“Best villa on the island”
Mama Dor (our host) was absolutely wonderful — so kind and friendly. The property exceeded our expectations; it was clean, comfortable, and truly felt like a home away from home. The villa was perfectly central to everything we needed, which made our stay even more enjoyable. We would highly recommend it!

Love how spacious it was. The rooms all had aircons, so it worked in our favor. The pool was amazing and was swimming every day, never missed. House had everything you needed, the host was lovely too 😍 had the worker meet me at the closest gas station and took me to the house. Gave me brief instructions about the place and pool would be ready in an hour Would recommend this place for families prefect for kids, loved my stay Meitaki ❤️

“A paradise home”
We've stayed in many hotels, B&B in Rarotonga, this is by far one of the best & definitely value for money. An excellent 2 bedroom modern home stood out because it was flawlessly clean, boasting ample space for small family (parents with 2kids) or 2 couples. Working celing fans & air con in each room, was such a great addition to combat the hot tropical days/nights. The house was very well equipped with all kitchen amenities (pots, plates, cutlery, coffee/sugar, microwave, gas stove) for the odd home cooked meal or quick lunches on the go. Throughly enjoyed the great size pool to cool off each day & spoiled with the use of the BBQ, with the property big enough to kick a football around. Mamma Dor was always helpful & efficient easy to communicate with & a great host.

“Amazing!! Highly recommend.”
Pool was definitely a highlight! We had a last minute change in plans and DOR and her family were more than accomodating. She really went above and beyond and we’re so thankful. The location was really convenient and the house was beautiful!

The highlight of our 14-day stay was the pool. Great little villa, in a good location, has everything you need and more for your stay in beautiful Rarotonga. I'm booking this again next year as well as the bigger one next door. So I can bring the grandkids. Awesome stay.

“Hidden Gem Piece of Paradise!”
This place is amazing inside & out! Hidden gem on the island I say! Very homely & accomadating fitted with everything you will ever need well on holiday. I love the book shelf & board games provided, the rain ponchos if required Dor has everything sorted. Home is very clean, well looked after & lovely open plan layout onto the deck, roof fans & aircon so you dont need to worry about the heat. Dor was soooo amazing & made us feel at home making sure we had everything we needed. If your looking for a quiet spot on the island away from the rush then this is the place for you. There is nothing to not like about this place! The outdoor area deck / pool is well set out with furniture to relax, overlooking the pool and plantation, spent most of our time there. Your own private pool is a super bonus! Thank you Dor & family for letting us enjoy your piece of paradise. Good things always come to an end, we were sad to leave but look forward to returning Te Etu Villa is top pick for us!! Highly recommend to others who are looking into booking, Dor will make sure you are well looked after & nothing is to much of an ask. Appreciate you Dor 😊 thank you!! thankk you!! thank youuu!! x
