A relaxing fun stay away from hotels. We felt like locals.

Beautiful airy house just paces away from some of the best snorkeling on rarotonga. Lovely garden full of beautiful plants and crazy chickens. Nice having a full sized kitchen which we used a lot.

Too many unexpected "check ins" from the property owners.

Our stay at this property was a mix of highs and lows. The house itself is undeniably beautiful, and the grounds are equally stunning. The location is fantastic—close to some of the best snorkeling spots on the island and conveniently near great cafes. They also provide snorkeling gear and kayaks, which you can use at your leisure, adding an extra layer of convenience to your island experience.

Wonderful location, over the road for good snorkeling , we saw something new everyday. Supermarket close by & clean water station over the road. Close to resorts and local cafe if you wanted an easy meal out. Good beds, beach towels provided and fully equipped kitchen..including coffee press, blender etc. Great covered deck .

David was a warm and friendly host, with a lovely house nestled in a lush grove of gardens

The house was very inviting, well laid out with plenty of space rain or shine (and great for families), nestled in a lush grove of gardens from which David the owner, collected fresh tropical fruits for us. Very peaceful time and space and would stay there again in an instant. Very close (50 metres) to the beach
