Cute studio that is well fit out with all the trimmings including air-conditioning and washer and dryer. A very comfortable studio that sits elevated on a convenient property located walking distance to shops, black rock beach, and mountain outlooks
Owner run, so attention to detail and always available for any enquiries.
Studio Varia is located at the bottom of the hospital hill on the Arorangi side. The turn off on the main road is between the old BlackRock Shop and the Rarotonga Hospital sign. Once you meet the intersection, turn right then left.
