Inave Tamaiva with pool
Great home for a family get together; three really good bathrooms was super helpful as three couples (including the bride) prepared for the wedding. Very relaxing around the pool too.

Te Are Anau - The Family Home
Beautiful private home with beautiful pool , Clean comfortable and fully equiped . Lovely people and highly recommend.

Starboard Ocean Villa (pool, oceanfront, free car)
We had the most amazing time at Starboard which was pure paradise. From the moment we arrived, the stunning ocean views took our breath away, and the villa itself was better than the photos. The infinity pool was our daily retreat, we couldn't get enough of it. The kitchen was fully equipped, making it easy to cook meals, and the complimentary coffee, fruit, and fresh bread were great touches. Waking up to the sunrise over the ocean each morning was a highlight. While the beach in front of the villa is more for sunbaking than swimming, the pool more than made up for it. Muri Beach is also just a short drive away and perfect for swimming. Having the car included was amazing. It made exploring the island, going to dinners, and doing day tours really easy. Our host Anita went above and beyond to assist us during our stay (including meeting us at the airport on the final day to collect the car) - the epitome of a super host. Don’t hesitate - book now!

The Blue Estate
I felt I could message the host anytime before and while we were there and she responded quickly. Helpful. Great ammenities.

Nevaeh Holiday Home + Pool + Unlimited Internet
Great place to stay, great to have a pool on those scorcher days, little one absolutely loved it. Beware if you are a bit of a late sleeper or enjoy your sleep, chickens on the island dont really make that possible, otherwise was a great location for us, very clean and neat. My only issue was with a little one the wasps were a bit of a nuisance, they are all over the island but we seemed to get quite a few roaming into the house, after 3 they dissapeared so it was great to enjoy the outside space at that point. I would recommend this place to any family wanting to unwind and enjoy some Raro outdoors, undercover area was perfect for those rainy afternoons. Thanks again Demond and Tracy, you guys made this experience easy and seemless foe our first trip to Raro, thanks for the use of the car this was an absolute lifesaver for us. Truly great hosts.

Red Hibiscus Luxury Home
Extremely spacious accommodation and very clean. Very close to airport but this didn't bother us as the planes don't go often. Love the spa. The host was super responsive and helpful. Air con only in bedrooms, but didnt bother us as it wasn't the height of summer. Easy self check in and there was even some snorkel gear to borrow as well. Very close to main town and supermarkets, easy to find with instructions from host. Would definitely stay again, thank you!

Kokacabana Beach House,100% Muri Beach Front, Pool
We were looking for a beach front spot for my boys to snorkel the lagoon and to enjoy the sun and warmth of the island. This spot was incredible. We walked up and down the Muri beach and IMO this spot has THE BEST beach front set up. Every morning I would drink my tea at sunrise under the palm trees on the beach with warm breeze. I loved sitting in the loungers for hours either in the palm trees shade or in the sun on the beach. We snorkeled and paddle boarded a ton. Adam and Sarah took great care of us while we were there with taxis and suggested things to do. The house had plenty of space and the landscaping was beautiful. Even though there was no air conditioning, the breeze off the ocean and ceiling fans kept us cool and comfortable. The only downside, which would absolutely not keep me from coming back here again, was a strong musty odor whenever you opened the kitchen cabinets. I imagine with the humidity it’s hard to keep enclosed spaces free of mold. Still highly recommend.

LeiSaane Villa Rarotonga
Place is a little more dated than photos but has everything you need. Place was clean and it was nice having air con in the bedrooms. Plunge pool was lovely for a quick morning or afternoon dip!

Spacious Island-Style Pool Villa
We decided to go with an Airbnb instead of a resort being a family. Was so pleased we did. The villa is so spacious and fitted our family perfectly. Couple minutes walk to the beautiful beach. Was perfect for snorkeling or just chilling. Rachael and Tom were great hosts. If we had any issues (which we didn't) we could call anytime. Miss 3 1/2 absolutely loved the pool.

Summer house Rarotonga
Thank You for letting us still stay, even when you were away and can say that this was the best. Love the morning wakeup calls, even at 5 in the morning from the roosters in the area lol and would listen to this rather than the traffic along the main road.

Natura Beach Pool 3BM Villa 2
Amazing home, achieve all our expectativas, you have one of the best beaches just in front where you can snorkel or swim , supermarket 200 meters, kayak, snorkel all for you. The house is in perfect conditions and Tuaine is a lovely person. Definitely will come back.

Beach access @Yellow Bird Villas
The Yellow Bird was AMAZING!! Such a cute and comfortable house so close to the beach! Quiet and peaceful. The beach goes as far as you can see in either direction and was the best beach on the island! Beach bars a 5 minute walk in either direction. Excellent sunsets. Tuka was super responsive and accommodated us for a last minute change in location. I would 100% stay here again!!!

