For the price range this is an excellent place to stay. Room was very clean and tidy. Beach access is easy to a nice beach. Swimming pool is excellent and very well maintained. Location is good, very close to Black Rock which is one of the best swimming spots and has food trucks with great burgers and the best coffee we had in Rarotonga. Cooks Oasis is also very handy to the airport and town. Property is set back from the road so it is nice and quiet. The hosts were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. They were amazing and went the extra mile to ensure things were easy for us with our little one. We stayed at other places within the same price bracket and found this to be better. A great place to stay, highly recommended.

Highly Recommended Lodge

A beautiful lodge with nice decoration, amenities and large room. Staff are very friendly. I requested for additional banana from the Chambermaid and on the following day, she gave me a bunch. Very thoughtful of her. Well located near the beach and you can enjoy sunset.

Great small resort.

It’s always a pleasure staying here. This trip I was in Villa 4. It was great. I’ll request that one in the future being able to self cater is such a plus. Bed is comfy. Everything is clean and quiet.

This property is comfortable with all the amenities you need. It’s a short step to the beach and is right on the main road which makes catching the bus easy. It is safe and secure and the staff are super welcoming and helpful. It’s the reason I keep going back.
