Vaima Studio - just steps from the best beach !
Adam and Sarah were incredibly friendly, responsive, and organised. We stayed for two weeks and had a magnificent time - the unit is right next to the beach, restaurant, and good snorkelling spots. Highly recommend!

Heron's Reef #3 Reef View Apartment
From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed by the owner Sue. She was extremely helpful and informative. The accommodation was great with a fantastic view of the reef and perfect sunrises. The 3 dogs and 3 cats and heaps of chickens were entertaining. I flew solo but would be great for a couple as well. Thanks Sue !!

Private Hideaway Penthouse with views of Sunsets
Lovely stay in penthouse. Beautiful views and short walk to peaceful beach with loungers. As mentioned in the description, there is a nightly ‘dog chorus’ but that’s not controllable as they seem to be scattered around the island. Overall I would definitely recommend this place- the grounds are well-cared for and the amenities, view and location are fabulous

Barefoot Base Tupapa
It was a great experience.hey were very responsive to all of my enquires prior to the stay. Bill was very helpful and accomodating. He showed me all the interesting and important places on the island. TBill was very supportive since I was alone. It was very quiet and close to the beach for a walk along the beach. All eating facilities were within walking distance. It was a very convenient location for the buses going around the island. A car could be useful but not essential. The major town, Avarua was only four km away. The airport was only approximately six km away. There were paw fruits, bananas and passion fruits which were offered off the property. Bill made sure that the plate on the kitchen always made sure that fresh fruits were always on that plate. Bill was hospitable and I would highly recommend the place for either a single person or couple.

Vaka Beach Retreat - on Vaimaanga Beach
Words can't describe how much we loved our stay at this place and our holiday in Rarotonga. The hosts are the best we've ever experienced on this platform. Everything is close, bus stop right outside, kayaks for use, restaurant next door. Water melon and coconut buns on arrival were just what we needed after a late flight. Use of the BBQ and amazing sea views from the balcony completed the picture. Thank you to our kind hosts for making this our best holiday ever...we will definitely be back!!

Tamarini River Studio Accessible near Beach & Town
Perfect location for short walk to town, 15-20 mins easy. Big shower (wheelchair friendly) and toilet area, both very clean. Especially grateful that my elderly mother was able to access shower independently. I did have problems with regulating the hot water, but in saying that, Pasha did give clear details of who to contact should I need any help, I didn't, so its on me. Accommodation description was correct in terms of size ie small studio but it catered to our needs and we were very happy and comfortable with it. Mozzies were regular visitors until I lit the coils supplied by Sue and Pasha. Both Sue and Pasha were overly accommodating (so so grateful). Both hosts were overseas when I arrived which wasnt an issue as their clear communication and instructions made it a stress free check in, 5 night stay and check out booking. Would definitely book here again.

Sunset Retreat "Beach Side Unit"
This place was a hidden gem with its great access to the beach. The included amenities were amazing, especially the use of the kayaks. Di was very flexible and easy to communicate with.

Exceptional Property, Eco-friendly & Awarded
We had the most magical stay. Robbie and Suzanne and Robbie Junior were so warm friendly and grounded souls. The house was incredible amazing location and we felt so held and cared for in a very special place

Moana Sunset Beach Villa
We had an amazing stay at Moana Sunset villa. Beautiful views, beautiful big bathrooms, house had everything we needed and it was super handy to a number of great eating spots plus a short drive to great snorkeling near The Rarotongan. We definitely preferred the West side of the island. Eddie also checked in on us to make sure everything was okay. Would definitely stay here again.

"Anchor's Rest"- Relax, rest and getaway
Great stay for our family with little kids. The house was just as described in the listing. The beach out front was quiet and shallow for the kids to swim, kayak and snorkel. The pool was a very nice bonus, being fully fenced meant we could relax without having to worry about the kids. The air-con's all worked well and the kitchen was very well stocked. A great stay, with good communication from Mark.

Take-A-Break Main Islander on the Beach Villa
We LOVE staying here - This is our second time! And we will stay again next time we are in Rarotonga. The pictures are exactly what you get. Tia is very responsive and helpful. If you have a family with kids, or a blended family this is for you. Or even just you and a partner to have all the space :) Thank you again for having us We look forward to next time x

Poreo Holiday Home - Wheelchair accessible
The house was great, the location was perfect: it was easy to get to the beach and Muri town, and Cathy was wonderful to deal with and very helpful. We had a fantastic time!

Starboard Ocean Villa (pool, oceanfront, free car)
We had the most amazing time at Starboard which was pure paradise. From the moment we arrived, the stunning ocean views took our breath away, and the villa itself was better than the photos. The infinity pool was our daily retreat, we couldn't get enough of it. The kitchen was fully equipped, making it easy to cook meals, and the complimentary coffee, fruit, and fresh bread were great touches. Waking up to the sunrise over the ocean each morning was a highlight. While the beach in front of the villa is more for sunbaking than swimming, the pool more than made up for it. Muri Beach is also just a short drive away and perfect for swimming. Having the car included was amazing. It made exploring the island, going to dinners, and doing day tours really easy. Our host Anita went above and beyond to assist us during our stay (including meeting us at the airport on the final day to collect the car) - the epitome of a super host. Don’t hesitate - book now!