Moemoea Rua – Brand new | FREE WiFi
Moemoe is in a beautiful location just across from the beach and 3 restaurant choices, as well as a small, home veggie market. The yard has fresh fruit and nunbirds, which are lovely to watch from the lanai. Eileen is quickly responsive and helpful!

Paia's Holiday Home
We felt relaxed the moment we arrived! The view is spectacular, having our ‘own’ beach amazing & the snorkelling on our doorstep fabulous. The house is well set up, there are lots of places to stock up nearby, plus loads of eating out options close. We did most of our living outside because the view really is unbeatable. The house is simple but had everything we needed.

Puretu's Beachfront House 4
My husband and I had a wonderful stay. The deck looking straight out to the lagoon was a huge treat. You couldn’t get closer to great snorkelling. The location is just off the main road, close to great coffee and food choices. The interior was spotless and had everything you would need. We would highly recommend this as a base in Rarotonga.

Kanoa’s Haven- Sunset & Beach nearby
This house was perfect for our group of three, (one couple and a single) and would work well for two couples also. It was beautifully clean and had everything we needed. It is a duplex but is very private and quiet and we loved the deck. Netflix was a bonus and the beach across the road was awesome for snorkelling we saw three turtles! There is an outside shower, ceiling fans, moisquito screens on windows, a BBQ and we were supplied with a large filtered water bottle with a pump which you can refill for free at a couple of places around the island. Its walking distance to the Rarotongan, shipwreck hut, a service station/shop and Belufa cafe. Very good value and we enjoyed our stay thank you.

Ardi Escape 2 Bedroom Unit
Loved the house! Highly recommend hiring a car as it is a bit of a walk if you don’t. But the outdoor shower was amazing, the house was exactly as described and absolutely perfect. The beds were extremely comfortable. Diane was able to accomodate our quick changes we needed. Would stay again next time we come to raro!

Snowbird's peaceful, quiet, quality 2 bedroom home
We're grateful to Glen for sharing his home with us. Our family had a wonderful stay, surrounded by lush wildlife, local insects, and friendly neighborhood pets (Tails, Becsy, and Kitty). *Important Notes:* - The property can be tricky to find, but follow the provided map, and you'll arrive safely. Turn at the friendly Mart, proceed to the end, turn right, and it's 400m down the road on the corner. - Be prepared for a rustic, no-frills experience. The island's humid climate means things can get damp, and wildlife/insects may find their way into the house. - The property is located at the top of a steep gravel hill, so you’ll need a car - This property is ideal for small families or couples; it's not suitable for large gatherings or parties, as the owner and neighbors live nearby. - Breathtaking views that are amazing to wake up to every morning - Unique opportunity to connect with nature and local wildlife - Friendly neighborhood pets that will capture your heart Thanks Glen

Aroa Bungalow - Aroa Beach!
Loved the quaintness and proximity to great snorkelling beach (swam with turtle there on our last day). Also close to good rental place for scooter. Host was responsive, helpful and available. Very chilled - wish we could have stayed longer.

Torea Heights Luxury Villa
Very nice to met Carrol, and her family. They are so kind, and always ready to help you with any questions. Definitely, will come back for this place.

Hibiscus Holiday Home
As soon as we walked in we felt we were home. The house had all we needed and more, the pool was a blessing in between trips to town or activities to cool down. Rebecca’s was also responsive to messages. Thank you again, we look forward to our return.

Casa Del Sol
Stayed here for a week with our entire family inc 3 children. It was just what we wanted. Space was adequate, pool and garden were beautiful. We also booked the outside garden room which is an extra perk if you have a larger group. We always prefer to stay in land when we visit Rarotonga and this home was nestled right in land. The staff on site Arjay & Jhoy are wonderful people and great groundskeepers. Be mindful that if you only book one villa that any guests in the second villa will be sharing your pool and outside area with you. If you prefer privacy you may want to book both the villas together. Cannot thank you enough for hosting us, we will be returning in 2025!

Lime Tree Home
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at your home. It had everything we needed and more. The pool kept the kids (11 & 14) busy regardless of weather. The kitchen, laundry and bathroom were perfect, complete with little details like a spare toothbrush. Communication with Rangi, Claire and Amy was easy and it was so helpful that they extended our stay by .5 day to accommodate our evening flight. Would definitely stay there again!

Are' Rimaira Beachfront
We had a great time at Sane and Joseph’s place. The highlight was the beachfront location with the ability to snorkel off the beach. The hosts were very helpful and accomodating, providing a cot and high chair for our baby. There were a few ants around and we weren’t able to leave the doors open due to mosquitos, but these were minor. Overall would highly recommend.
