About the area

Rarotonga

Located in Avarua, a neighbourhood in Rarotonga, this apartment is in a rural area and by the sea. Para O Tane Palace and Wreck of the Matai are local landmarks, and travellers looking to shop may want to visit Beachcomber Pearl Market and Punanga Nui Market. Sir Geoffrey Henry National Culture Centre and Highland Paradise Cultural Centre are also worth visiting. Scuba diving and snorkelling offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with mountain biking and hiking/biking trails nearby.

This property is lovely with gorgeous decor

This property is lovely with gorgeous decor. If you are looking for a place to stay in town - this is perfect for 1 person or a couple. The property is only a few months old so everything is fresh and clean. The person who looks after the property locally is great and very helpful. The accommodation was of a high standard - thanks
