    There is nothing not to like.

    The location was outstanding. Right on the beach. Gorgeous view from the bed. Also right next to the night market and bus stop outside. We loved having the kayaks and paddleboard available for free. There were also bikes, although we didn’t get to use them as we didn’t stay long enough.

    Positioned in a perfect position, the hosts are very accommodating, a wonderful stay thank you. Very close to the markets-coffee shops, car and bike rentals and a small supermarket right outside the door.

    The only bad thing was having to leave.

    The location is second to none, close to the night markets, a 24-hour convenience store, bike hire, and arguably the best view in Raratonga. The staff were super friendly and always happy to help.

    After we arrived, we realized they have a limited car fleet which we would have taken advantage of had we known.

    Everything!! Accommodations perfect for two with a nice little kitchen. Comfortable bed with walk out to the beach for snorkeling or just floating. Little convenience store had everything we needed and the night market provided many delicious meals.

    Nothing.

    It was just perfect, great location, on the beach, quiet, clean, comfortable bed, ceiling fan and air conditioning. Balcony with table, chairs, sun loungers and clothes airer. Fully equipped kitchen and fridge freezer. Lovely bowl of fresh fruit, water and few provisions in fridge greatly appreciated. Spacious bathroom with large walk-in shower (interesting stone floor in shower) lots of hot water, towels and a selection of toiletries. Seating area in large bedroom with coffee table and small wardrobe, there is a tv but could only find 1 channel but villa has excellent starlink WiFi connection. With the night market behind, Rarotonga sailing club next door and supermarket on the corner there is no need to go far. Bus stop at the end of the driveway to get around the island, Saturday market in the main town is a must. Lagoon with snorkelling is just a few steps away and lagoon boat trip tours are available on the beach. Beach towels provided. Servicing, linen and towel changes can be arranged when there but not done daily. Taxi airport transfers arranged NZ$25 pp each way.

    We arrived on an early flight and were so very lucky able to check in prior to 2pm. What an amazing location and such special touches in room , fresh flowers and a welcome sign with my name on it . The air conditioning was perfect and all amenities so well thought of. We tried to extend our stay and forgo some other accommodation we had booked but unfortunately it was fully booked. We will definitely be back to stay longer.

    That I cannot stay longer (need at least 1 more month here :) )

    The villas are very comfortable and cover perfectly all the needs, the jewel of the crown is the location, the beach beds on the sand with a majestic view to the turquoise waters and enchanting little islands, will try my best to visit again this accommodation whenever I can do the big travel from 🇲🇽, cheers to the property managers who arrange the shuttles and are replying fast to requests or inquires!

    Only thing that could be better would be in the bathroom. The lighting is dim.

    This was a beautiful bungalow right on Muri Lagoon but seemed very private. The villa was separated from passers by with a nice hedge and vegetation that did not block your view. Nice lounge chairs on both the deck and the beach, along with a dining table. Very clean with a nice kitchen and large refrigerator and welcome fruit basket. Bathroom was large and modern with a beautiful shower. Great WIFI. Eugene stopped by during his work day to check on us and promptly answered his phone when I called. Great Cook Island hospitality! Try the food across the street at Takatimu's Tapas & Takeaways. It is incredible!
