We stayed here one night when we got bumped from our flight home. Honestly for the price of this I thought it would be a bit crap but it was lovely. I’d even consider staying longer term on a holiday. Nice simple room with kitchenette, gorgeous deck and view over the golf course and a nice pool. Staff were so friendly as well. Unlimited wifi included.

    The bungalow was just one of four and was right on one of the best parts of the beautiful lagoon beach. Very suitable for those wanting a quiet spot without kids, and some self catering facilities for the odd meal or snack. The bungalows are a dated but typical island style and very comfortable and perfect for our holiday. The cleaning lady was nice and helpful, deck chairs on beach were good and location was great. There were plenty of restaurants and other resorts to go to for evening meals. We hired a scooter.

    I loved the privacy and 3minute walk to I think one of the most beautiful beaches in Rarotonga, we stayed in the lodge which was very roomy, there was no washing machine but people staying in the beach bungalows told us there was a communal machine and we could all use the tables and kayaks and such on the beach. Annabelle was unwell the week we stayed otherwise I'm sure she would have filled us is.

    We had such an amazing experience. We couldn’t have hoped for a better location. We had the beach to ourselves most days, amazing sunset views and great place to snorkel safely. You can even borrow equipment for free from hosts. Cabin was very confortable and had anything you need, felt private, perfect for a romantic getaway.

    property manager and staff are extremely supportive, nice and friendly. the property located beachfront with great view, free wifi, smart tv, air con, and fan. worth to mention, not all hotels provide them on the island. culturally decorated bungalow gives bit of taste of the island tradition and heritage. also it’s nice and quite, all u can hear is the ocean breeze, maybe some local dog barks, no need to worry to be waken up by d roosters
