A beautiful property, comfortable and roomy. Loved all the rooms open to the private garden. Well set up to eat and cook inside or outside. Short walk down the drive to the beach and own beach hutt, also well equipped. Our aged groups ranged from 20 somethings to late 70s and worked for all of us. Groceries nearby. Circular bus nearby but we found a car necessary for our diverse needs. Connie our host was easily available and we had a warm inviting introduction. Pantry stocked with necessaries. We will stay again when we can

Great

Our family of 7 adults stayed for a week and really enjoyed our time - the house is really well equipped with lots of kitchen/bbq equipment, a great living area and spacious bedrooms. Two bathrooms was a bonus. The location is really good - great snorkelling just across the road, only 100m down the road/beach to many of the snorkelling tour operators, and conveniently located about half way between town / the airport and Muri lagoon. The beach hut on the beachfront had kayaks and tables/shade etc which was great. Recommended!

Home away from Home

We had an absolutely delightful stay at Connie’s and would highly recommend! Lovely home, plenty of room for all 7 of us, clean and lots of little touches that were much appreciated. The gardens are beautiful, the views incredible and just across the road from a gorgeous beach. Then you have your very own beach hut which is much bigger than I expected & has plenty of kayaks, snorkels, reef shoes etc and loads of room to sit and watch the kids play on the beach if you get tired. We really could have stayed a lot longer and would definitely come back again. Location is very handy. Connie is a lovely lady as is her sister Jacqui. Thankyou so much for a wonderful stay :)

Perfect Getaway

Had an amazing time and the house had everything we needed. Large spacious clean rooms, great outdoor dining area which provided great family evenings. Beach hut across the road was an added bonus and had snorkelling gear, kayaks etc. Connie is a great host and had just the right amount of communication. Would recommend this place. Roosters always a problem with noise, use earplugs if you are a light sleeper, it is the same all-around Rarotonga.

House by the beach

The house, with its geckos and kayaks was great. Water cooler was a great addition as well as the welcome pack with delicious papayas. Rooms were spacious and comfortable but it would have been great to know the bedrooms were outside of the main living area as it was a bit disconcerting to have no locks on the house and have bedrooms able to be accessed from the yard. There were no problems while we stayed but it did take some getting used to.

Wonderful location. The house is luxurious with everything one needs and a stunning garden. Connie is a lovely hostess. A minute stroll to the beach. The 'beach hut' is very spacious. A wonderful space to hang out with books and company. There is a shower to wash off after swims. There is a 'snorkel with the turtles' outing that leaves from next door.

Home and garden

Six NZers, all repeat visitors to Rarotonga booked this house for a week. It has its own private beach house (w kayaks and chairs and shower), it has a gorgeous garden and views of the peaks and taro fields. It is back off the road so quiet and private. It’s very clean and well provisioned and the 24/7 shop is close by. We received instant help when a door slammed shut in wind gust, from lovely management staff and really enjoyed our stay. Would recommend.

A lovely stay in a stunning location … excellent amenities and perfect for a family of teenagers - everyone got their own space. Located super close to the beach and walking distance to some excellent snorkeling opportunities.
