What a special place! We absolutely love our stay here. The owner and his wife did everything possible to make it special and to help us out with all our questions. Elaine is just outstanding at her job and she is the main point of contact - so thoroughly knowledgeable and friendly - all her recommendations were spot on! We could not have asked for a better experience. The design of the villas is really outstanding with enough space between the villas and a smart angled design to ensure quiet and privacy. I wish we could have stayed longer. This place is an excellent value and the massages are excellent, very affordable and 75 minutes long! The restaurant and tapas bar at the end of the pool is outstanding. When we were there they were working on a deck that soon will further enhance the space available to view the ocean while you enjoy a drink and a meal. And then there is the salt water pool. How great is that? Water pumped daily straight from the ocean so no chemicals like chlorine in this pool!!! The coffee place up the street is wonderful. What a great little place to relax. I just hope they have room for the next time we want to come. We have NEVER been happier with any place we have stayed!!!

Great little place and staff very helpful. New clean facilities and only a stones throw from from Muri beach. Petrol station, store and great burger joint across the road too. No hesitations in recommending this place, other than the fact that I want it to be available next time I want to go!!!

We found the setting of the accomodation was perfect, we were unlucky with the weather, the winds were severe, which meant we could not sit on our 'balcony' for fear of being blown away. The bed was hard, neither of us slept well at all, the TV was very disappointing, no satallite connection, which meant we had the option of 2 channels both of which has such poor reception it was very hard to watch anything. Not sure how much it would cost to install an upgrade on the TV system, but it certainly would be worth it, as a selling point. There was no DVD as an alternative :( On the positive note, the pool and setting were perfect, the staff and owners were lovely, just a shame that the items mentioned let the place down. We will return to the Cook Islands, but not choose this accommodation unless upgrades have been made :( sorry!

What an experience! Barry, Jade and Elaine were wonderful host who looked after us from when we landed at the airport to when we boarded the return flight. They went out of their way to make sure we had an awesome experience while in Rarotonga. They organised and booked all our activities so we did not have to do anything apart from lay in the beautiful sea water pool. Thank you guys for an awesome vacation… we are already planning another, longer this time! Thank you Avi and Alvina 🙏
