Lynette New Zealand

Clean, comfortable beds, friendly and accommodating staff.

Dallas New Zealand

The villa we got was perfect! The kitchen had EVERYTHING we needed and more. The living room was great and comfortable. It was a very relaxed feel throughout. The beach was just a very short stroll away - hammocks and lounge chairs!!! Great to watch the sunset or just have an afternoon nap! Location: close to some very nice restaurants and a great bakery! Matt and Adele are great hosts - great knowledge handed to us as first-timers to the Island. We'll be back! THANK YOU!!!

Helen New Zealand

Matt is a CHAMPION. Top setup. Reasonably priced. Lots of little extras to make the perfect holiday spot.

Stanley New Zealand

Adele and Matt are lovely hosts and happy to chat or help with local advice. The apartment was spacious and well equipped, except the oven wasn't working which meant cooking options were restricted. Good sized fridge. It's a short walk to the beach for beautifully warm swimming/snorkelling, and their swing seat on the beach is a perfect sunset spot. A scooter is handy for transport as it's a way from the main centre, but you need a full motorcycle license to hire. Otherwise there is a bus once an hour. Free-range (friendly) dogs on site.

Trudi New Zealand

Comfortable room with good facilities. Beach area is beautiful and enjoyed having access to kayaks and snorkelling gear. Friendly hosts

Naarah New Zealand

Adele and Matt were very welcoming, the villa was terrific, comfortable and well furnished and plenty of towels etc. there are great outside spaces to relax, access to laundry, snorkeling gear and kayaks and books and dvds to use when the weather is wet. The bed was very comfortable, location is great for town and local restaurants. Cody and Dixon make an extra special welcoming party and stole our hearts

Matt & Adele

Welcome to The Cooks Oasis, the best-kept secret of Rarotonga and the ideal destination for your island getaway. Feel at home in one of our nine recently upgraded villas ranging from studio style to one- and two-bedroom units, all designed with your comfort in mind. Our villas are self-catered and nestled within a small and vibrant tropical garden, only moments away from a picturesque sandy beach and clear blue lagoon.

Dedicated couple Matt and Adele keep The Cooks Oasis up and running and you’ll never see them without a smile on their faces. They love the island life and are very passionate about what they do, and they won’t hesitate to help their guests in any way possible. Elisa is the lovely lady responsible for the high standard of cleanliness that guests have come to expect here at The Cooks Oasis, and she works incredibly hard to ensure the rooms are looking pristine. Depending on the time of year you might see Matt and Adele’s daughters doing some work in the office or helping with the cleaning, if they can be wrestled away from the beach. And the fluffiest members of the team are Cocker Spaniel brothers Cody and Dixon who might come looking for cuddles or ask to be your beach buddy. We can’t wait to welcome you to our tropical hideaway.
