“My family loved Tapanui, but most of all our Host Estelle. She is kind, amazing, so so helpful. One of our group arrived”

A fantastic place for families. Seven of us, loads of room. Across from a great beach, on the sunset side of island. Sits halfway between Town & Muri.

“We had a dream holiday in Rarotonga staying in Tapunui was the icing on the cake such a beautiful home perfect location”

Stayed Tapunui 9 nights with my family of 7 absolutely loved this home, beautifully structured with natural air flow inside outside feels with island plants, huge kitchen with gas oven bbq paddle boards to use. The location is perfect right opposite the beach, my 5 sons loved everything about this house table tennis table, huge outdoor indoor spaces. Owner is really beautiful had fruit available showed us how to do coconut grate it was really helpful friendly! Definitely stay here again!

“Having the feeling of being at home & the relaxation of not being with crowds of people..”

It had everything you need, fully set up.. Estelle the owner is such a beautiful lady, she makes you feel like family & nothing is a problem for her

“What a wonderful holiday we had, the owners made us feel so welcome and went the extra mile in every direction. Nothing”

We loved the size of the property & felt it was value for money.

“Great will return”

Great location and owner was excellent

“Best family holiday ever, we plan to come back for sure!”

I loved the unique architecture as well as how large the house is. There were 7 of us and we were not crammed at all. Very large kitchen area and massive outdoor table, perfect for family bbq’s and games. The host looked after our every need, she was always just a phone-call away.

Felt like an island home - Estelle was amazing

“Tapunui was Tu Meke 🤩”

absolutely loved the originality and spaciousness of this one of a kind family home. Estelle is a warm hearted lovely amazing hostess who goes above & beyond her duties and very quickly becomes part of your whanau. Loved the location, you just walk across the road for an amazing snorkelling experience. I would highly recommend this family home to anyone looking for space enough to accommodate both large and small groups at an amazingly affordable price. Having 3 ensuites is an added bonus too. Tapunui will be a definite repeat holiday for me 🤩

“Perfect!!!”

We loved absolutely EVERYTHING about our stay!!! It was just perfect!! Estelle greeted us and was so welcoming. She gave us advice on where to go for good, activities etc. Her knowledge made our stay awesome!! The home was so comfortable, clean, well maintained, spacious and accommodating with a really short walk across the street to the beach.

I liked the location so convenient to the beach, the house is massive, and there is lots of space to hang out. I liked how they provided all the snorkeling gears and BBQ facilities. The highlight is the host Estelle, she is amazing and so helpful.

“Best place I stayed in Raro!”

Wow - what an incredibly special house! We felt so relaxed from the minute we stepped inside. Has a beautiful beach straight across the road. The house is so spacious & beds were super comfy. Well appointed kitchen with everything you might need for large groups (there were only 2 of us staying there this time). Estelle is such an incredible host - dropped us off fresh fruit & was available if we ever needed anything! Was very sad when it was time to leave. Will 100% be staying here again on my next trip to Rarotonga! Meitaki

“Ultimate paradise, perfect for my family of 9 incl. kids”

Beautiful large home with everything you could need i.e washing machine, reliable wifi, even TV and more i.e reef shoes, snorkels and paddle board. Family enjoyed all and loved the table tennis. Walking distance to beach with petrol station/shops just around the bend which sells everything from local delicacies i.e raw fish, minus (potato salad), meat, toiletries etc. Lovely and attentive host Estelle who organized fresh fruit platter and other groceries on arrival. Quick check in to see if we were ok and got to hear story on her family's labour of love to build and create Tapunui. How lucky are we to experience and at affordable price. Thank you very much Estelle and family.

Lovely and Friendly Host

This is a beautiful house and very unique. It had everything we needed for a home away from home, lots of space for the children and for relaxing. It's so close to the opposite beach and an easy 10 minute walk to the snorkeling in the protected lagoon outside The Rarotongan. Loved the tranquility. Above all the host was amazing, she was very friendly and even brought us fresh tropical fruit :) She dropped us at the airport too, we were very grateful. The bedrooms downstairs are particularly lovely, really comfy beds and bedding and both en suite.

Estelle looked after us well and came to check on us and made sure we were taken care of. The home is big and spacious with enough room for everyone to move around without getting in eachothers personal space. The upstairs deck has a beautiful view and the windows give great airflow in the home on a hot night. The inside plants were unique and give a pretty tropical feature look inside. The gorgeous big benches were our fav place to eat as a family. Our children (and us adults) loved having internet access. The bathrooms and kitchen facilities were great for our family of 8. We enjoyed our stay and would come back again
