Interesting
When we arrived check in was easy! Nev and Debbie were very accommodating if we needed anything. Loved how the guests are able to share grocery items with other guests. Small private, 3 min walk to the beach and beautiful waters with only a few tourists on the beach. The dogs seemed pretty passive during the week. The bus stop was a few minutes walk to the road. You can wave the bus down anywhere in Rarotonga and be dropped off anywhere on the main road. Choice of 2 buses to catch, clockwise or anticlockwise buses around the island. Bus drivers will drop you wherever you want. There was a basic continental breakfast on offer on arrival. Nice place to travel if you just want to rest or if you like to do some water tours, fishing, snorkling, swim with turtles. Very grateful to Seasalt takeaways for the amazing burgers at 9pm on the Monday night 1st night on the island, Filipino staff were lovely. They were supposed to be closing but stayed open a little bit longer for us. The banana cake at the Plaza was the best, Mareko's is good place to shop for shirts and sarongs. It was not hot at all.
Buses are $5 NZ dollars per ride. Taxis are $20 per person. Both taxis and buses have flat rates so distance is not relevant. If you buy a concession card with 10 rides, you can save yourself $15. You can buy this from the driver. It's good to rent your own car so you can go inland a bit rather than just circling the island. The markets only have a few stalls and are quite pricey. The Muri night market is food only. Very disappointed when we bought churros that did not come with chocolate sauce but possibly peanut sauce which tasted the worst and the service when we asked for chocolate sauce was non responsive. We also mentioned that people allergic to peanuts could have been in serious trouble. Felt disappointed with the customer service from the locals given that they are a nation that seems to thrive on tourism, beyond the Kia orana there was nothing much else. We found the Samoans, Fijians, and Filipino to be consistently kind and welcoming.

Perfect, peaceful and relaxing
Very comfortable with everything we needed for a week’s stay. Great location for excellent snorkelling - just a short walk to the beach. Nev, the owner, is very friendly and generous and made us feel very welcome
Nothing negative at all

Preiswert auf Rarotonga
Das Apartment (es gibt auch zwei Bungalows) ist eine Einliegerwohnung im Erdgeschoß des Haupthauses der Eigentümer. Diese sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Wohnung ist OK, wenn man nicht zu lange dort verbleibt. Toll ist, dass man in der Garage zum Gebrauch Schnorchelausrüstung vorfindet, ein Radio und eine Waschmaschine. Die Lage ist super, am Strand ist eine gute Gelegenheit zum Schnorcheln, außerdem gibt es Fahrzeugverleih in der Nähe.
Gewünscht hätten wir uns eine nettere Sitzgelegenheit im Außenbereich zum Chillen, Schreiben, Lesen, Trinken.

Ease of communication with owner and fact he was on-site. A very comfy, affordable, fully-contained bungalow just 5 minutes walk to beach and bus stop.
Little ants everywhere but maybe an issue at resorts also?

Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!! We will be back!
Very kind hosts, lots of dishes, towels, and books to borrow! Very close to the best snorkeling spot on the island (about a 500m walk). We had a lovely time here.

A little get away in an island paradise! Thanks for a lovely stay, will come again.
This host was amazing!! The breakfast and fresh fruit left in the room was lovely!
My only comment would be that the room was really hot, no aircon and the little fan did not do much :-(
