    Really well equipped villa with super-friendly welcoming host. Was wonderful to have the plunge pool and aircon on the sunny days and the big fancy TV came in handy on rainy days. My son loved being able to kick his ball around the open fields surrounding the villa. The beach you can access from the property has best snorkelling on the island and "Charlies" - the best-priced family friendly restaurant is just a short walk away.

    Great place for a group of 4. The location is excellent and within walking distance to the Muri Beach area. The villa is tidy and we enjoyed using the plunge pool to cool off. Catherine the owner was very accommodating, she didn’t hesitate to assist us if we had any queries and went out of her way to make sure we were enjoying our stay.

    Beautiful property with an amazing plunge pool! Used it almost daily. The villa itself was clean and tidy and has everything you need. Was super quiet the whole time I was there, and on clear evenings it was nice to stand outside and look up at the stars. Cath was fantastic and reached out every few days to make sure everything was okay. I’ve already recommended the property to everyone I’ve spoken to about my trip to Rarotonga. Can’t wait to come back!

    Leaving!

    We recently had the pleasure of staying in Rarotonga for 10 days, and my experience was nothing short of incredible. The accommodation, hosted by the amazing Catherine, made this trip truly unforgettable. First and foremost, Catherine's hospitality was exceptional. We had a mix-up with the time zone, but she graciously accepted us early in the morning, for which I am incredibly grateful. Her warm welcome set the tone for the entire stay. The villa is ideally situated on a spacious plot of land, away from the hustle and bustle of the main road. However, it's just a short stroll down a path to a beautiful snorkeling beach. The convenience of having shops within walking distance was a plus, but we also chose to rent a car/moped to explore the island. This decision allowed us to fully appreciate the tranquil and serene southeast side of the island, which we fell in love with. Upon arrival, we were delighted to find fresh fruit, a thoughtful food package, and ample bottled water provided. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the plunge pool was a delightful way to unwind after a day at the beach. One remarkable feature of the villa is its protected screens that run throughout the bright and airy space. This design allowed for fantastic natural ventilation, and we never once felt the need to use the air conditioning. In all my experiences using Booking.com, this stay stands out as one of the best. It offered us an authentic glimpse into life on Rarotonga, and we cherished every moment. As we depart, I can't help but miss the villa and the enchanting island it's nestled on. If you're looking for an exceptional Rarotonga getaway, this is the place to be. Thank you, Catherine, for making our stay so remarkable. We can't wait to return!

    Nothing! I wish we could have spent more time there!

    The Villa was beautifully laid out. Very new. Had all the amenities you could need. The plunge pool and the sun loungers were my favourite part. Air conditioning in the bedrooms. There is a washing machine and clothes dryer. Towels for the beach are provided. The property is safe and secure and located in a lovely quiet part of the island. Catherine was a lovely host and very responsive to our needs. There is a bus stop just outside the driveway of the Villa which came in handy as we didn’t have a hire car. Highly recommend to download the app so you can see when the buses are coming as they run Clockwise and Anti Clockwise and not that frequently, if you miss it there’s a fair wait. For $30 NZD you can by a 10 trip bus pass. The Villa is in a comfortable walking distance to Muri, about 30 minutes on the flat. Stop in at Rimas Bakery for a pie! Just delicious.

    Nothing to not like about this impeccable place. Was tricky to locate the villas, I'd recommend a large sign on the main road would be helpful. I got assistance from a local. The map wasn't much help.

    Certainly reflected the photos on booking.com Modern villa with a high level of cleanliness. Modern furniture and appliances. Great location close to popular beaches, activities and cafes. Perfect for a small group or family, very relaxing the plunge pool added bonus. Warmly welcomed by the friendly, polite, and respectful owners. Despite all the roosters, we managed to sleep well with little roster alarming noises.
