaxing and low key. The hosts are super friendly and helpful, the beach is really close, just a few steps away, we had two kayaks, life jackets and paddles ready for us. The decor is quite dark due to the walls being woven bamboo, but this added to the cool quirky retro island vibe, the bedroom was a little too dark but rather that than stark white generic hotel decor. The little kitchen was more than adequate to cook the fresh tuna we bought from the boats at the quay in town, there is a lady selling fruit from her house 2 doors down. We ate most nights at the Little Polynesian resort a short walk down the road and that was superb. I think the view from the front verandah is quite unbeatable, to sit and watch the waves rolling in over the reef while sipping a glass of chardy is such a treat. I thoroughly recommend the Beach Bungalows and will definitely stay there again. Nothing, its perfect as it is. The fact that this resort has an island vibe allows for small problems to be non problems.
- Angela (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location right on the beach. Snorkelling right out the front on a near deserted beach. Quiet and relaxing in an authentic Polynesian style bungalow. The washing machine was handy too. Everything was great.
- Christine (7/5): Good -
- Michelle (10/5): Absolutely memorable wish we were still there - Everything location access to beach amenities hosts were amazing Nothing everything was perfect
- Paul (2/5): Very poor -
- Clare (10/5): Come with open kind heart & connect with nature - Worth every penny. Authentic whare (house), hosts & Jacqueline tumeke (awesome). A true taonga of a place. Down to earth, connected with nature -stunning location. Were able to see whales from the deck (august-sept). Bring an open, kind heart & binoculars. Meitaki Pa. Clare & Chris Nothing. Fab place
- Adam (9/5): Loved the accommodation and Rarotonga itself. Awesome place to have a tropical holiday. - Location is excellent. Hosts are friendly. Perfect for anyone who doesn't want to stay in a resort and avoid the crowds. Some of the snorkelling equipment and kayaks have a bit of wear and tear.
- Grace (6/5): Pleasant - Location The hospitality
- Judith (10/5): Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. - Fabulous location. Our bungalow was right on the beach. Great covered shady deck. Very secluded. Nice sandy beach excellent for swimming and handy to snorkeling areas. The welcome breakfast basket was very generous. Since this bungalow includes a kitchenette, it would be nice to have some cooking basics like salt, pepper, and oil.
- Adrienne (9/5): There is so much to like about these bungalows. I liked the natural materials such as the bamboo matting on the walls. T -
- Laura (10/5): would definitely use Rarotonga Beach Bungalows again for our next trip. - loved the location, couldn’t of asked for a better location. The property was well equipped with everything needed for the stay from kitchen items, beach towels and plenty of bath towels. The staff were very helpful and friendly.
- Lisa (9/5): we will definitely book again - location location location! so private, arguably the best spot on the island. kayaks. super friendly staff. polycotton sheets ;)
- Simone (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tony (10/5): Excellent place and would recommend to anyone wanting a beautiful location and amazing hosts. - We were met by our host - Pa and he explained everything. Breakfast was a nice local continental basket with fresh fruit. Pa helped us with scooter hire and nothing was a problem advising us on places to eat and visit. A lovely complimentary bottle of wine for our anniversary. An amazing place to stay and would go back in a flash. Excellent and sad to leave. N/A
- Brian (8/5): Great location - Superb beachfront location. Very helpful host who assisted with bookings of other requirements. While the bungalows are roomy and located right on the beach they are looking tired and in need of some upgrading to ensure better value.
- Joy (10/5): Wonderfull stay would thoroughly recommend. - The hosts were lovely. The location right by a beautiful often deserted beach was wonderful. Free use of snorkeling gear and kayaks. The breakfast basket kept us going for several days. The passion fruit was especially yummy.
- Georgina (9/5): Lovely, pleasurable stay :) - Great location, comfy beds and amazing staff :) Breakfast wasn’t topped up from the start of our stay so we ran out of coffee and butter very quickly
- Catherine (10/5): Exceptional - The accomodation was exceptional. Kayla and Pa'are were fantastic and helpful.
