Fabulous all round!

We liked EVERYTHING. Couldn't find anything to fault. Beautiful in every respect. Claire and Emma were super helpful at all times. Great having kayaks, electric bikes, snorkeling equipment to use whenever we wanted and there were always plenty available. Location was great for us, quiet and away from too many other people. The beach as far as you could see was normally deserted. Bus service available outside and Emma will sort a taxi if you need it.

The friendly kind staff made our stay perfect and they were all so helpful with any activity bookings and info etc. Our babymoon was truly made special with a surprise room upgrade as well. Our room was exceptionally clean and tidied well everyday. Loved using the BBQ as well and the convenience of the supermarket across the road.

Great shop across the road that was convenient. Nice and quiet and very helpful staff who were available to help book dinner reservations. Able to snorkel right off the beach with pretty colored fish.

Incredible property, staff, and surroundings. Easily 10 stars!!

There is so much to love about Motu - the rooms, the people, the surroundings. All of it was exceptional. Just one example, of many, my husband didn't have proper shoes for a last minute hike we decided to do. When we asked Mii, one of the lovely women working there, where we could buy some tennis shoes, she told us but then offered to let him use her husbands shoes! She brought them that afternoon and stopped by to make the offer again. That was so kind of her and just one way they all went out of their way to make our stay so perfect. We would go back to Motu in a heartbeat! Thank you!!

The most wonderful accomodation, clean well appointed and amazing hosts

Motu was amazing! We could not have asked for a more perfect place to stay whilst in Rarotonga. Our hosts Amy and Claire were wonderful. They gave informative information regarding our accommodation and nearby surrounds. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Our flights were cancelled and Amy was just amazing and accommodated us even with an unexpected but much appreciated upgrade. We loved Motu and highly recommend this the your next stay when in Rarotonga.

The perfect mix of relaxation and adventure

Everything- the staff Emma, Amy and Claire went over and above to help us have the best trip ever. They helped with organising activities, car hire and restaurant reservations. The facilities and location was absolutely amazing with access to e-bikes, kayaks, paddleboards and a washing machine making it that much better!
