Paradise on the Beach!

Posted Feb 13, 2015

Love it— Right on the beach with a nice sized room with good cooking facilities (just don't leave food out #ants). Corner store is near but I had a rented car so was able to drive to the main supermarket. Prices were surprisingly good— I wouldn't not bother with the amount of food that I took this time, just bring luxury items. Room really nice although there is no Air Con. Ceiling fan however does the trick. Would defiantly stay again, outstanding value for money. 5 out of 5

We LOVED staying at the Rarotonga Villas. Perfect location right on the beach and walking distance into town and also to lots of great restaurants. Our hosts were FANTASTIC - so friendly and helpful. The facilities were new, modern, comfortable and clean. We would definitely stay again with our families. Posted:  AIRBNB by Adam April 2015

Pros: Beachfront location, awesome sunsets, modern, clean, relaxed, private, well-equipped and friendly helpful host.

Cons: Extra storage would be a bonus and trimming trees to improve outlook.

Location: Sheltered part of island, quiet beach, swim and snorkel in front of villa, close to town. Little close to runway but does not detract from enjoyment.

Ideal couples retreat on the beach. Philip the host is warm and welcoming. The villas are modern, clean and well equipped. We were so comfortable here we didn't want to leave. We rented a motorbike to get to town and around the island. Everything was very relaxed and easy. Viama restaurant is a must. Occasional plane overhead more a novelty than issue.

 

 

Great place to stay!

Posted Jun 27, 2014

Pros: Cleanliness, new villas.

Location: Close to eateries and transport.

We recently stayed at these villas and had an awesome time. Our host Phillip, was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and very accommodating. The villas were spotless and quite close to the eateries of the NW coast of Rarotonga, as well as right on the lagoon on the protected side of the island. Fantastic sunsets! The bus passes right at the front gate but we hired a car for convenience. We'd strongly recommend Rarotonga villas as a self-contained alternative for the budget conscious. Very close to the import, but we got used to the planes (3 - 4 per day) passing so close and low.5 out of 5

Easy living:

Posted Aug 10, 2015

Pros: On the sea shore! Beach out of your bungalow. Loved it.

Location: Right at the end of the airport runway (West end). Close to restaurants, shops, airport (planes fly overhead, literally), car and scooter hire places.

Wonderful experience. Friendly Phil was always on hand to assist if required. Only 4 bungalows. Very laid back set up, close to town and restaurants. Perfect if you prefer to do your own thing as opposed to a Resort. Shops nearby. Scooters hire nearby and great fun, highly recommended. Phil picked us up from the Airport and showed us around town, where to eat, hire vehicles etc.4 out of 5

Phillip was waiting to welcome me when my flight landed and promptly took me to the Villas and got me settled in. He explained everything quickly and made me feel right at home, the perfect start to a beautiful week in Rarotonga. The location was very convenient as I was traveling for work and wanted quick access to town as well as a beach setting to go "home" to. The unit I stayed in was brand new, very roomy and comfortable. Yes, the Villas are very close to the airport, and you definitely hear the planes when they take off, but I didn't find it a big negative. (I'd rather find a way to muzzle the roosters that are everywhere on the island and don't seem to have gotten the memo about no crowing at night!) My friends were staying in a resort a mile or so away and they had roosters at their place as well. Just got to "go with it" and see it as part of the Raro experience.       (September 2015) Posted by: AirBNB Laurie.

Rarotonga Villas is definitely a place we would stay at again and recommend to anyone travelling to Rarotonga!! Host Jo from my very first enquiry email was absolutely amazing and so helpful with everything we needed and more. Her prompt responses and detailed information helped us especially being our first visit to Rarotonga. Photos of villa does not justify how beautiful and breathe taking it really was. The location was perfect, the villa itself was stunning.. The fact we pretty much had our own private beach was perfect! Phil was very helpful making our stay so enjoyable and one to remember.. He made us feel right at home and safe with where we were staying. Everything we needed and wanted was there for us.. If we weren't at a family event we would honestly not leave our villa and enjoy every second of being there..that's just how amazing everything was. Thankyou Jo and Phil for everything you both done making our first trip to Rarotonga a memorable one and we wouldn't want to stay anywhere else but your stunning villas. Our families that visited wished they had stayed at the same villas. (November 2015) Posted by:Sitoe - AirBNB


FRESH...New...Friendly. (Stayed December 2015, travelled as a couple)

Rarotonga villas is a great place to stay if you want to enjoy privacy... I hate large hotels where every one knows what you are doing...... The lagoon is a stones throw from the villa. We had sun almost every day so enjoyed swimming 2/3 times a day. The villas are well equip with large beds crisp sheets and very fluffy towels and a well equipt kitchen area... Large private deck with an amazing sea view .... Yes there are planes ... after the first couple of days I didn't hear them .... the owners are awesome and can't do enough.... I think the location far nicer than Muri at the opposite side of the island we didn't encounter the constant breeze that Muri has. So many thanks to Jo and Phillip ..... Will be recommending you to lots of friends. thecatlady2016
