Perfect place to stay on Rarotonga. The hosts are fantastic and were very welcoming!! They were very informative and helpful with anything that we needed. We could hear the ocean from our apartment and the site is stunning to chill and have some dinner.

New ZealandEverything - location, owners, view. We felt welcome the moment we arrived, and the view from our room was perfect. Slightly out of Muri meant it was quieter, but still just a short ride in. Our hosts were incredible, and we have never felt more welcome. We had booked another place for the second half of our holiday, but wished we'd stayed the whole time.
New ZealandBreakfast not included. The area isn’t prime Raro but the hosts are lovely and the amenities excellent
New ZealandThe friendly and helpful hosts who I had met on a previous visit in 2014. The proximity to Muri. The quiet and peaceful location. Rudy's performing at the SAILS restaurant at Muri.
