This was our fourth trip to Rarotonga but our first experience renting a house and it couldn’t have been simpler. The house itself was fantastic, it was fully equipped with everything you could need including huge canisters of filtered water. Drinking the water was a concern of mine and I thought we were going to have to spend a fortune on bottled water so this was a wonderful surprise. It was clean, comfortable, and private. We would definitely stay here again.

This house had everything we needed for a family stay. Would 100% recommend.Across the road from the beach, a minute from supermarket and ice cream, and stocked with more than just the essentials- like a home not just a house. The fenced yard was great for privacy and kids' running around.We had a great stay.

We enjoyed a lovely week at Kavera Beach house. A really comfortable stay, with all the amenities that you need in a great location. 1 min walk to a lovely beach good for swimming. Easy access to the shops down the road, and Shipwreck Bar just a short stroll for cocktails on the beach. A lovely stay and would definitely be back.

Meitaki, so pleased you found the property comfortable and it suited your needs. Good to know you enjoyed Shipwreck’s which is a lovely sunset stroll along the beach! Hope the fishing was fantastic too!! We would welcome your return in the future .
Has just what you need and nothing you don't. Our family of four were completely comfortable here and the proximity to the beach, conveniences and shops is nice.
We would definitely book again.
We loved our stay in the Kavera Beach House. Cristine was really easy to work with throughout the booking - responsive and accommodating. Local host Fiona took great care of us and made sure we had everything we needed. The house is right across from a pristine, almost empty beach. Would definitely stay here again if we ever had the opportunity.
