Lovely place to stay, very clean and well stocked with kitchen equipment, bedding, lots of towels, and even snorkel stuff. Location is quiet and convenient with the big supermarket nearby. Eddie was kind, clear, and helpful - there was a bit of a mishap with checking in but it was resolved quickly with the help of such lovely neighbours. Would stay here again. Thank you!

Lovely Retreat

Kia Manuia was a sparkling clean home to return to after days enjoying the remarkable island of Rarotonga. Just a 5 minute walk from a beach, the home provided a full kitchen, outdoor deck, washing machine, plenty of clean towels and other supplies, and ceiling fans. We were very comfortable throughout our stay.

Best holiday

We loved the place and exceeded our expectations. So spacious and lovely outdoor area. So peaceful. The Bach has everything you need for great holiday. Quick walk down the lane to the beach where we saw stunning fish. The dairy was really convenient, too.

Family holiday home

It was a great place to call home for our holiday. Walking distance to bus. Beach access was a bit further than 400m but still close. Eddie was helpful. Great dog that stayed around and made us feel welcomed too.

Great Find

Beautifully situated in a tranquil garden setting. Everything you could possible need for a self catering holiday all you would expect to find at home. The property is well cared for and spotlessly keen but some furniture needs replacing. Would definitely recommend this property and Eddie was easy to deal with when making our booking.

Very clean, renovated. Plenty of kitchen utilities. Very private. Plenty of towels. Close to the beach where you can swim & snorkel (for the best snorkelling experience I would recommend a park/beach around 300 meters to the right) Several restaurants / cafeterias in walking distance. Basic shop nearby as well, having all necessary for the first day at least. Great local experience. Friendly neighbours. Highly recommended if you're not up to high-end resort :) , good option for budget holidays.

Great place to stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kia Manuia Cottage for our first ever visit to Rarotonga. It's location was close to everything; especially its proximity to Muri where everything is happening on Rarotonga. Also, because of it's location that is set back from the main road, it was so quiet with no traffic noise. And even though their were dogs, they were quiet throughout the night. We would go back in a heart beat if they would have us back.

Rarotonga Holiday

Easy to find on line. Eddie very helpful, especially when our flight was delayed by a day. The instructions for access to the property would have been more helpful if sent later rather than 9 days before. I couldn't find the code on my emails. Have now learned how to screen shot. All good.

Lovely bach that felt some homely to stay in while we were in Rarotonga for the week. Easy to book and access to the bach was fine even in the evening as the airport transfer driver knew where the property was. Close walk the beach and main road where you could catch a bus throughout the day and night. Shop close by too if you needed something which was handy. Amazing location and Eddie was great to communicate with. Will be booking again when we come back !!!
