A Hidden Gem
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. The indoor/outdoor living at this property was perfect for us and we enjoyed the beautiful tropical garden. The home was perfectly appointed and there was nothing we needed. Thank you for a memorable and relaxing stay.

Rarotonga bliss
our family love the well appointed home with lovely sheltered garden. Ideal for my 3 year old grand daughter to play in safely and just a short walk across the road to the beach where there is a great beach hut with kayaks and a little kitchen....outdoor tables and chairs. Our family loved the location, the beach, the house....it is our second stay. I can recommend it for families or a group of friends

Fabulous property with spectacular gardens
Wow! What a beautiful property. The gardens are absolutely stunning and the location is perfect. The beach hut is a wonderful addition giving this property the best of both worlds. This property would suit families and adults alike. Thank you Connie for allowing our family group to stay in your lovely home. We felt that Connie was available if we needed anything but we appreciated that she allowed us our privacy and space. Also, we absolutely love your dog who we nicknamed “Pete” while we were there. He was a loved extra member of the family We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again Thank you!! Joel and Daya

Amazing Location!!! Perfect for the whole family
We loved our stay. Seriously couldn’t have picked a better location. We loved the ocean front covered beach hut. The kayaks and stand up paddle boards were perfect for our ocean adventures. The dogs in the island were my favorite part. Sweet and friendly. Thanks Connie
