A perfect location for me, as the wider group I was travelling with were staying at The Edgewater. I loved having space of my own, and really appreciated the sheltered outdoor area with the mountain vista. This property has everyrhing you need for a chill stay

We spent 8 days here. It’s an amazing place tucked in behind a Edgewater so we were able to use the restaurant, bar and beach there. The house is fully self contained and has everything we needed. Thank you Eddie and whanau. We felt very welcome and comfortable

Place with an sland vibe

Everything we needed and nothing fancy. The view of the hills was great, the yard was huge, and the walk to the beach took 2 minutes. Would stay again.

Amazing spot

The house was clean on arrival with plenty of additional towels and bedding. The house is in the perfect location for easy car hire, beach and restaurant access.There was some handy spices in the cupboard and we found the lock box very convenient for making sure we never lost the key. Will definitely look into using this property again when we retuen to the island for our next trip.

Eddie was a great Host to deal with before,during and after our stay there,with no problems what so ever!The house and location is absolutely perfect to many things we as a family needed, including the local bus service just a few steps away,local eateries,small supermarket near by,hiring of ebikes,vehicles,motorbikes etc etc with just a stones throw away from the beautiful Edgewater Resort and all it has to offer there,but at a fraction of the price of resorts and other accommodations around with your own privacy (even own space for teenagers to have their "time out" away from parents lol) and all the comforts of home away from home...we couldn't have asked for more!! We will be coming back and staying there again in the future for sure! A

A great location. Edgewater Resort and beach proximity. Everything was provided in unit. Downside was noisy - especially as buses go in and out down driveway/road. I personally found the Vrbo website not user friendly. Although I did not meet with Eddie he was very prompt when I did manage to send messages to him and he made sure we had everything we needed. Definitely would use again.

Problems at our Accommodation

The Property Mgr obviously had not been looking after the property very well. A roof flashing was loose and flapped in the wind & kept us awake until we fixed it ourselves the next day. The stove did not work. There was no can opener. The crockery was depleted and was replaced eventually by the Mgr. The main problem was that the hot spot wifi did not work, the landline did not work and the TV did not work. The Mgr logged the problem with Vodafone but it was not fixed by the end of our 7 day stay. We therefore had no means of communication at the house during our stay.

Response from VrboOwner on 16 Jun, 2025
Guest fails to mention there were strong winds warnings in place for Rarotonga that day. Granted the stove did not work (its been replaced) but the stove top did. Yes, they were short one dinner plate, but guest fails to mention that all plateware, silverware and glassware was replaced the following day, including a can opener. Guest fails to note that 2 days of accommodation was refunded when I was made aware of the issues. Guest fails to note that an email was sent before arrival underscoring the unreliability of Vodafone hotspots in Rarotonga, and my recommendation to use a vodafone ESim... from the email... "Vodafone Cook Islands have introduced ESims for Visitors, landline hotspots over here are notoriously patchy, if possible on your phone, I'd recommend an ESim, the data is faster, more reliable, and you can tether to your computer with it, more details here... https://www.vodafone.co.ck/travel-esim." Guest fails to note that despite being refunded 2 days, he wanted another day refunded due to the hotspot not working. Guest Fails to note that after the 2 nights refunded he ended up paying NZ$30 per person per night, which I feel is more than a fare rate. You cant please them all....

It was okay... nice for a few nights.

Fairly basic home, but still nice. Quite cheap furniture and appliances, but was nice that there were things we wanted to use like chilli sauce etc in pantry. Pretty hot house, the fans do help a little but not too much. Was great that the lounge and master bedroom had louvers with insect netting that could be left open - but my niece really suffered in the other room not having these. The beds are REALLY uncomfortable... both our bodies ended up feeling pretty rough after our 5 nights sleeping on them. SERIOUS ant problem that needs to be sorted too. Those really huge ants, just everywhere... Overall, still a nice place if you can't afford spending too much - but we were so glad to upgrade to another place for our last 4 nights on the island - and finally sleep in comfortable beds :)
