From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. The staff were exceptionally attentive and helpful—always going above and beyond to ensure our experience was nothing short of amazing. The location is superb: quiet, peaceful, and incredibly convenient. A supermarket, car, and bike rentals are right across the road, and there are two excellent restaurants within walking distance. The beach is simply divine—clean, serene, and just steps from the villa. This place truly offers the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and tranquility. We couldn’t have asked for a better getaway. 15/10 overall—highly recommended! ##### Olena Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Peter 9 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service #### Location is great but office is rarely staffed Location is great as Wigmore's and restaurants very close. Property is on one of the best beaches on Rarotonga. Villas are a little dated and make sure you contact them and receive exact check in instructions. The office is only open for very limited hours so hard to check in as we had to find a maintenance person by chance walking around to locate our keys and get us into the room. ##### Peter Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie 9 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities We love everything about the villas and the property.
