The house was well furnished with comfortable beds and couches. The kitchen had everything that we needed. Starlink WiFi was amazing for the two teenagers that we had with us and was a really good speed. Eddie was great to deal with and sent through heaps of information to help us with our stay on the island. Would definitely stay here again

We really enjoyed our stay at Mac’s Shack. It was close to the beach and bus stop, not far to walk to Charlie’s. We enjoyed relaxed mornings with the chooks over breakfast outside and BBQd our some of our own meals on the lovely Weber. Clean and comfortable, spacious- great shower

Eddie was helpful and welcoming from day.1, he allowed us to pay half a day for a late checkout at 6pm for our flight home. Mac’s Shack is clean, tidy with a pleasant outlook. The best snorkelling spot is right across the road. We had an issue with hot water due to a faulty switch, but Eddie had this sorted and refunded us for time without water, very much appreciated. I would recommend this house for families and would definitely stay again

First trip to Raro

Perfect for what we needed. Quiet beach across the road. Lots of space outside. No negatives really just that there is no free wifi as stated. Great value. Would have no issue recommending Macs Shack

Perfect getaway in a great location

This little house was perfect for my two children and I to enjoy while visiting family on Raro - we hope to stay there again soon. Communication with Eddie was great - he was very friendly, proactive and accommodating and his welcome email and info pack provided all the information we needed. The house was comfortable, clean and had everything we needed - it has a relaxed holiday vibe ... What a gem!

** Great Stay **

Good property in great location. The holiday home provided the essentials for what we needed on our holiday. Kids loved the coconut knife that they could use to open coconuts. We loved having access to the beach and snorkeling without having to drive anywhere to do it. The proximity to Wigmores, small shop just a few hundred metres away, and Muri was fantastic! Eddie was awesome to deal with and prompt when we needed help. Thanks very much!!

Family Holiday Time

A first time visit to Rarotonga for my son, his partner, and their two small girls. Had I come alone I would have stayed in a resort, but as it was their first holiday abroad they wanted to stay in a house to allow them to do their own thing in their own time. Next time we will book into a resort to get that experience. Mac's Shack was tidy and clean, easily accessed, and convenient to the main centre, and to activities and swimming beaches around Muri lagoon. Thanks Eddie for opening up your home. We absolutely loved our time here in Rarotonga and will be returning for certain in the near future.

Snorkeled every day

Loved snorkeling with turtles, giant eels, and octopus not two minutes from the front door. Walks to Muri beach are more than possible from here though a car or bike suits better. Communication with Eddie was absolutely spot on and the place was cleaned very well.

Returnees

We love Titikaveka but feel Mack's Shack needs to update some appliances. The manager did replace the toaster while we were there but the hairdryer didn't work and the fridge badly needed replacing. Having said that we will come back again for another relaxing holiday.

Was perfect for what we wanted, in a quiet area yet only 15 minutes to walk to Muri. Fantastic beach just across the road, great snorkelling - if only it had of been warmer. Property had everything we needed, even a random friendly dog that befriended us. Shops close by for any bits and bobs you need. Great place will definitely be back to Rarotonga!
