I was there only 24 hours but they made it easy for me to check in late at night. The view was spectacular right next to the ocean. Loved hearing the ocean waves as I was going to sleep. I would’ve liked to stay longer but maybe next trip.

The property is so beautiful! Comfy, quiet, spacious, clean and scenic. Easy walk to the beach and down the road from The Rarotongan. This is a must-stay if you're looking for something more than just a hotel room. The pool is fantastic on those super hot afternoons too! Hosts are so wonderful, kind and helpful. You may want to get a car or scooter to get around quicker but the bikes are great to cruise around on and you can flag down the bus at the end of the road Thanks Jaime and Jason again for everything!

It gave a very tropical vibe with all the greenery and being right next to the water, seeing closely where the lagoon meets the ocean. The sounds of the waves crashing was so healing and therapeutic that i had an amazing sleep. The pool definitely needs an upgrade or maybe even just a coat of paint but we still enjoyed it VERY MUCH! Also a food shop onsite that sells the most amazing toasties!! YUUUUMMMM!!

1)The breakfast was awesome. Both the quality and quantity. 2)Friendly hosts with free use of the laundry. (part of the accommodation costs). 3) 2 extra adults were accommodated apart from the set number of people in the 2 bedroom unit.It was cost-effective and easy to stay together as a family. 4) The accommodation facilities were very clean and had all that were needed for. For instance, a BBQ set used for grilling. 5) The vicinity was near to a supermarket and an eatery hence quite accessible for a purchase. 6) On Christmas morning there was a Christmas package on the table outside which was a very kind gesture by the hosts, and much appreciated. 😀💟 🙏🩵💚❤️
