Handy to town and family , the house you need large tv , chest freezer etc ,
Very handy to town , and the two local stores 2 min walk very convenient. Tere was very welcoming, the house is large and has everything you need - there is a church next door so Sunday morning starts early 4am bells and singing ( which was beautiful) . We have family near by which is why we chose here . I would stay here again

In one sense not a 5 star property, but rate 5 star as what is advertised is what you get (or slightly better).
For our family of 5 wanting to see the whole island and enjoy what this beautiful place has to offer, the location was perfect. Transport is required to get to the best snorkeling spots but food and coffee is easy walking, and shopping center and market accessible on foot.
Spacious and family friendly

Location was perfect, it was right next to town, easy to walk down to town if needed. Being right next to the church made our trip authentic we were able to hear the singing and services. The home was very spacious and well equipped. We felt safe and secure. All round it was a great place to stay and suited all our needs. Very happy and would definitely recommend staying here.

Needless to say we had an amazing stay, the house was very tidy, spacious open plan easy flow relaxing and so close to everything, perfect for our family. But the hospitality of our host Tere was second to none I enjoyed our conversations Tere and all your knowledge vairua & aroha you showed to my family and I will never be forgotten. Meitaki ma'ata

We had a wonderful stay at Langste house. The house and yard are clean, roomy and had everything we needed. The beds and linen were also very comfortable. The backyard is fully fenced and private.
The house is within walking distance to town, shops and restaurants.
The property manager Tere was very friendly and helpful and made us feel most welcome.
As regular visitors to Rarotonga, this is our new go to accommodation!
