The location is amazing. The lagoon is the best and having the wigmore across the street is super convenient.

Lovely little house right on the water's edge. Beautiful sandy beach only a few steps away. Prefect place for a romantic little drink in the afternoon or evening. Nice big deck to sunbath or relax in the shade on. Loved our stay .

Nothing specific - the house appears to have Starlink and we messaged the hosts to find out if it was for guests, but didn’t get a reply. Would have been nice to be able to use the nice big smart TV though.

Excellent location right on/over the beach. The large balcony with plenty of seating means you can get out of the sun, wind or rain when needed, (south of the island is a bit windy so this was good). The house was very clean and has everything you need. Also great to have the kayaks and snorkelling gear as the sea life (including turtles!) is amazing here.

Two minor issues really. No local phone so I had to buy a local sim card to make local calls to arrange trips on our stay. The other was a security night light on a timer that came on every night on the back deck. We wanted to sit outside and enjoy the stars, not possible since we couldn't turn off the light. It also required is to close all of that drapes in the house to make it dark enough to sleep. Internet was minimal but we could get it if you stood in the right spot on the back deck. It worked well enough to get email.

The house is perfect for a couple that wants a little more room than just a bungalow. Beautiful beach, easy access to snorkel and kayak gear. One of the best beaches around. The owner was very responsive when we had questions.

Loved the swimming in the lagoon right out the front door. Amazing covered deck area. House has all the basics.

Needed the fold down couch into a double bed in the lounge as had to sleep with my daughter in the double bed. Grand daughter had the spare bed. Great for a couple but not for single people.

Great Location on the beach and close to Wigmores. Good comfortable deck with snorkelling and canoe facilities. Good off site parking for the rental and nice enclosed clothes line for drying. Didn't need to visit other beaches as had all we needed in front of us. Did touristy stuff last trip

Such an amazing spot, couldn’t fault it if I tried!

The water pressure in the shower was terrible. The wind was very strong but there was no where to tie down the plastic wind guards.

The view, parking and friendly hosts were amazing

I would have liked to have a top sheet, as it was quite cold and didn’t love having the blanket directly on me. Checking instructions could be improved as we struggled to find the place and had to call the host a couple of times, which was complicated with our SIMs and flat battery.

The location is superb: right on the water on the best side of the island. We found bad weather but with the sun it would have been exceptional.

This property is epic! Great location on a pretty quiet beach front with great swimming right outside. The photos do not do it justice, it's a great layout. Very functional kitchen with all the utensils/ implements etc needed. More than ample towels and face cloths provided. The washing machine and covered line area is great. The outside deck is so spacious and the sound of the beach is amazing. It was raining the whole time we were there but because the back half of the deck is covered it was absolutely fine. Tia is great, very easy to communicate with and had a great smoothie bar at the Muri night markets. Location is fab, so close to everything but feels like you are in your own little slice of paradise! Would absolutely stay here again and if you have a bigger group you could rent the place next door as well.

We didn’t like the automatic lights on the deck and beachfront. We would have liked to be able to turn these off. Also there was no internet or phone.

The location and aspect of the property is amazing.

Difficult to find the bach as cleaners did not put out the sign and there is no photo of the bach from the roadside to identify it - luckily we arrived on the afternoon flight so we spent a pleasant afternoon driving around the village until we found it.

Close to overwater bach experience that the beachfront photos don't show.Excellent privacy and bach is well appointed.

Maybe have a combination of low, medium to high puffy pillows to accommodate people of all postures.

Best location. Smoothed out sand, crystal clear water, restaurant across the road. Everything was easy.

Were abit cold and needed blankets. ( asked next day) We needed to wash each dish and cup before use due to coffee stains and food, and them looking like they had just been quickly run under the cold tap. TV didnt work. No biggie. Just no need to be there. Door on bedroom/curtains for more privacy in rooms.

Clean crisp sheets, outdoor furniture. Staff nice and very accommodating.

The Staff where brilliant. We rented for a month at very, very short notice after our previously booked accomidation "Disappeared" within a hour of our departure from NZ. Tia was our hero and managed to rotate us between her two locations so the " Issue" turned out to be a lucky break in the end. The location has excellent swimming 10 paces away .. not too deep until your out a bit , good snorkelling kayaking. ( Gear all came included). Walked along the beach to the see the turtles and there where rumours of them swimming all over the lagoon but we where not lucky enough to see them except on the tour. However the sight of Whales breeching viewed from the deck made up for that. Wigmores has everthing you need for a long stay and if you dont feel like cooking or going out the Chicken plate from there takeaways is highly recommended. Vakas on the beach is any easy walk along the beach and Charlies a long walk but worth it. Buses run right by the door and once you get the app, they are really conveniant. The places themselves, I think Tia herself would say " Batchy " rather than grand but really all you need and they are kept very clean by the couple who look after them. The month flew by and we left totally relaxed and unwound... Loved our time and Shall return Laura and Simon

BBQ would have been a great addition. Shower was basic.

Right on the beach. Fantastic to have Kayaks available for use. Beach house with wonderful views of the ocean.

The bed was a little uncomfortable and it would have been nice to have beach towels and snorkelling equipment available

The location right on the beach and the amazing deck and outdoor living

A safe would be nice for passports etc.. Possibly a table fan in kitchen? These are minor point though.

Location is fantastic right on a beautiful beach with all tide swimming. Great large covered deck area so you can sit out in sun or rain. Cool, comfortable accommodation with good ventilation and ceiling fans in each room

This property is on the water with a big, covered deck with great outdoor furniture. There are lots of kyacks and snorkelling gear. It’s a delightful place to swim and relax.

The ants, but this is very common in Raro.

Superb location right on the beach, felt very private. Excellent snorkelling location, free use of kayaks and snorkelling equipment. Accomodation was pleasant and comfortable. Awesome deck which we spent most of our time on looking out to the amazing view. Tia was lovely and good communication.
