This property is comfortable with all the amenities you need. It’s a short step to the beach and is right on the main road which makes catching the bus easy. It is safe and secure and the staff are super welcoming and helpful. It’s the reason I keep going back.

The Team At Cooks Oasis made a awesome first impression by a special message on a blackboard advising our villa number as we came on a night flight. And that made it very easy. The place is quiet and chill for all those who wana escape city life.🙂 loved the complimentary fruit bowl ! Thanks for having us Christine

A little gem of a lodging option. Set away from the big resorts, but just a couple minutes walk from the front door to the beautiful beach, with great snorkeling! And the often-recommended Black Rock snorkel site is an easy 5-10 minute walk up the beach. The villa was simple and comfortable. All the necessities ae provided as well as some nice extra like reef shoes and kayaks, free to use. The property was clean, but keeping the ants at bay took constant vigilance. The management was friendly and responsive. There are several dining options in easy walking distance. (Do call if you are planning on going somewhere on the weekend, as many places are closed both Saturday and Sunday and the online info isn’t always accurate.) Note that this is a residential neighborhood, with nearby roosters and friendly but sometimes noisy dogs.

We love this place. Matty & Erin were lovely and full of helpful information. The teenagers were very happy to find that Wi-Fi was now available. We were happy that a water filter was recently installed. We were all happy with the lovely beach only a short walk away, and the pool for cooling off in. Villa 2 had plenty of room for the 4 of us. The air-conditioning and fans kept us comfortable. Great facilities available included in your stay: laundry, BBQ, DVD library, reef shoes and snorkelling gear, and kayaks. There are restaurants withing walking distance and it is only 10 mins or so into Avarua by car. We much preferred The Cooks Oasis over a full blown resort. Hope we can make it back one day.

The Cooks Oasis - 'O' for Awesome !! Immaculately presented upper level island beach house. Spacious, high vaulted ceilings, well ventilated, comfortable rooms, fully equipped kitchen and a great shower/bathroom facility. The wrap around verandah provided great indoor/outdoor flow with glimpses of the stunning beach 2 mins walk down a short shared driveway. Awesome hosts Erin and Matt are always on hand to offer super friendly, relaxed, professional assistance, nothing is a problem. Their encyclopaedic local knowledge, advice and connections helped get us into all the places we needed to go. A good bar (The Birdcage) and restaurant (Anchorage) are next door at the resort and nice little bakery across the road. First time in 'Raro and planning our next trip already - thanks to the Cooks Oasis team for an unforgettable stay!

Lovely property managed since June 2022 by a knowledgeable and friendly kiwi couple. Recommend if you are looking for a smaller place to stay with a plunge pool and a lovely private beach facing towards the sunset. The owners gave a fantastic overview to the property including the free kayaks, snorkels and reef shoes. Room has a kitchen for cooking and there areno fewer than 20 restaurants ranging from resorts to a local bakery within 15 minutes walk. Rooms was clean and had its private seating area. Recommend if you are looking for a quiet stay with warm hosts

Upon arrival, host were very accommodating. We arrived late because of the flight delay, but hosts made sure we are looked after and comfortable. Cleaned our place every after 2 days, and restock everything. Walking towards the beach woth an awesome view. Great service. Will definitely come back again.

The Cooks Oasis provides a clean villa in a perfect location. The hosts, Matt and Adele are really friendly and helpful. They assisted with booking taxis, making reservations, and suggesting places to visit. Villa 2 was perfect for our family of four, including two teenagers. We had a difficult time finding accommodations with one king and two twin beds until we found this one. The beach was beautiful and relatively private. In addition, there were several restaurants close by and a bakery with delicious pastries for breakfast. We’d definitely stay here again.

My room was great to come home to at the end of the day. Comfortable lovely bed. I Was out most of the day.

The hosts were lovely. Negative points: although it is advertised as providing air conditioning, this service is available at an extra cost of $30.00/day. Again, it is advertise as providing wi-fi services. However, these must be be contracted from the provider, at $50.00 per 500 MB ( it is painfully slow).The villas are nice, but crammed together. They are extremely hot during the day and air does not circulate easily.The shower temperature is difficult to regulate. Hot water comes in waves.The villa provides kayaks, ridge shoes and videos. There are three (or four? can't remember) kayaks, all for one person and one for three persons, none for two.

Nice location and a lovely warm welcome when we arrived! We had the use of snorkeling gear and kayaks. Unfortunately the dogs in the area kept us up barking, so not the Cooks Oasis fault! Also our fan wasnt very good, it couldnt sustain the higher speed and kept slowing down then speeding back up. Overall a nice place to stay.

The unit is half way down a short lane which ends at the beach, so no road noise . From the beach swing provided by the resort we saw Southern Right Whales on 6 of the 7 days. The lagoon is swallow enough to walk around without needing flippers to cross the reef. There are enough small topical fish to satisfy the normal snorkeler. There are 7 restaurants within walking distance and the bus stop is beside the lane.

We were two old friends heading away for a few days. This place was cheap and cheerful. The managers and the communication was outstanding, the place was clean and tidy. It was a short walk to the beach on what I believe is the better side of the island. I wouldnt really recommend it families as the pool is. very small. But it was great for two old girls who wanted to get away.

Cooks Oasis was the second place we stayed in Rarotonga, and while it wasn’t as grand as our first AirBnB, it was charming and a good value, and the owners were friendly. We picked it so that we would have pool access, which didn’t pan out (massive rains). But we did take advantage of their massive DVD library which came in handy when the weather didn’t cooperate. The 1-BR was comfortable for my husband, daughter, and I, but we should note it’s note a full barrier (and definitely nig soundproof if you are seeking privacy). Had the weather been better for the two nights we were there, we would have liked to use their kayaks or snorkeled out by their shore. Oh well, next time!

Great place to stay. Owners were friendly, accommodations had everything I needed. Mostly a family vibe. Laundry, dvds, and reef shoes were a nice touch. Enjoyed my stay, just wish it were easier on the wallet Internet is twice as much as bluesky, so beware. Seemed to drain much faster than my actual usage, but you’re not in the cook’s for the internet!!

Didn't enjoy our stay, moved from Villa 5 due to heat to Villa 6 which was a little bit cooler (sort of) there were hidden costs that was not mentioned when we booked. 1) Pay $30 per day for air con (paid for 3 days of air con & it blew the air from outside in, it wasn't working) 2) Pay for usage of water - paid $36 (it's not much but I was gobbed smacked) - Dogs barking & fighting (from the neighbors) - Got eaten alive from mosquitoes (unsure if its due to the motel) that was my 2nd time in Rarotonga & this was the worse I've been bitten. I really wanted to leave this place day 2 the heat in these top Villas was real bad Thanks to Debbie for trying her hardest to keep us as comfortable as she could, she was wonderful.

We booked our trip to Raro one day before we travelled so didnt do much planning. The Villa manager, Debbie, was quick to contact us to provide airport transfer options and upon arrival was extremely helpful. Nothing was a task for her during our stay...she was most helpful providing advice, information about the Island, suggested eating places, drove us into town etc etc etc (I could carry on).
