Out of the hustle and bustle of the town centre but not too far to get too. Super Brown store within walking distance that has delicious food made by locals everyday. Bill was a brilliant host and communication from daughter Pasha was very prompt. Was easy to find and had everything needed for a vacation.

Thanks to Bill, amazing host! If you have the chance to meet him he has some incredible storie to sh

Everything was amazing. Fresh fruit, water in the fridge at arrival. Few steps from the beach, you can literally hear the ocean from your room. The living room is quite big and the kitchen has everything you need. The bedroom is large with space for your luggage. Toilet and shower are really good too. Everything clean and nice!

Slice of paradise

Such a wonderful, clean and comforting place to stay in Rarotonga. Right on the beach, the views were insane and we could catch a perfect sunrise every morning. Tucked away from the main road, we felt like we were in paradise. The hosts Bill and Pasha are so lovely. As a first time traveler, I was super grateful for how much help we received before we even arrived in Rarotonga. The hosts provided us with lots of information on how to get around, car rentals, activities and all the neat tips and tricks for staying here. We will definitely be returning!

Safety

Felt unsafe without fencing around the perimeter. Would be thieves could get access but then you are advised to lock up which I did.

I had a fabulous time at Barefoot Base and would definitely stay there again.

I had a wonderful stay at Barefoot Base. I was travelling on my own and felt perfectly safe. The location was perfect - I could walk one way to Muri and the other way into town. The bus would stop right out the front and there was a supermarket just down the road. I loved going to the Love Cafe in the morning - again, just down the road. the local people were very friendly, stopping to ask if I needed a lift whenever they saw me. I loved the peace and quiet and going to sleep listening to the ocean. Thank you Pasha and Bill.
