Well facilitated, peaceful, and spacious. Our host Neil was lovely to chat with and gave us heaps of tips about places to eat, things to watch out for and things to do. We nicknamed him "The Oracle of Raro". We'd stay there again without a moment's thought. ##### Benjamin Stayed 8 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sharyn 30 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication The property had everything we needed as a family of 4\. It was quiet, clean and comfortable. The pool and bbq area was great, and the location perfect. Neil, the host, was very friendly and helpful. We will be back for sure. ##### Sharyn Stayed 8 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Helena 17 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Best place we’ve stayed in Rarotonga.

I would have to say this easily tops any accomodion experience we’ve had. The villa was lovely and equipped with absolutely everything that you might need. The grounds and the pool are beautiful. Peter and Joelene know exactly how to find the balance between being amazingly hospitable while at the same time not being in any way intrusive. I would highly recommend this property. ##### Leanne Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 22 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Had a wonderful holiday at Arcadia!

We'll be back for sure. Great to have such a spacious apartment and private verandah. I like to cook from time to time while on holiday so it was great to have such a well equipped kitchen. Owners and staff very helpful. Across the road from a great beach and walking distance to bars for sundown beer and food! Well kept gardens and very clean pool which we had to ourselves most of the time. Quiet and peaceful (apart from the compulsory roosters of course standard to Rarotonga!) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 10 nights in Oct 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 11 Oct 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Loved this property, pool and bbq area was awesome, large bedrooms, plenty of room for a family of 4 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 10 nights in Sep 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dawn 6 Aug 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The location is great. Beds really comfy and general outlay fantastic. It would be ideal if there was another barbecue as only one barbecue to be shared by all villas ##### Dawn Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marek 31 Oct 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Marek Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2018 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels near Largo della Pace](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Largo-Della-Pace-Hotels.0-l553248635709621997-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Cheap Hotels in Beijing](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Beijing-Hotels-Budget-Hotels.0-0-d178237-tBudgetHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Viva Tangerine by Wyndham, A Trademark All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puerto-Plata-Hotels-Viva-Wyndham-Tangerine-Resort-All-Inclusive.h995926.Hotel-Information) > > [Kipriotis Village Resort - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kos-Hotels-Kipriotis-Village-Resort-All-Inclusive.h848817.Hotel-Information) > > [Academias Hotel, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Athens-Hotels-Academia-Of-Athens.h34773504.Hotel-Information) > > [hiltonhotels Hotels in Folkestone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Folkestone-Hotels-Hilton-Hotels.0-0-d4640--bHiltonHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Avington Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Avington-Park-Hotels.0-l553248621532491569-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Beverly Hills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Beverly-Hills-Kingston-Hotels.0-n553248635976396374-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels.d178279.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Aarah](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aarah-Hotels.d553248635973263355.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [4 bedroom house with large garden in Cairngorms - ideal for families ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nethy-Bridge-Hotels-4-Bedroom-House-With-Large-Garden-In-Cairngorms-Ideal-For-Families.h33577453.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Market Harborough](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Market-Harborough-Hotels.d5636.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [4 Star Hotels in Stafford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/4Star-Stafford-Hotels.s40-0-d5692.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Newcastle-upon-Tyne (NCL) to Cologne (CGN)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ncl/cgn/newcastle-to-cologne) > > [Flights from ubon ratchathani intl airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/airports/ubp/flights-from-ubon-ratchathani-intl-airport) > > [Flights from Hounslow (LHR) to Cranbrook (YXC)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/yxc/london-to-cranbrook) ### Cars ### Activities > [Things to do in Sassari](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Sassari.d180613.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Varanasi Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Varanasi.d3724.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Lincoln Road Mall](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lincoln-Road-Mall-South-Beach.d6124942.Attraction) > > [Damascus Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Damascus.d6242026.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [West Blean & Thornden Woods](https://www.expedia.co.uk/West-Blean-Thornden-Woods-Herne-Bay.d553248621532509131.Attraction) ### Holiday Rentals ### General ---
