Great choice for an independent traveller.

Tranquil oasis ideal for self catering and feeling like a local. Welcoming unobtrusive hosts. Short walk to bus, beaches and local well stocked supermarket.

Beautiful.If you need a quiet, secluded place to stay away from the tourist hub this is perfect!

The hosts were very friendly and accomodating to anything I needed. The gardens were tranquil and beautiful with a lovely outlook from the deck. Property is off the main road. A short walk or ride to some great snorkelling or the catch the bus. The use of the bike was very handy to get around and find my bearings.

Many roosters through the night-but thats everywhere in Rarotonga!

Perfect place for tranquility and a time to destress :-)

An oasis. Surroundings peaceful and beautiful garden and pool. Great for a solo traveler. Safe and relaxing. Very clean and everything there to make my stay wonderful. Enjoyed the bike supplied. Close to areas I enjoyed, Rarotongan for swimming, shops 10 mins on bike and a host of beaches great for snorkeling or swimming close by. Thankyou for your wonderful hospitality. Make sure your bring your own snorkel and reef shoes and check them before you leave home. THANKYOU!

Hidden gem in tropical paradise

We loved our stay at JJ'sRetreat! Jason & Jaime are wonderful hosts. They were so friendly and easy going and shared a lot of knowledge about the island. They have a wonderful slice of paradise in Rarotonga at JJ's Retreat. The self-contained villa had everything we needed for our 10 day stay. It was very clean and tidy, the kitchen was well equipped with cooking equipment and basic cooking ingredients such as oil, salt and pepper, and a great BBQ so we could cook our own meals. Tea/coffee/milk for the first day was provided, as was basic toiletries, but we brought most of what we needed with us from NZ or bought from the local supermarket/take away, Wigmore's, which is a short easy 10 min cycle down the road. Water in the villa is filtered for drinking. The gardens around the property are beautiful and well kept, along with the swimming pool which we enjoyed everyday! We were so lucky to be the only couple there so we had the whole place to ourselves. The property is set back from the main ring road (5 min walk) so it is very quiet and peaceful. The Raro bus will pick you up/drop you off at the main road and so it is very easy to get around without a car. JJ's is located close by to the best snorkelling on the island - Fruits of Raro to the east and Aroa to the west. The bikes provided allowed us to cycle to Aroa beach to enjoy snorkelling at our own pace. We also cycled to Wigmore's Waterfall for a swim and picnic. After adventuring every day it was wonderful to come back to our villa and enjoy our evening on the deck. The use of the washing machine was great too, and there was a phone to call local numbers to make reservations. The bed was so comfortable and the villa was kept cool by its design and the wonderful big fan above our bed! They were happy to arrange a late check out for our late flight. Jason & Jaime have thought of all the little details that make a holiday extra special.

There were only 2 channels on the TV and the signal was not very good. We got a 'tourist SIM card' from Vodafone with data but we could not use it at JJ's as there was no phone signal in our villa. A short walk down the road there was signal. There is no free WIFI provided but it can be purchased using vouchers from Wigmore's supermarket.

Thank you Jaime and Jason for providing us with the best honeymoon!

The property is so beautiful! Comfy, quiet, spacious, clean and scenic. Easy walk to the beach and down the road from The Rarotongan. This is a must-stay if you're looking for something more than just a hotel room. The pool is fantastic on those super hot afternoons too! Hosts are so wonderful, kind and helpful. You may want to get a car or scooter to get around quicker but the bikes are great to cruise around on and you can flag down the bus at the end of the road Thanks Jaime and Jason again for everything!

Superb, private place to relax

Beautifully private and tranquil. Exceptionally well kept and secluded grounds with a nice little pool. The property is a bit of a walk from the nearest shop and restaurant (about 20 minutes) but the store (Wigmores) is pretty well stocked and the restaurant (Vaima) is excellent. The cooking facilities at JJ's are more than adequate for self-catering. All in all, a great place to unwind and relax. Thoroughly recommended.

If you're staying more than a couple of days, get hold of some extra loo roll as only two are provided - although I'm sure the hosts will supply more if you ask 😉

Pleasant

Jamie was really lovely and chatty, couple of friendly dogs. Space was tidy and clean. Bikes were a bonus and a nice way to see the island. Good value for money.

booking.com and the guest information book in the bungalow say that toilet paper is included - however when we asked for some we were told we were meant to provide our own. Also says free toiletries, assumed this would include shampoo etc but only hand soap was provided so bit of confusion there. Quiet close to the next bungalow so could be some noise - or you could be noisy for your neighbour. We got woken up one night by the neighbour having a nightmare and yelling in their sleep.

Superb

A lovely place to relax and unwind. We enjoyed exploring nearby beaches on the mountain bikes provided and snorkeling in the warm waters. The garden and property is well maintained, and the pool refreshing. It was good to stay out of the busy tourist spots and see something of local life behind the beach. Yet be close enough to walk, ride or bus to café, restaurants, shops and attractions.

Fantastic holiday

Beautiful settings and very private

The bed was a little hard for our liking but Jason and Jaime went out and bought mattress toppers which helped and we were very grateful for :)

Very good

JJ’s Retreat is located about 600m inland from the main road. The two villas are located in a beautiful garden with an on ground pool, seating area & outdoor washing machine shared by both villas. The villa is spacious & comfortable. Jaime & Jason are very friendly and go out of their way to make your stay comfortable.

The cockerels think it is dawn 24/7!

Paradise JJ’s

Everything from the first time I arrived to when I left the property. I was even told by family members they wished they had stay with me or booked at JJ’s because they didn’t like the experience they had at their resort. First time travelling solo and it was by far the best experience. I enjoyed every moment. It was nice and quiet the owner of the property was sooooo very friendly all staff were amazing. If you’re ever in Rarotonga check JJ’s Retreat book it you will not be disappointed. Thank you for a memorable experience Kia Manuia.

It’s not that I didn’t like it but maybe just feed back on the wifi was hard to get inside the villa. Most times I had to come outside to make video calls home. Other than that nothing to fault it was a beautiful stay.
