Guest Reviews
- Per (10/5): Lovely and Perfect - Everything was extra
- marz.teevalehunt (10/5): My stay was VERY comfortable and I would recommend this place to others in the future. - Access to the beach was easy. The room was lovely. Location next to the beach was awesome. Finding aqua-shoes and a snorkel and glasses to use for the beach. Meeting Lynne and other staff was fantastic as well. Thank you for the assistance of checking out early. The WiFi was too slow - one bar, so I had to use my mobile data more.
- Michaels (9/5): -
- Val (7/5): - The terrific setting on the beach and friendly staff. Blocked shower drain, broken fan ,tepid hot water. Old food in the fridge.a good view of the rubbish bins not a good look.
- Jakob (6/5): - Air conditioning worked well, hot water was good, bed was average, shower/bathroom was average Couple of roosters waking us up every morning around 6am, not giving up till around 8am.
- RICKY (7/5): -
- Joke (9/5): really great stay - beach and friendly staff were great
- Ngariki (8/5): - Everything so easy to go to and back so simple and less stressful
. Nothing
- Karrin (8/5): Budget friendlyđđź - Location to town and beach was great. The staff are very friendly and welcoming𤊠Noise between room 9 and 10 was a bit noisy. The property is a bit out dated but was clean and tidy and had everything we needed.
- Mary JosephJasmin (8/5): We had a good experience with our stay. - Beachfront location is perfect for sunset and ocean view. It is close to shops Bar and restaurants. I just want to commend the staff for excellent service. They are all very nice, accomodating and helpful.
- Alexis (7/5): -
- Andre Maurice (10/5): - Near the beach Nothing
- Thomas (9/5): Few steps from the beach on the sunset side of the island - Really cute beachside property on the sunset side of the island right next to Black Rock Beach. I was expecting it to be full of people, but most of the time I had the whole beach to myself, even at sunset. The villa was basic but cute, the wifi worked just fine and the air-con was just about enough to keep you cool at night. It's not a luxury property, more homely and I was out exploring most of the time, so was perfect as a self catering base for me. For me, being able to wake up at sunrise, make a coffee and then drink it knee deep in the sea with nobody else around made the whole stay worthwhile! There was a huge cockroach in the bathroom when I switched the light on one morning, but its a tropical island so was expecting to see some sort of bug at some point. I only saw about three ants my whole stay though. I couldn't get the microwave to work either, I think the wire was loose as the power would come on if you wobbled it about, but would never stay on for more than a couple of seconds
- Jacqui (8/5): All would have been highly praised if I had not had to have such an uncomfortably hot first night, so easy to have remed - Proximity to the beach I arrived on a Friday, note left on reception re room number & that reception would be open at 9am following morning.. Key and plastic thing (??) on bed, all good except no air con and the roof fan was pathetic even top speed. First night very hot and uncomfortable with nobody around at all to ask or help with Aircon. Waited til 0915 next day for reception but no receptionist had appeared. Luckily told Papa ? (sorry, i forget his name) and he showed me how the plastic thing fitted in to a something on the wall. WHY WAS A NOTE NOT LEFT TELLING ME THIS, SO SIMPLE?? Papa ? very kind and gave me a left to market and to airport next morning. Another gentleman also in reception very helpful.
- Paige (4/5): Good location however reviews did not do it justice - Good location on the beach No communication from staff. Arrived late and no communication how to get into room, had to get another holiday going to help us get in. Had to ask multiple times for towels and toilet paper as not enough in room Did not appear friendly and willing through process. States room service however occurred once in 7 nights. Wifi very unreliable and worked at times.
- Thompson (10/5): -
- Janelle (9/5): Great location & lovey stay - Close to the beach, close to black rock, relatively quiet beach so very relaxing. They accomodation has everything you need to enjoy your stay. Nothing that was their fault - just a recommendation to bring earplugs as there is a rooster that starts yelling from 2.30am.
- Wendy (8/5): Great value for money accommodation - Great location on the sunset side of Rarotonga, and very close to the airport and town. Very comfortable and extremely clean motel. We stayed in a studio which wasnât air-conditioned but did have a affair. Next time we might stay in the self-contained bungalows that do have air-conditioning. The beach out the front was just beautiful and very easy to walk on.
- Brian (9/5): - Beach room
- Michael (5/5): - View
Scenery
And location to facilities and town
Staff friendly Services poor
No clear direction linen changes or towels.
Bed uncomfortable springy
- Purdie (10/5): Wouldnât go anywhere else - Most stunning view ever! So convenient being really close to town and heaps off food and some shops just a 5 minute walk away! The staff were the highlight always had smiles and a convo, they %100 made they stay one of the best x Rooms could be a little bit updated but for the price, view and the amazing staff- it had everything you need
- Te Hurinui (8/5): - Location, right on the beach. Close to most amenities. Bus stop right outside and shop over the road.
