If you wanted to go snorkling in a marine reserve, you can do that as well, its 3 metres away. Maybe swim with the turtles? sure there are companies that do that... 50 metres away. Have kids? its safe swimming. In fact Tupe's beach house has more ticks than boxes to put them in. A modern two bedroom home with air con, ceiling fans in every room, fully screened against mozzies, a full kitchen, BBQ, on the beach, in a marine reserve... golden. Its also in a great area of Rarotonga, Vaimaanga/Papaaroa. Although Muri gets a lot of screentime, the South is where the locals go, the beach and lagoon are perfect for not doing much. There's a fantastic store called Wigmores with the freshest fruit and veges (they grow it themselves), and the biggest icecreams (not grown). There's a decent burger bar next door, a car hire and also a few restauraunts in the area. Tupes beach house is ideal for a family or two couples (the beds in the second bedroom zip to make a king). Tick the box! ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom ### Outdoor areas - Balcony ### Comfort - Air conditioning ### Pets -

Good snorkeling in front of the house with beautiful coral, blue starfish and many varieties of fish. ##### Julie B.

The house had everything we needed. The beds and pillows were super comfortable and the fans + air con were useful on the hotter nights. It is in the most perfect location on the south coast with great snorkelling just outside the door. We also had fun using the two single kayaks on the lagoon. Eddie's tips emailed to us beforehand were super helpful and as a result we had some fabulous meals out. The kitchen is well equipped and we made good use of this too. ##### Justin T.
