“Value for money, bach on the beach!”
A very cute brightly coloured bach on the beach. Situated on a quieter part of the Island, very peaceful and relaxing. We had everything we needed supplied in the house plus the fantastic local businesses literately a stones throw away. The best coffee shop on the island a two minute walk away ( who does delicious breads and pastries on Sundays and a week day) and Kaps supermarket 3 minute walk away. The Manager and his wife were lovely people and available 24/7 if we needed anything. And waking up to the most magnificent sunrise every morning was heavenly...right out the back door ❤️

“A beautiful rental in an awesome location. 5 mins to Muri, 10mins to Avarua. KAPs store and Vilis burger joint only 2min”
I recently had a month long stay at this rental and it was fabulous! Very spacious and very clean. Loved the private entrance and beautiful decor…a real beach vibe, loved it! Appreciated being able to keep in touch with Tony & Lhia even though they were out of the country on my arrival. Dawn was great, but I never did get her ph no. (Not a big deal though).

“Absolutely loved the space, the atmosphere, and our stay.”
Beachside, outdoor area was so peaceful. Everything was provided for. Really good space for a couple or a small family. Loved the little touches of devotion book and the bible verses around the houses. Close to town, down the road from the popular Villi’s burgers, and Manihiki Pearls which the locals recommended for quality pearls for a cheaper price.

“Perfect place to stay on Raro”
Very cosy and comfortable. Had all the facilities you need and right on the beachfront. We stayed at three different locations in the Cook Islands and this was the best buy far. Will definitely come back.

“Good, simple, decent value accommodation in a convenient location.”
Very handy location - between "town" (Avarua) and Muri beach, close to Kaps fuel & convenience store and Vili's burgers & pizzas PLUS, the most fabulous coffee & French pastries just a few doors away.

“Very convenient and worth every penny”
The property was clean and had everything we needed and the it was close to the beach which was a bonus as the breeze everyday helped us cope with the heat. Lhia was amazing and kind always smiling and friendly towards us. There was a lot of space to hang your laundry and I enjoyed the washing machine and other facilities that were available to us. I would recommend this place to anyone . We will return. Thank you Lhia and Tony for making our stay an enjoyable one. Kind Regards, Maria