- Tracy (9/5): Fantastic place to stay - Just beautiful and spacious, lovely place No salt and pepper
- Patrick (10/5): -
- Sebastian (7/5): SchĂśn - Die Lage ist nah zum Flughafen und der Hauptstadt, ohne dass es stĂśren wĂźrde. Man ist mit drei Schritten im Wasser. Man braucht auf jeden Fall einen Roller oder ein Auto, weil es zum Laufen zu weit ist. Abends ist es sehr dunkel.
- Megan (8/5): Went for work but it seemed like a holiday - On the beach, airy, self contained and hassle free. Also very safe.
- May (10/5): The stay at Reefcomber was excellent it served our purpose. The room was very adequate it was clean and today. The sta - The location is close to town and the airport. It was a 5min walk to Black Rock. There was a shop across the road that we utilised everyday had everything. The bus stop is literally outside the front and easy to use. Get a concessional card works out cheaper.
The room was good the shower was great good pressure and had hot water. The kitchen had everything you need just no cook top or oven but you can make do with what was there. The fridge was a bit small didnât fit all the yummy food we bought. But it was fine. Only thing missing was a washing machine
- Victoria (6/5): -
- Sandy (3/5): - Didn't stay after looking at the room Just wasn't as nice as it looks
- Lavinia Davis (8/5): -
- Pierre (10/5): -
- Simone (8/5): - Location is good. Swimming at beach great. Weather was nice hot sunny. Aircon was good đ Perfect 𼰠The bed gave me a sore hip
The rooster đ x8 noisy early morning.
- Malcolm (8/5): -
- Gabrielle (9/5): Simple, but beautiful bungalows, would stay again. - The location is beautiful and the bungalow was simple, but good for my needs. The whole place grew on me and the staff were lovely. I asked to move rooms as initially felt a but claustrophobic.
- Julia (7/5): Hosts were great. Appreciated room upgrade. - The beachfront location Noise from the communal kitchen area that went on all night on most nights
- Krushi (9/5): A perfect stay for the beach lovers - The motel is at the perfect location, just a quick walk and you're at the beautiful beach While breakfast option wasn't available, microwave, fridge, kettle and toaster were provided along with basic utensils and dish washing soap, which is pretty good. However, there wasn't a kitchen basin to wash the utensils off and same has to be washed in the bathroom basin which seemed weird.
- Omar Lee (1/5): Dingy motel, you can find better places to stay in Raro - No cancellation fee charged after they overbooked the rooms. However your staff need customer service training. I booked a beachfront bungalow and arrived at the property only to find out there were no beachfront bungalows available. The staff member proceeded to tell me that it was booking.comâs fault and not hers. She then proceeded to show us to one of the lesser quality rooms in the âresortâ and when I said I didnât want to stay in that type of room she said âitâs this or you can sleep on the streetâ. I requested that she cancel the booking so I wasnât charged a cancellation fee and she refused. I obviously didnât stay at the property after this occurred and booked somewhere across the road which was much better in the end.
- Charlie (6/5): Not bad - On the water No aircon in room
- Sainimili (7/5): -
- Ian (10/5): A no frills motel that has everything needed for an action packed holiday. - The reef was excellent for snorkeling
It has a bus stop
A shop across the road
Restaurants near by
Helpful and kind staff
Good shower
Good bed
Liquor outlet across the road that sells non alcoholic kombucha on tap
- Roberto (7/5): - Ottima posizione rispetto al mare, un pò meno rispetto all'aeroporto, anche se ci si arrivava in 10 minuti col taxi.
In spiaggia c'erano dei lettini a disposizione.
Il mare qui era mosso, probabilmente a causa del vento che spirava abbastanza.
Il problema è che qui nel mare ci sono i sassi e, fortunatamente, avevo portato le scarpette. Il ceck-in è stato "autonomo" nel senso che, arrivando nel pomeriggio, l'ufficio era chiuso ma la chiave della camera era disponibile.
Anche qui c'erano dei galli che razzolavano in zona e, la mattina molto presto, davano la "sveglia" a chi avrebbe voluto dormire ancora un pò...
- Steven (10/5): - Staff were fantastic, nothing was a problem for them to make your stay perfect. I had to fly back to NZ
- Alisha (8/5): -
- Gloria (8/5): Peaceful, quiet lovely area - Private beach, accommodating staff, nice affordable place This was our fault but it we put a cup down overnight and woke to ants around it
- Tessa (7/5): Enjoyed our stay. The staff were helpful & friendly. - The private beach.
- Deb (6/5): Great value, friendly, budget conscious, close to town - Great location
Ideal if it had an air conditioner
Cool through breeze from back and front door

- Filippo (6/5): -
- Linda (10/5): we will be coming back to stay here - We love all about this place the staff were amazing ,friendly and fun to be around the roosters lol
- Helen (7/5): -
- marthaselwyn (10/5): Beautiful. - Location was perfect as we had a wedding at Blackrock which was a 2 minute walk away along the beach. I don't think they do breakfast here. I loved the quietness and chill vibes of the place and all the staff were friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend. I was gonna say that the rooms could do with a makever/upgrade but on second thoughts we had all we needed and the place is clean.
