    Island Time Villas - Villa Kakaia

    Island Time Villas offers one of the best holiday accommodation alternatives. There are no confined spaces here, just lots of freedom, perfect for that "get away from it all" holiday.

    Comprising two separate 3-bedroom villas, each villa can be rented individually or together to accommodate up to 12 people - ideal for extended or 2-family holidays.
    **See our other listing # 20026118 for Villa 1 Marino.**

    Located at the southern end of Muri Lagoon, great snorkelling and swimming is only a short stroll away. The beach is less than 100 metres away with access via a walkway directly opposite the villas.

    There are great outdoor areas on the large property including a plunge pool, gazebo and lovely gardens with an array of tropical palms and flowers.

    Being family friendly we have portacots and highchairs available for use during your stay should you require them.

    Located at the rear of the property, Villa 2 “Kakaia” has great views towards the lush interior mountains.

    Spacious in lay-out and decorated with pacific flair, the tropical colours of palm frond green and red hibiscus will definitely remind you that you’re on holiday in the Pacific.

    Outdoor entertaining is well catered for with an extended covered verandah flowing out from the living room and kitchen, making al-fresco bbqs a breeze.

    Excellent value
    Jaret was awesome to deal with. Top notch communication, checked in with us to make sure we were all settled in and was only a phone call away if we needed anything. House was very spacious, clean and tidy and great indoor/outdoor flow. Nice outdoor area and pool. Great location with muri a stones throw away, shops right next door and beach across the road. Loved it

    Fantastic holiday home very close the Muri Beach. Good sized house with a great range of amenities. Well set up kitchen with everything you need. All of the rooms are of a good size and also has a great outdoor covered area. Beautiful, well maintained gardens with heaps of space.

    Great Location Great House
    The house is great and as described. Very well appointed with everything you could need. Jaret and Amber were very accommodating. Location is great as well. We loved the kayaks that were there for everyone's use and the pool is very nice as well. Grounds are lovely and tidy. And really appreciated the landline so you could make local calls, really helped with organising stuff! Would highly recommend!

    Fantastic large family friendly home
    Our family of 4 loved the spacious house and lawn, great pool area and beautiful gardens. Lovely outdoor spaces. Just across the road to the beach and close to central Muri for restaurants and shops. Wonderful friendly hosts. Quiet neighbourhood. Perfect.

    Great stay!
    We loved our stay at this villa! The major positives were the communal swimming pool and the immediate close proximity to a bakery, liquor store, small grocery store and independent small restaurants. Our local hosts were amazing. They looked after all of our needs and we’re a very close call away. In fact, our local car rental agency was also owned by Jarret and Amber ‘go Cook Islands’ ... absolutely fabulous to deal with! The ocean is located across the road with beautiful black rock stones and lots of hermit crabs and tital pools for the kids to keep busy with! Rarotonga, you are beautiful and wish to see you again!

    Wonderful!
    Our time in the Cook Islands was perfect, and we loved staying here. We had everything we needed, and the owner was available when we had a couple of questions during our stay. We would absolutely return in the future.

    Great property in a good location, we stayed there with 3 babies and was well equipped. Our only struggle was not having air conditioning, but the pool was great to cool off.
