Yamanika was an excellent host before and during our stay. She provided excellent directions to get o the property & she provided the best croissants! The house was light and spacious and the kitchen had everything you could ever want. However, the private pool was the highlight for us - spent most of our afternoons just lazing in and around it. A truly relaxing holiday.

Leigh & Stewart were the most wonderful guests to host! From start to finish, communication was clear and pleasant. They respected all the house rules and left the home remarkably clean, tidy, and well-cared for. Hosting them was an absolute breeze, and I would gladly welcome them back anytime. Highly recommended to other hosts! Yamanika

Lovely decent size home, lovely layout, clean and with a well stocked kitchen and wonderful pool area. Close to the Dairy for your basic food supplies and also so close to some wonderful restaurants. I would definitely stay here again. Great screened windows and doors all round to keep the bugs out as well.

What a fantastic home away from home. Well set up! Loved the space and the pool.Bring ear plugs if you don't like roosters crowing, dogs barking and traffic noise. But that's Raro! Access to the beach a bit dodgy down past other properties and beach not the best. Suggest having a hire vehicle to get to other places if you can.Overall loved it!

Yamanika was a delight to deal with and checked in to make sure I had everything I needed and that everything was in order. The house is well equipped. There are bug screens on all the windows and doors.I definitely had a very comfortable stay and easily felt at home. Nothing on Rarotonga is far and I particularly enjoyed the location of the property (on the west coast) as it made for easy access to sunsets on the beach nearby as well as Aroa lagoon for snorkeling which I could get to in about 10 minutes on the E-bike I rented.The house is only a few metres off the main road. If you’re someone who struggles to sleep with noise I’d recommend ear plugs as there is usually quite a bit to traffic going past the house (as with any house on/near the main road).

Tiffy was a wonderful guest to host! I am sorry about the road noise , a bit out of my control but will have some ear plugs available for future guests...Tiffy respected all the house rules and left the home remarkably clean, tidy, and well-cared for. Hosting her was an absolute breeze she was pleasant and friendly ,and I would gladly welcome her back anytime. Highly recommended to other hosts! Yamanika

Perfect family home base in Raro

Very spacious house with lovely pool. The house has everything you need including kitchen and washing machine, convenience store across the road, and spaces for indoor and outdoor dining. The location is great on the sunset side of the island, close to restaurants and the beach. The view to the mountains from the sofa on the front porch and the coconut trees visible from the pool sunloungers were gorgeous. We would definitely stay here again.

Relaxing and Beautiful Mountain views

What a beautiful place, everything was perfect from the start of booking to the end everything flow so happy, Gabrielle was awesome to communicate with.This home is beautiful and spacious, had everything you needed, views of the mountains from the veranda was awesome, home location is awesome, primo there's a store across the road, restaurants and bars just up the road (OTB) if you didn't have a vehicle when on the island you could stop the bus just out the front on the main road. Love the home, love the people, love the island can't wait to come back

Pacific Time Paradise

Wonderful location. Super friendly property owner and manager. The pool was a welcome addition with our grandchildren staying with us and to cool off without having to go to a beach. The rooms were spacious and two bathrooms were great to have with 7 of us staying. Everything you could want for a relaxing holiday. The beds were very comfortable and even the ant plague that was everywhere on the Island could not make our stay any less wonderful. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us.

Raro hideaway

We had a brilliant time in your holiday home, It had all the things needed for self catering. It was close to several amenities and some excellent restaurants. The pool was a nice addition although we did not use as often as we thought due to the cooler weather.An excellent place. I would stay there again.Just be mindful of leaving shoes outside. The neighborhood dog has a shoe graveyard next door. I had to retrieve 3 shoes from there.Hire E bikes for TIK-E tours just 100m down the road...a good way to get around the island.

Family holiday

The home was easy to find and get into. The set up was good for the 6 of us and we liked how there was a roon more seperate from the house . The pool was clean The amenities were plentiful We didnt like how mnay ants there were all over the place insdie and out , there is definitely an issue that needs sorting as other homes we have stayed in havent had them Loved how there was plenty of seating in all areas of the home inside and out for us to relax in . Plenty of ceiling fans too which were very needed !!! Also liked how there were cleaning products in the kitchen and bathrooms so we could use if necessary When we arrived it smelt of bad body odour in one bedroom and stale cigarettes in the house Nothing that couldn't be easily sorted but maybe a fabric spray on the curtains etc would help this to be more welcoming after each guest checks out Would return for sure as we could barely hear the roosters and dogs too which was a bonus not to have to wear ear plugs like previous hones we have stayed in !!!! Thankyou

Thanks for the review Nikki, glad you appreciated the home comforts! Every now and then ants suddenly just appear in large numbers - best cure I’ve found is the ant chalk we leave for guests to use. I’ve passed your comments to our housekeeper and both will be addressed- thank you for bringing this to our attention, and glad you enjoyed your stay.
