“I can’t wait to come back!”
I loved that it was so close to town & the facilities were great too. The bus stop & centre of town was within walking distance about 10mins, a small grocery store was just 3mins down the road & if you walked further Raro Fried Chicken was on the same road which is open 24/7. A quick dip in the pool every day to help keep cool. I already miss the doggos, Evie, Motu & Honey.

“It was perfect for our 9-day stay in Rarotonga”
We were there for a sporting event. The property was easy walking distance to the event and very central for everything we needed. Stacey was very welcoming and we appreciated the essentials for breakfast on our first morning. Even fresh mangoes from the tree outside. It was peaceful with lovely gardens and a pool that was much appreciated. It had eveything we needed. We will be back!

Clean and quiet with simple mini kitchen and adequately stocked as such. The pool was beautiful, and salt water helped with not liking chemical ones. Value for money Hosts were away on holiday, and their friends hosted us. Nice friendly and caring people who helped us when needed and went above and beyond to make us comfortable.

“AVOID THIS PROPERTY so as not to ruin your holiday as it did ours.”
We didn’t like anything. The description of location and grounds is completely fictional.

“More culture-history than sun-surf”
* Convenient location to bus, banks, shops, museums, markets * Supportive hosts, with practical advice and assistance * Starter coffee-making and breakfast stuff ahead of shopping * Excellent wifi for computer and media access * Swimming pool made up for distance from beach

“Perfect homestay vibe🌸”
Check in/out was a breeze! So impressed with this little hidden gem! Tucked away in the back roads Secluded and private but still so close to town and within walking distance to shops, bus stop, café + the market. Lovely homestay vibes. Friendly and helpful host. The unit was clean, tidy and had everything I needed to enjoy a relaxing holiday + it also included a few little extra treats like - milk, slices of bread, jam, butter, fruit, cereal, tea coffee, sugar.The unit came w a few other essentials like bug repellent, fly spray, sanitizer. A water cooler in the unit saved me money on buying bottled water Also, the tap water is safe to drink there 🙂 Very spacious for a one bed unit. Helped myself to the fruit trees on the property - mango & starfruit 🥭 Pool was nice to cool off in after a walk to town. Access to the washing machine and dryer. The weather was crazy for a short period and the lovely Jody reached out to check if I was ok and offered me a ride to where I was going. I felt safe here as a solo traveler 🙂 I have reccomend this accommodation to friends and family and I will definitely be booking another stay here! The sooner the better! Thank you Avarua Escape and hosts Bruce and Jody xx

“Peaceful yet close to everything”
I travel pretty much non stop and this is one of the best accommodations I have stayed in. Communication was good before arrival, check in was easy, the space was really clean with good facilities and thoughtful touches. The hosts are so welcoming and helped me out with suggestions, booking tours and hiring a bicycle. Shops, cafe, market and bus stop nearby. I'd love to stay here again.
