About this property

Arorangi Retreat - Excellent Value

Apart from a lifetime of sunsets, the western side of Rarotonga boasts a stunning beach and lagoon called Aroa.

Arorangi Retreat is 30 metres away down a little path from his tropical dream.

A three bedroom newly completed home, Arorangi Retreat is ideal for a family of up to 6, and offers excellent value. From the large verandah entry to the house is via sliding doors to the main living and dining area and from there to the three bedrooms. All rooms have ceiling fans.

Next door to the home is the Aroa Beachside Inn that has great daily sunset BBQs at their shipwreck hut (voted one of the top pacific beachfront bars on trip advisor). And in the other direction, snorkel kayak and internet hire is a stroll away. The Rarotongan Resort is also close by (less than 15 minutes walk along the beach).

But the real attraction of Arorangi Retreat is the beach. Although the home is not beachfront, it is extremely close and the sand is white, the lagoon azure blue. Its ideal for snorkeling and having a cold one in the water any time of the day.

Arorangi retreat offers excellent value to largish families seeking warmer times and is priced to stay busy through the year.

The home will sleep 6 people comfortably.

Arorangi Retreat

Short 8 day break in Raro to recharge batteries / chill for awhile . Good location . easy access. Facilities available for cooking etc. Only downside was the bar next door which played live music and you can hear it quite plainly until they finish each night. Good music however not conducive to sleeping until their finished.

Beds were not made. The home phone was not working. The gas was empty when we tried to use the hob elements. It took several emails , txts and unanswered phone calls before we got hold of “Eddie”to bring another gas bottle. 3 hrs later some one turned up to change gas bottle. The microwave sparked when cooking microwave popcorn. I told the attendant who changed the gas bottle and he assured me the phone and microwave would be fixed. We never saw him again . We left 5 days later. Even with all these problems the overall stay was lovely. Beach very close.

Sunset on the beach

Great property. Close to the beach for beautiful sunsets. Comfy beds (bring a lamp if you read at night). Will totally book again. For those missing the path to the beach follow the fence line on the Aro'a side of the property! Enjoy!

Everything but the beach

Great little property but couldn’t find the beach access. The reviews raved about the accessibility of the beach, but when we headed down there all we could see were private property signs. Ended up walking through the hotel next store and getting a dirty look from the bar staff. There were no instructions either in the property compendium so that was a big miss. Finding the place was hard too, there’s no sign. Calls to property manager went unanswered. The neighbour behind was no help, he told us that the property wasn’t a rental and was owned by someone else. He directed us to keep moving on down the road. Luckily I was persistent and took a gamble, looking under the mat for the key. If you don’t mind ALL that, it’s a good little place.

Comfortable house

Tidy house with everything you might need. Noisy road for a small island. Beach lovely to look at but spoilt by the large amount of broken glass. We picked up at least a kilos or so after each tide. Very sad for such a lovely place.

Absolutely loved staying here, perfect location - Great snorkeling spot, you may even spot the big eel in the coral just a little walk down the path and basically a private beach! Located right next to the Shipwreck which is a lovely wee bar on the beach you can watch the sunset and have a cocktail! Highly recommend this house for people staying with Children also!

Arorangi Retreat is a fantastic place to stay at a very reasonable price. It's very close to a beautiful beach which was fantastic for snorkelling. Although the house doesn't face the beach the view to the bush and hills is beautiful,. The house was well maintained with a nice garden and everything we needed and was walking distance to a cool little bar called The Shipwreck Hut, a shop, cafe and hire shop. Would love to come and stay again.

Arorangi Retreat was the perfect location for us attending a wedding a few doors along the beach at Ra Mura. It had access to a beautiful part of the lagoon, with a bar right next door! The property is well equipped, however the fans were unfortunately insufficient to combat the heat! All in all, we loved our stay and would recommend to others :)

Location & set up of property suited us perfectly. Grandparents 2x grandchildren & their parents. Clean & tidy when we arrived. Chosen for handy location to Ra Mura for wedding we went to. 1 min walk to best beach on Raro, west side & sunsets are our favourites. Next door to Shipwreck bar for adults, dairy /convenience store short walk, bus stop outside, New cafe Beluga fab & a short walk. The gardeners turned up with a smile to clean up grounds after strong winds!!! Nice!

The location to the beach was awesome (30m). The only things missing we felt was a few of the windows didn't have curtains, some duvets for each of the beds (there was only one - though mostly not needed in the heat), no mop and an indoor clothes horse to dry clothes on wet days. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again. Thanks Eddie and to the owners who left us fresh fruit and delivered us fresh coconuts!

House was just what we needed in terms of size and close locality to the beach. Would have like a little more privacy from the road, it was hard to tell from the photos online that the house faced the road and was quite open. House was clean and well appointed. Oki (the property owner) dropped in a few times with a lovely fruit delivery, and helped us harvest drinking coconuts and breadfruit from trees on the property. Overall an enjoyable stay.

As always a very relaxing stay at this beachfront property. This has been our third stay at this property. Nice to have some work done on the inside - new shower room, new dishwasher and working barbecue. Also security stays on the windows for that added insurance. Highly recommended as very affordable, comfortable and has all you need. Many thanks to Lotu and Sue who are as always very helpful with any queries.
