Nikao Tapere Holidays from NZ$1,976

Very nice place to stay if you are after basic but good honest accommodation (not the place if you are after aircon and a big multi channel flat screen TV) The hosts Rudy and Kanoe were very friendly & helpful. Located right on the beach (but as others have said swimming not possible) and a very well stocked store just over the road. You do need transport to have freedom to get around - but the hire scooters from Muri are cheap, safe & really fun. Highly recommended (with the above conditions). Ian C

My family and I had a wonderful time staying at Te Moana Nui Villa. Our hosts were very welcoming, friendly and helpful. The house was clean, tidy and the shaded deck area was great when we needed a break from the heat. Just a few steps to the beach too, where our hosts had created a beautiful, private area for relaxing on loungers or having a meal right on the beach at a picnic table. It was so relaxing and peaceful that my mother in law read 5 books in 10 days! I will be recommending Te Moana Nui Villa and our host’s other fantastic villas to our friends and family. Thank you for a great stay in beautiful Rarotonga!

It was quiet off the beaten track of other tourist accommodation, nice pool and surrounding vegetation and grounds. Well priced had everything we needed. Private.

The staff were so friendly and welcoming. The standout was Rowena always with a smile to start your day, she has an incredible memory for names and for the guests preferences. Everyone appeared to enjoy their work and nothing was to much trouble for them. Food sunshine lying on the beach or sipping cocktails by the poolside they have it all.
