Lovely spot, great views and it felt very homely. The beach isn't swimmable really but we got to see whales at one point, and it was super close to swimmable Muri beach. The villa was tidied and refreshed each day and they gave us great advise for places to go to eat and activities. The only problem we had was the office was never attended and when I tried calling them I couldn't get through. Perhaps a doorbell would be helpful as I didn't want to go up to there house and disturb their privacy. Again, lovely hosts when they were available, they gave us snorkeling gear to borrow too. Highly recommend!

Svien and Michelle were absolutely lovely, and have the property to match. The villas were well maintained and in a spectacular location right by the water. Would never get tired of waking up to that view. The room was very comfortable, and had both a fan and a heat pump for those hot days/nights. The hosts were very friendly and made some great recommendations of places to go and things to do. Could not recommend this place enough. They really had all the bases covered with a relaxing pool and even had a bar onsite for people to use. A

What an experience. Spent 5 days relaxing, listening to the waves and watching the whales from our villa Michele & Svein are incredible hosts, felt like staying with family. They gave us lots of recommendations and let us in on a local secret involving pastries... Exactly what my girlfriend and I needed as we didn't plan anything and turned our phones off for the duration of the trip Highly recommend and will be staying there next time in Raro

This is the place to stay if you want an authentic Rarotongan experience while still being close to Muri and snorkelling areas. Seeing whales every day was an unexpected highlight! Our hosts were incredible- knowledgeable and always helpful. Would highly recommend.

The oceanfront location is spectacular, the only sounds are the ocean and the occasional rooster. It is safe and quiet, nice to sit oceanfront, there is limited beach entry. It is close to Muri village, island bus transportation is available, however a car would also be good.The room could use shelves or drawers for storage, we had to use the extra bed and living room chair to store our clothing. The AC stopped working and ventilation was difficult, the lanai door was open but there isn't much opportunity to open other windows for free air flow. Owners are on the property and are friendly and helpful. However, somewhat cavalier in charging your credit card early.
