Suburb place to stay. The hosts, Anna and Rob, are a great couple. I highly recommend this accommodation. Close to Wigmores Superstore and a fabulous restaurant on the beach, Vaima.

Daydreamer Awesome!

Great location although a scooter or car makes your trip much easier and better, awesome hosts, helpful and fun, loved staying at Daydreamer, small resort so everything is easy, free kayaks and snorkels to use. We would definitely recommend to everyone. Better than the pictures show.

Rob and Anna were so welcoming. There was breakfast in the fridge and a phone for us to use. The place is well maintained and has lots of outdoor seating. The laundry facilities were easy, bikes available, pizza oven and barbecue available. We couldn’t have asked for more really

Lovely intimate hideaway in beautiful gardens. Everything you could need for a stay. Kayaks, bikes and plenty of snorkelling gear. Laundry. Drying racks. Loved there was a blender in the kitchen. Lovely hosts who were super friendly and helpful - beats a big resort hands down

Really beautiful gardens, so nice to relax in. Never felt crowded despite being consistently full. Owners very generous and helpful. Let us borrow snorkel gear, bikes, and gave great advice. Free wifi. Well located near a great supermarket, some incredible snorkel locations and some good food options. Not too far from anything e.g. Muri by car. Thanks for a lovely stay! Would definitely return.

Quaint wonderful place

Our stay at the Rarotonga resort has been amazing, from check-in to check out it just got better. We stayed in room number two which is the one bedroom. Plenty of room for the two of us with a well equipped kitchen. Bed is super comfortable. Patio area was a great spot to spend the day. Very close to a supermarket. A great beach with excellent snorkeling is only a 5 to 10 minute walk from the resort. Rob and Anna are a excellent source of information on things to do and places to eat on the island. The resort is very comfortable and meeting new people is one of the great aspects of he daydreamer. If you're thinking of staying at the Rarotonga resort, think no more just book it.
