    Nothing. Everything was perfect

    Everything! The location is perfect - situated right in front of a great snorkeling spot. We swam with eagle rays right in the lagoon and saw pods of whales breaching and having a play beyond the reef. The villa is very clean and tidy and has everything we needed to feel like a 'home away from home'. Catherine is an awesome host too. We will definitely be back for our next holiday in Rarotonga

    My elderly Mum struggled to get down and up from the beach - some steps would be great and although the beds in the second room were comfy, they were a bit small. Great for kids or little people:)

    Great location - just a few minutes walk from the best snorkelling spot on the island! Very close to the beach with good snorkelling on a calm day. Catherine, the host, was so lovely and couldn’t do enough for us. We had everything we needed and even had the bonus of Netflix!

    The bathroom has nice amenities which all work well however the tile grouting is missing in quite a few places, it’s clean but it’s not as nice as it could be. The two small couches are comfortable enough but a couple of extra armchairs or bean bags would be great to enable all 4 guests to have something relaxing to sit on.

    We stayed in villa Tahi. Lovely clean beachfront 2 bedroom Villa with large covered deck and natural rock steps down to the beach. Views of the lagoon and reef from the lounge, main bedroom, and deck. Great snorkelling in the lagoon straight out from the villa. Down to the right is where the lagoon cruises moor their boats while guests snorkel, we swam out there and found giant clams, and even came across a turtle while snorkelling at the fruits of Rarotonga area, just a few minutes walk/swim from the villa. Night markets, convenience store, coffee shop, Vietnamese restaurant, burgers, and massage spas all within 5-20min walk from the villas. The villa has a full kitchen with crockery, utensils etc to enable self catering. Both bedrooms have aircon & fans. Filtered drinking water is provided. Catherine and staff are lovely and very prompt at responding to any requests. Loved our stay, we’d return if able.

    The property needs a little repair works eg. floor tiles lifting etc. But the location & views override the flaws.

    Leaving- it was a very relaxing place. Just a couple of little maintenance issues that would improve the experience- bathroom mirror needs replacing, no BBQ, privacy screen pole needs securing and a few more bowls platters for self catering. Which we communicated to Catherine when we left.

    The location of the villa was fantastic. A lovely deck to have meals on and enjoy the view. Right on the beach with wonderful snorkelling right out the door. Felt private and there were some good grocery, takeaway and restaurants close by. Good kitchen to cook in. Nice beds. Catherine was very friendly and responsive.

    The first set of bed sheets had several stains. Standard check in is at 17:00, which can be quite late depending on your flight, but earlier check in might be possible upon request. The card machine was broken so we had to pay cash, which made our stay a bit more expensive due to atm and bank costs.

    The location on the southeast side of Raro is luxury. The villa is more homey and not so much luxury, but spacious and mostly clean. Easily houses 4 persons. AC in the bed rooms. Great wifi, no need to get an expensive sim card. Plenty of amenities were included, including lots of drinking water. The reef in front of the villa is one of the best in Rarotonga. We saw eagle rays every day, puffer fish, a moray eel and thousands of tropical fish.