- Marco (8/5): - Sehr nettes und hilfsbereites Personal, Nähe zum Flughafen, toller Strand. In der Nähe ist das Edgewater Resort, dort kann Mann Roller/ Autos mieten und egal zu welcher Zeit zurßckgeben. Shuttleservice zum Flughafen = Taxi = 20$/Kop fßr eine 3min Fahrt.
Internet = WiFi Paket vom Supermarkt gegenĂźber gegen GebĂźhr (10$/2,5GB)
- Kohleis (8/5): Was a great stay but the cooking facilities was inadequate - Location Cooking facilities

- Wichman (6/5): -
- patricia (9/5): Gorgeous, peaceful, serene tropical getaway. - The grounds, sunsets, lack of crowds, amazing view, convenient bus stop and mini store. We loved our beach bungalow with its private covered deck.
The staff - Dean and ?Denise could not have been more wonderful. They make you feel special, and truly take an interest in the property. The roosters can get a little loud at night sometimes, but ear plugs are a quick fix for that.
- James (9/5): Exactly the area we wanted to stay, right on the beach and a great place to unwind - Great Location, clean, right on the beach, staff were really helpful, No free wifi
- Mike (8/5): -
- Megan (8/5): Clean basic accommodation - Exceptionally clean, although a bit tired. Right on the beach. Cheap, but has everything you need. Would stay again. Staff are great. You get what you pay for. The place is tired and basic.
- Ray (5/5): Oh, I wasnât greeted by any staff member when I checked in or checked out. They had other rooms on the beachfront that l - Fantastic location Room was very old and dated didnât even have a ceiling fan let alone an air conditioner in the cook Islands for Christ sakes
- ryan (8/5): Would stay here again for sure, great value! - Fantastic location really close to the airport. Beautiful beachfront and just along the beach was the Black Rock. Also it was private due to being down a driveway. Nice and basic stay, we loved it! Nothing
- Aaron Rawson (10/5): - Location was great. Room was fantastic with the view we had.
- Arihia (8/5): -
- Ainkhl (6/5): -
- Jacinda (6/5): I would come back with my partner as this is a couples retreat, peaceful and private. - Although unit dated was very clean, modest and private accommodation. The beach a few steps away was perfect and if no car there is a bus stop out front.
- Peta (10/5): Great place, terrific staff, very retro! Will come back for sure! - Location excellent The only negative the bloody rosters going off very early in the morning! Hahaha
- Chitty-Pureau (5/5): -
- O'Brien (9/5): Beautiful beach! Awesome location - Safe place to drop off bags and head out and enjoy the island! LOVED the beach just a 30 second walk. Bring your snorkel we saw all types of fish! Happy to stay here again on out next Raro adventure All the basic essentials
- Kirsten (8/5): -
- Giles (10/5): Second visit, will be back - Peaceful, space, beach access Neighbours parking their car in front of our bungalow
- Graeme (10/5): - Excellent staff Nil
- Kyron (10/5): Good location, good value and would definitly stay here again. - The location was great for the beach/lagoon, in our opinion and our friends, better than some of the resorts. About a 15 minute walk for food and you can walk up the beach back. Without a car you are a wee bit isolated, but if you dont mind walking its not a problem. Theres a rental car place about 30 minute walk down the road to solve that issue.
- Lynn (8/5): Loved it - The staff were amazing. Location and beach were excellent. Close to restaurants and peaceful Rooms adequate but could do with upgrading for the price.
- Kirsten (9/5): - Amazing location and fantastic hosts. This was the perfect spot for us as first-time visitors to Rarotonga. Not luxury, but the perfect beach bach experience, close to great restaurants and bakery and not far from town. Brilliant whale watching and swimming at your doorstep. We will be back.
- Clark (7/5): - Close to the Lagoon. Staff were great. Cooking Facilities no Hotplate or pots. 3 Rooms had no view only one had partial view due to too many trees.
- Hilton (8/5): - A great place to stay if you want peace and quiet on the beach. Friendly, helpful staff who made the stay great.
- Deryn (8/5): Functional, clean and on the beach! - Lovely quiet position on the beach (roosters noise excluded⌠canât escape on the island), functional clean rooms. I was upstairs with great balcony, a view down on the garden out towards the sea. Handy to store over the road and yum restaurants nearby. Microwave, fry pan, toaster and kettle⌠meant I was sorted for breakfasts. Bus stop at the end of the drive. Signage was a bit of a challenge in the dark on arrival only.
- Richard (8/5): - Great budget adults only venue, with 'private' beach, shop across the road, and easy walk to further shops.
Staff are very good and friendly.
