These Villa's fit their name like a glove, PARADISE Holiday Homes!! Awesome layout, perfect facilities inside and outside, swimming pool was a life saver and our host family was awesome. These villas catered ALL our needs for our group of 19 people. We loved that it was tucked away in the forest of Rarotonga so we had the best of both worlds. The beach and bush of this beautiful island. Big Bob was always a phone call away and we saw Lil Bob on the daily doing maintenance of the 4 villas. Our group flight bookings changed 4 times since July 2022 and Big Bob was always accommodating. Our host family also did a supermarket shop before we landed on the island so it was ready and in our villas when we landed. It was the small things that really counted for us. Thank you Paradise Holiday Homes for making our stay and my daughter's 21st birthday so special. Arohanui Michelle

Located on the absolute beachfront, Vaiakura Holiday Homes offers spectacular sunset views. The property is situated just 5 minutes' walk from local restaurants and across the road from a grocery store.

Our stay at Vaiakura couldn’t have been better. Stayed with partner and two kids (17 & 14). The unit had everything we needed and was comfortable. And what a setting! Set right on the sand, it was a daily delight to sit on the deck and enjoy the picture postcard view. Raewyn and her son Rhett were fantastic hosts. Very welcoming and accommodating. We loved the free access to kayaks and snorkelling gear and thoroughly enjoyed the company of their three dogs and the two cats. They have created a small swimming spot out front of their property and can snorkel out the front - even better snorkelling just 150m up the beach.

Loved the breakfast the first day would happily have paid Xtra to have one every day. Rob and Anna where friendly and had great advice about where to go and what to do while there.

    Such a beautiful location and such a well appointed holiday home. Hosts were lovely to deal with and even had the fridge stocked with the basics plus bonus drinkies!! Amazing array of water toys to use (kayaks, life jackets, water shoes etc) We had bad weather to start with but the property is soo well setup it was easy to relax and enjoy to spite the rain. Lots of areas to sit outside that are sheltered and plenty of room inside too. Cannot recommend this holiday home enough.

    There were 10 of us travelling and we only stayed for one night as we transitioned to a holiday home. And overall experience was fantastic. Beds were super comfy and loads of space for all three rooms we had booked. clean, cool and comfy. We also booked for the island night and had breakfast and all was just right for us, we really enjoyed our stay. But the real stars was staff, everyone was super friendly and made you feel welcome.

    We loved it. It felt like a super comfy beach bach (holiday home) set just off the main ring road. Beautiful garden, cats, goats, chickens. The hosts were just great, even rented us a shooter at half the commercial rate - ran well too. Perfect for a off-resort, self contained, relaxing break.

    This is a great holiday home, with amazingly comfortable beds, and everything you need to enjoy your time in Raro. We loved the spaces, large covered outdoor area and the separate living/tv area for the kids. Good showers, great bathrooms. Plenty of towels, both for the bathrooms and the beach. Well equipped kitchen, and only a short hikoi to a great beach.

Each villa was equipt with everything you could possibly need. 4 spacious bedrooms per villa with interconnecting bathrooms, huge dinning and entertainment area and most importantly each villa had its pool that lit up at night.
