waking up to a view of beach 20m from your deck, 5min walk to one of the best restaurataurant/bar in Rarotonga and also a 2min walk to a bakery.This house had everything you need from cooled filtered bottled water, lots of towels which was great also. The deck was just amazing morning, noon and night.Only one complaint - but not house related BLOODY ROOSTERS

A great location suitable for two couples as the bedrooms bathrooms are the same so each have privacy. Am missing he sound of the waves on the reef. Thanks Eddie
We whale watched from the deck, sat on the loungers in the sun, swam, walked from Marino to the Saturday market and into town. This property has all we neeeded for a comfortable and self contained holiday experience.

Fantastic house to stay in.
Fantastic house to stay in. Very clean, affordable and well equipped. A very private place to stay if not a little noisy. This is to be expected as the airport is quite close, not much of a problem though. It is close to town and a 24/7 servo just down the road. A bar on the beach a little bit further on. Good snorkeling on a quite stretch of lagoon. I highly recommend it.

Perfect property for us, clean and very well equipped and set out. Wonderful outlook from the deck and close enough to shops to make life easy. Planning on returning and using this as our base once again to explore more of beautiful Rarotonga.

The property was immaculate, not to far from the main town centre, great beach front location.
