Close to the beach where you can swim & snorkel (for the best snorkelling experience I would recommend a park/beach around 300 meters to the right) Several restaurants / cafeterias in walking distance. Basic shop nearby as well, having all necessary for the first day at least. Great local experience. Friendly neighbours. Highly recommended if you're not up to high-end resort :) , good option for budget holidays. ##### Sergey Stayed 9 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mikaele T. 26 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place to stay We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kia Manuia Cottage for our first ever visit to Rarotonga. It's location was close to everything; especially its proximity to Muri where everything is happening on Rarotonga. Also, because of it's location that is set back from the main road, it was so quiet with no traffic noise. And even though their were dogs, they were quiet throughout the night. We would go back in a heart beat if they would have us back. ##### Mikaele T.
