    The bedroom was close to the road so you got traffic noise but this wouldn’t stop us from stayed by here again.

    Located right on the beach. Perfect for a couple and had everything we needed. Short walk to the shop.

    Excellent location for all the popular activities including the mud buggies and swimming with sea turtles, which were both in walking distance. Wigmores food store nearby. The beach/water quality by the property was excellent, better swimming than by Rarotongan. The kayak was a bonus! The hosts were excellent and really responsive. I would definitely stay there again. One thing to note if you have smaller children, the second bedroom is accessed outdoors and down the stairs.

    Perfect location, large house, crystal clear water, white sand & snorkelling on your doorstep.

    The only downside (and it didn't ruin our holiday) was that the 4th bedroom was a windowless box room that only had ventilation onto the lounge with no curtains. We over came this by moving a bed into one of the double rooms which made a king and single in that room which 2 of the teenage kids then shared which wasn't a hassle. The 3 usable bedrooms are all big (the master bedroom is massive) - I think there is another bedroom off the deck that bigger groups can add onto this house to make a additional double but we didn't need it for our booking. There isn't anything else negative, it is an easy going Rarotongan holiday home that we thought was fantastic and we would love to stay there again.

    We stayed in the 4/5 bedded Henry Arapati House and loved it. The location was fantastic for our family of 5 which included 3 teenagers. The house is huge with 2 bathrooms and was clean, but has an easy "lived in" feel, which makes you relax when you are on holiday. The little shop opposite sold seasonal fruit and emergency essentials, and the Wigmore Superstore is a 10 min walk and the CITC store a 5 min drive. The beach outside the front deck is stunning, and the ability to snorkel from outside the front of the house is priceless. The outside shower and foot-hose was a huge bonus, as were the sheltered outside couches that you can curl up on and read, sketch, drink and admire the view. BBQ was great, and having inside and outside dining tables were great options if the wind was gusty at the front. The turtle tours leave from only 5 mins walk away along the beach, and in our opinion the snorkelling from outside the front of the house was the best on the island with better fish and coral than the west coast. The property felt really private with hardly any people walking past on the beach, and we hardly saw and didn't hear the neighbours either side. The 2 kayaks were a great way to explore the stunning reef too, The water cooler and heaps of ice trays in the huge fridge/freezer were great additions. Small things like having Sistema click-clack boxes for food storage away from ants, and a cupboard with essential condiments and foil / clingwrap were nice touches -like you'd find in a NZ Holiday home. Lots of plates, glasses and wine glasses made home catering easy, and there was even Netflix available on the TV which made for a family movie night on the huge comfy couches. The washing machine and 5 clothes lines in the car port which had the afternoon sun, made it easy to dry washing / beach towels too.

    bedroom is close to the road so not super quiet but still comfortable.. if weather turns stormy property obviously exposed to ocean so loose the sitting areas outside and inside is tight - not a big deal but a note..

    great location, basic but clean & comfortable with everything you need. amazing view and snorkeling at your door.

    What is there not to like. You are in Raro! Just expect that things are a little older than you might expect and that is ok. This place has a bit of a rustic bach feel to it.

    The location is amazing, While buses stop pretty close you need to note they are hourly depending which way you go. We actually hired e-bikes and did a lap around the island which was great. The upstairs of this place is lovely and relaxing with great views. Snorkeling was amazing and people even saw turtles right out the front on our beach. The turtle tours are a few sites down so easy to get to if you are into that. Wigmore superstore great for getting the few things you need. The fresh tuna out the back is pretty reasonable in price.

    The place could do with some renovations like repair the rotting window sill and separation wall on the deck. And some new painting.

    Perfect location right on the beach with good snorkeling at high tide. Very spacious with great deck area overlooking the lagoon.

    I would have to say that there was nothing that we didn't like.

    The time spent in this Home was relaxing and all that we had wanted. We could not have asked for anything more, totally excellent holiday place and location. It was simply amazing being able to sit out on the verandah and watch the water for as long as we did each nioght.

    Nothing really, but it's worth noting that this isn't a flashy or luxurious property so doesn't have aircon.

    Fantastic location, absolute beachfront on one of the best beaches in Rarotonga. Large house with good kitchen facilities and comfortable furniture. Excellent outdoor living area with direct access to the beach. Friendly owner who meet us on arrival and was very helpful throughout. Great internet service via starlink. Adjacent lagoon is perfect for swimming, snorkeling, kayaking etc.

    We didn’t like that our holiday was ending but we loved it so much that we are returning next year.

    We thoroughly loved our family vacation here. The hosts were lovely, easy going & quick to respond. The location is top notch right on the beach. Literally the end of the deck is white sand & the beautiful water. We swam multiple times during the day/night. The accommodation provides kayaks/paddle boards & snorkelling equipment. Water clarity was amazing for snorkelling. We saw a variety of fish within metres of stepping into the ocean. Turtle tours within walking distance from the house but I was fortunate to see a turtle swim past me right in front of the accommodation. It’s very handy having a little shop across the road to buy groceries. Bring cash as the little shop doesn’t have eftpos. Wigmores store & takeaway is a short walk up the road & they have eftpos as well as an ATM.

    The only thing was we got a lot of Southerly wind, which has nothing to do with the property. But it was very windy on the deck for most of the time we were there. The 5 days where it wasn't blowing were perfect!

    Loved the location and the set up!

    The local dog quartet reminded you they were there at 3am, but not every night and nothing you can do about that.

    Location was better than expected. Rooms were huge, and the separate kitchen area was perfect when you have other guests who stay up later than you. The upstairs with the living area was spot on when there were periods of rain, to sit comfortably staring out to the gorgeous view. Beach is right at the doorstep, with the best turtle tour just down the beach. Wee store across the road were very friendly. Walking distance to a bigger grocery store. Water bottle was a bonus, with a filling station just across from the bigger store. Everything was handy, and just perfect for a relaxing week. Host communication was awesome, locating keys was easy and provided prior to arrival. Couldn't fault our week in paradise. Thank you so very much

    Humid and sticky at night but fans certainly helped (this is during wet season)

    Beautiful location, large shady deck to relax in and soak up the views. Kids can swim and snorkel just out the front. Little shop out the front with fresh fruit, drinks and snacks also. Perfect! Would highly recommend this property :)

    Noisey dogs across the road

    Communication was easy from the start. Accommodation was perfect for our family of 5 adults. We loved the outdoor area, so nice to laze about with an amazing view. Being right on the beach was such a bonus. We made the most of the kayak and snorkeling gear and we're amazed at how many fish we saw without having to go too deep. Location was great, and having a little shop directly across the road was very handy at times.
