Great Location

Well appointed and comfortable bungalow. A very short walk to Charlie's with great atmosphere and live music. Very close to beach and snorkelling. The only downside is we couldnt sit outside because of the ever-present mosquitoes.

The absolute BEST

We could not have been happier with our accommodation. It surpassed all our expectations. It was spacious, private, comfortable, super clean and in such a great location. We have never in our travels felt so fortunate to find our perfect accommodation. Thanks to Mike and EddieC who were fantastic and so helpful.

A perfect stay

I had the pleasure of staying in the charming Lyas bungalow. It was perfect in every way. Every detail from the cozy furnishings to the thoughtful decor, give a sense of comfort and relaxation. The personal touches in the space made me feel welcome and put a smile on my face. In terms of practicality the bungalow had everything I needed. Definitely a bungalow that I will return to and that I highly recommend. Thank you!

Property is located good. You have to ask for fresh linen if you stay long! Or get new towels. Fan wasn’t working properly. For the rest really good.

I was worried about insects but it was really clean and all the window screen was working properly. Only ants were there but even ants were not that many. (I heard that rarotonga is full of the ants) Kitchen is clean and everything that I need was there.

Very nice open plan bungalow back from the road with good privacy. All windows had insect netting and the unit was well equipped. The bed was comfortable and we could get a nice through flow of air so never felt hot and stuffy. Location was good for snorkelling, walking along the beach to Muri and a supermarket close that stays open to 10pm. Communication and advice from Eddie leading up to the stay was excellent. Only negative was the roosters which would start crowing early, however, this seems common across the island as other friends (attending the same wedding) all commented on the roosters. We would stay here again for sure.

Our October 2019 Vacation

From the moment we stepped thru the door we fell in love with this beautiful little bungalow, our home away from home. It was exactly like the photos and was so clean it was just lovely. The location was fab, we especially loved Charlie's across the road who do a mean as fish sandwich. The beach also across the road was stunning with 1 of the best snorkeling spots on the island about 200 meters up the road. I would highly recommend this place to anybody without any hesitation.

A real gem!

This cute bungalow exceeded all our expectations. It was a great quiet location but close to a fabulous part of the reef & very close to Charlie’s for supper in the evening. The accomodation was spotless & we appreciated the extra touches of fruit, milk water & juice. We could fault nothing! Thank you Eddie!

This is a great little spot, down a little inland road so it's sheltered from the wind a little. The unit is well equipped with everything you need, and tropical plants are cleverly placed all around the bungalow for maximum privacy. We had a great time, good value for money. And the Pina Colada's at Charlie's bar just across the road were yummy.
