“Quiet and peaceful”
The villas are in a lovely location, right on the waterfront, however unfortunately you can’t swim there. Nice and close to muri beach though. Quiet and peaceful and we loved our cocktails at happy hour!

“Lovely peaceful, private and quiet place for couples to stay with incredible hosts. If we return we would definitely try”
Was nice and private- each villa is separate from the others. Lovely Island surroundings and right by the beach (not for swimming). The hosts are wonderful; very friendly and helpful and far better servicing the villas than any hotel I’ve been to. You go out and by the time you are back you have fresh towels and the room is tidy and clean. Loved that it was quiet too and not loads of kids running around like the resorts

“A beautiful place to sit back, relax and enjoy the best of Rarotonga”
Such a beautiful, peaceful place. Our villa was spacious, really comfortable and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The whole property is beautiful, from the amazing views over the coral beach and reef, to the artwork on the outside of each of the villas, to the immaculate gardens. Michele and Svein were very welcoming and gave us some great tips for things to see and do.

“Friendly hosts and great restaurant at the front of the property that is well worth visiting. Big meals and great drinks”
Very quiet and having limited WiFi and tv was great to switch off from our normal lifestyle. Great view from our beach front villa of the sea. Make sure to go to happy hour on a Sunday night 😊

“The Villas were perfect for what we required, and everyone came away with a great Raro experience.”
Owners were great, low key and very obliging. Property suited our group makeup. Views from villas were outstanding and very relaxing vibes. House bar while not always available was great and very reasonable prices.

“10/10 WOULD RECOMMEND!!”
My stay at The Passage Villas was amazing!! The property owners, Michele & Svein, were lovely and very helpful! They even offered to drop me to the town markets one morning! I appreciated the offer and the drive so very much!! There’s wifi on the property, a pool, & our villas were right on the beach… A truly beautiful stay! Our towels were changed daily and breakfast was provided on our first morning! The views outside my window were remarkable! Thanks for the beautiful stay, Michele & Svein!! I definitely want to come back!!
